The Pathless for Negative User Reviews

Beautifully painfulI love your game. Seriously, I downloaded this game and as many have said before, games tend to bore me after a week or two of playing. This game on the other hand captures my ADHD mind. HOWEVER, I just got a brand new iPhone 13 and I know it’s not the 13 pro BUT, it should not be crashing how it does. In the middle of countless boss battles(including the one that just prompted me to write this) the game just completely closes and I have to restart the battle. Pretty painful considering that I was over half way done!! But, I really do enjoy your game, and I would really appreciate some future updates that fix these issues..Version: 1.0.5

Beautiful game but poorly optimizedIt is a really nice game but poorly optimized. Frame drop happens often. And my phone got so hot after a few minutes of gameplay..Version: 1.0.3

Looks amazing, too buggy on mac at presentHalf the time it just goes to a black screen. Has to restart 3 times to be able to click through the Game Center screen. On a Macbook Pro 13" 2017.Version: 1.0.3

Good ideas, low quality experienceI hadn’t checked the game trailers in the app store before playing the game, so when I opened it and was getting 10fps with comical 2007 Nintendo DS graphics, I thought my phone was malfunctioning. Nope, it’s just how the game plays. This looks like MYST from the early 2000s. If my phone can run COD mobile with no problem, I don’t think that a single player open world game would have one either. I mean, this is 240p resolution in 2020. That’s almost two decades after 240p was impressive for mobile games. The developers are claiming that they needed to make the resolution this way to allow it to run on all devices currently supported by iOS, but really this makes no sense. Just add a graphics slider so users can choose their resolution. For an offline game, the frame rate and picture quality is unacceptable. I’m headed back to Sky: Children of Light..Version: 1.0.3

Really great but....The game looks amazing runs very smoothly, really enjoyed it. However, just after a few minutes my phone became incredibly hot. Using an XR.Version: 1.0.5

Stunning, breathtaking, but heats up phone like nuts 🥜It’s a breathtaking game with incredible graphics. That said, my iPhone 11 heats up with a fury. 🥵 If this game were optimized a bit more it’s easily be one of the best games on AA.Version: 1.0.5

NimueThis is a nice looking game. There is some glitchy parts. The stages you have to go through with the bosses is a little over the top. I am not new to playing video games and there are for sure bosses That I have faced that where hard but not to the extent of Nimue. The part where you are in a circular room and have to face a boss with seven heads is ridiculous. You have no room to run at all. The markers to hit to let you run faster has no advantage at all. It just lets you run ahead of it. Once you stop you still have no advantage. Hitting one of the heads when you have the chance still gets you knocked out. I went back and started a new game to see if I missed anything and the funny thing is it seemed boring the second time around so I just stopped playing. If devs want to make the bosses be harder than they should ok I guess. Like I said I have playing games a long time. This one is just ridiculous. And the only response you get from the devs is silence unless you give a good review. I see some of the same reviews about this on here. It’s just no fun as you play through this game. 4 stages to get through bosses is just insane takes the fun out of it..Version: 1.0.5

To the Developer of The Pathless at Giant Squid/Annapurna InteractiveHello...I would like to request your immediate attention to this possible issue with accessibility in The Pathless game. I have to inform you that I am a deaf player. I do enjoy playing games with English subtitles for the deaf. However, I recently installed The Pathless on my Apple iPad Air (3 Gen.) . When I started to play, I went to the options first to enable the English subtitles for the deaf in this game. However, I was unable to locate the subtitles option. So, I decided to start the game to see if the subtitles appeared or not. But, I have to inform you and your developer team at Giant Squid/Annapurna Interactive that I am very disappointed to find out that there are no subtitles for the deaf in this game. I cannot enjoy playing this game if I am unable to understand what the characters in this game are saying through this entire game. So, I have to tell you & your developer team that it is so frustrating for me unable to understand the entire storyline in this game. Therefore, I have to inform you and your company that I do exercise my rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and ADA Amendments Act of 2008. I would like to request that the subtitles for the deaf to be enabled in this game. So, will you and your developer team please comply with my request? I do just want to enjoy playing this game while reading the English subtitles for the deaf. Thanks for your time..Version: 1.0.3

Good game but make my phone burning hotGame is really well made and super cool to play. However, it makes my phone burning hot after 5 mins gameplay. I wish I can play more if they fix this issue. I'm using iPhone 11 pro.Version: 1.0.5

Really Wanted To Play ThisReal dissapointed it is not compatible with any of my devices. This game looks so good..Version: 1.0.3

Platforming is glitchyNot only does the camera vibrate all over the place, the run button is constantly getting in the way and seemingly no way to just remove it, I keep tapping on it when trying to do finicky platforming and it’s infuriating.Version: 1.0.5

ControllerAnother Apple Arcade game that does not support my Nimbus controller. Very frustrating.Version: 1.0.5

With no support for the Apple TV HD, this Apple Arcade title is a non-starterThe Pathless would have to be one of the titles that had me wanting to sign up to Apple Arcade in the first place. To find that it doesn't support my Apple TV HD (which is still sold in stores, so that means it's a current device), is disappointing. Playing on mobile is only an option for those that can. This just makes the game inaccessible, no matter how visually impressive it might be..Version: 1.0.3

Runs badly on my iPhone 12 pro MaxI have a brand new iPhone 12 pro max and after playing this game for about 60seconds it was on fire! Not to mention the frame rate dropped so much it looked like I was playing a flip book. A book I was flipping with my feet mind you. Uninstalled right away. Too much good content to waste time on this..Version: 1.0.3

Repetitive gameplay/crashesThis game has some amazing graphics and the movement is extremely satisfying but if I can’t even play a game for more than 5 minutes without a crash I’m not gonna play it. on top of that the gameplay gets quite stale after not that long so even if I could play for longer I don’t think i would..Version: 1.0.7

CrashesGame constantly crashes towards the final boss it seems like the platforms in which is intended to play on can’t keep up with all the moving parts that it automatically crashes no matter where I play iPhone,iPad Pro and Apple TV I can’t even finish the game because where it ends up crashing there’s no manual save option so I have to rely on it automatically saving when it doesn’t no matter what stage I am in during the fight when it crashes I have to start the Bossfight from the beginning which is very annoying Plus the controller doesn’t seem to register which button I press which is a constant lag please fix.Version: 1.0.5

Looks wonderful. Transforms phone into a grill.Not sure it’s worth the temperature my phone reaches after ten minutes of playing time. Amazing start but there’s definitely work to be done if they ever want people to play without their device being plugged in and liquid cooling..Version: 1.0.5

Not able to playIt’s not letting me go in whenever I try to play it doesn’t let me play it doesn’t say anything or do anything when I press the play button.Version: 1.0.7

Fix iPhone 12 Pro frame rate in gameSteady for the first 2 - 5 minutes but then the frame rate drops and the graphics downgrade the more you play, really well made game and I’d love to play more but please fix this issue and also add an option menu for video settings for iPhone users to adjust it.Version: 1.0.3

Frustrating crashesAnytime you are fighting big bosses, the app crashes and my phone heats up and my battery drains really fast. I have a brand new iPhone 13 pro max. What’s going on? Would be a 5 star game if it didn’t crash. Really frustrating, please fix..Version: 1.0.5

Game is not working. Please fixI can’t start the game..Version: 1.0.5

Impossible to find what you needGame was going great. I just completed the redwood steppe but now I can not find the light stone to add all of the tokens. I’ve spent 3 days collecting all of the tokens and now I’ve spent another 3 days trying to find the final boss fight arena. It is simply impossible to find, game needs a map or some form of tracking system. It has become incredibly frustrating and makes the game pointless..Version: 1.0.5

Would be a great game if it don’t crash half the timeHave an iPhone 13 still crashes every time I play against the boss, optimize your game better if not don’t put it on the App Store.Version: 1.0.7

OakNeed to fix controller support and glitching start up for application.Version: 1.0.5

The FunlessYou start the game and are doing great! You beat the first boss and get some extra lightstones put them in the stone anticipate the reward but get nothing. You look it up and figure out that you need to get a ton more of them. You decide to go to the other areas and then come back to it later. Start getting discouraged by the second boss. After 6 hours and 13 walkthroughs you finally win. The you reach nimue. You spend weeks on it then decide to delete the app and reinstall it again after a year of not thinking about it. When you reinstall it you finally beat it. When you get to the bear you beat it pretty fast and you get sense of great accomplishment. You finally reach the godslayer. You keep trying for weeks to get past the eagle, get the bow and think it’s over. Then you realize you still have to beat the godslayer. After months of trying you beat him only to see a cutscene and the credits. You regain control of your character right in front of the place where you go to fight the godslayer and then you renter the place where you fought him out of your curiosity then find the exact same thing as the last time. You’re completely drained of your happiness and pride. In your sadness you return to the comfort of your creative mode world in Minecraft where the pathless can never hurt you again..Version: 1.0.7

Trop compliquéJe trouve que les boss sont vraiment compliqué à battre. Ça ne finit jamais… je suis sur iPhone et c’est beaucoup trop difficile de contrôler le personnage, de battre un boss compliqué et aussi long à battre. Mais le jeu est vraiment beau et bien fait..Version: 1.0.5

AwfulNo originality, same stupid plot about the darkness taking over and finding the light, so goddam boring.Version: 1.0.7

Annapurna games are all the sameThere’s a mysterious land to explore! Collect power ups to help you jump/fly/glide further! A powerful beast will flash red and slap the power ups out of you, but not kill you! Heal the land by doing things! Floaty music in the background! A forest! Narratively this game is not as good as previous versions. The island forest is supposedly “open” but I kept getting lost and finding the same three places to explore. I do like petting the bird, but that’s not really an impressive enough mechanic to make me finish this. To sum up, actually this game is tedious. But you can stroke a bird..Version: 1.0.3

Boring have to shoot to close makes it boringFind it so boring, character slows when targets not hit and arrows make no sense, either you very close and hit target or arrow goes in non sensible directions as if you did not try hit target or target was not there which makes you slow which makes game boring. Suffers same fate as most Apple Arcade games, long winded and boring if it’s not fun within 1 min why bother when there are thousands of fun within a minute games. To much like a console game, it could be fun and fast paced with arrows flying everywhere as your ninja runs like the flash, just bossing up levels could be so good and fun. Just change shooting so when the target lock appears you can shoot and hit with an arrow, coz now all you do is run pressing shoot which is pointless and boring. Even my kids don’t understand shooting why put lock if you can’t hit it.Version: 1.0.5

Fun App, but not made for iOSGreat fun, but it doesn’t seem to be coded for iOS. An iPhone 12 Pro heats up so much within 5 minutes that the graphics become poor and frame rate is jittery..Version: 1.0.3

Devs...good game, but...Devs, you really made a great game. Believe me when I tell you, I get bored easily. I’m the type of gamer to install a title, play it for maybe a week, and then I uninstall. I actually played this game through. Good storyline, kept me entertained, I loved running through the landscape shooting talismans. It’s almost like I was trying to make the character an aerial acrobatic with new moves and tricks as I was moving, jumping, and flying threw the air. It’s actually very pleasant to try and make her do cool stunts in the air. My few complaints : on many occasions I would accidentally hit auto walk or run. Very frustrating when you’re trying to get precise movements on a phone or tablet. Second, the frame rate drops are horrible. Getting yourself into intense visuals while playing and then having the frame rates drop 30% brings down the visual immersion of the game. Third : I’m running an iPhone 12 and I truly thought this would run flawless on the A14, but I felt like my phone could cook an egg on the glass surface on the back of the phone. No Bueno my friends. But long story short, in the end I hope you ladies and gentlemen make another amazing action adventure title. I would really look forward to it..Version: 1.0.3

WatFair enough, an unsupported device message comes up, as it expected. My device is unsupported so it’s expected. Though I don’t get why it continues and goes onto two dev screens anyway? Like, if the device is unsupported, shouldn't the game just crash out? There shouldn’t even be a permitted download in the first place. :/ I feel like there needs to be a function on the AppStore that was similar to nonAR devices. With the download button greyed out, telling you that your device doesn’t have the right capabilities, etc, etc. Come on. 😔.Version: 1.0.3

I want to like it....I really want to like this game. Unfortunately it is clearly designed for mobile phones and not iPads. The controls need to be moveable by the user as the buttons are out of reach on an iPad Pro. I’ve not ventured too far into the game, but so far I’m not understanding the purpose of having direction and camera control as being two separate functions in the game, and just makes it less enjoyable as you need to coordinate and concentrate on both of these rather than just one. Beautiful looking game, but poor UX implementation.Version: 1.0.5

Nice game…But how come I’m being kicked out of the game when I’m doing a boss fight. Its unfair I have to start from the beginning. It makes the game the opposite of fun. And not to mention the lagging. I have an iphone 13 pro max, and my memory not being used, you’d think this wouldn’t happen at all….Version: 1.0.5

Great Game but crashes ALOTReally enjoy the game play and storyline of the game but man does it crash a lot. Takes a away from the experience.Version: 1.0.5

Waste of timeI played this on a iPad Air 5 M1 chip a gaming beast yet it seemed like I switched to a potato what are you guys hiding under the hood why so laggy.Version: 1.0.7

Awesome game but not compatible wellThe picture and scene are very delicate and I really enjoy the special vibration feedback. But it seems has some problem in compatible with on my iPhone 12 pro max, only running about 20mins, my iPhone has been very hot which lead to the system to terminate the game and wait for the temperature going down. Also, please check the bug in Redwood Steppe, there is one lightstone in a ruin, you need to light all flames in both side of a giant stone stature, but one mirror can not move back once you put it in the end. This the last lightstone I haven’t get (1 of 9), please check. Thanks..Version: 1.0.3

Great game spoilt by glitchesConstant cut outs during boss battles, slow to load graphics and freezing just part of the annoyance at this interesting game. Could be brilliant but let down massively by stupid glitches..Version: 1.0.7

Good game but very glitchyEnjoyable game. Good puzzles. But crashes often. I have tried various fixes but despite beating one of the boss levels it shuts off during the cut scene. Has also lagged and crashed during various times of gameplay. On one level there is a mirror that appears to be stuck making It impossible to finish the puzzle..Version: 1.0.3

Outstanding game, too much lag on iPhone XThis is definitely an amazing title, unfortunately, there are too many cases of very low frame rate on my iPhone X for this game to continue to be enjoyable. Since the game was made with Unreal Engine, I’m confused as to why there are no graphics scalability options in the app. If the app is automatically trying to set graphics settings based on my device, this feature doesn’t seem to be working. Compared to a game like The Witness, which features a large area with many draw calls, they still manage to get perfect frame rate throughout the experience. Though, I think the world of The Pathless is much much larger. Still, it seems like there could be a lot more culling and optimization work in many many areas of the environments, especially ones where you are able to look at large vistas. Looking towards less busy scenes brings the FPS back up. Perhaps the experience is buttery smooth on newer phones, but this game was a big reason for me continuing to try out Apple Arcade. Speaking of the game itself, it is wonderfully designed and has a great big beautiful world to explore. I just wish there were simple graphics options, even as simple as the Sky game options would be nice-actually necessary to make this an overall enjoyable experience for me. The frame drops really kill the immersion and experience when it happens, and it happens far to often by modern standards..Version: 1.0.4

No Controller support on Mac OS, crashes on iOSAfter playing for hours on iOS, wiht constant interruptions from crashes and lag every 3 minutes on an iPhone 13 Pro, I decided to play the game on MacOS to see if the game did not crash so often; only to discover that the game does not recognize my Xbox bluetooth remote. It seems like the game needs some polishing and updating. Last update was over a yeear ago, so a bit disheartened that new players won't get to fully enjoy this gem....Version: 1.0.5

Plays “ok” on my iPhone 7 crashes on my Apple TVI’ve really been looking forward to this game. I’ve played a bit of it on my iPhone 7+ and it’s ok. I’ve just tried it on my Apple TV and I’m presented with a “unsupported device” error page - I’m instructed to check compatibility. According to the App Store this device should play it? It’s not a Apple TV 4K but it’s running TVOS 14(something) so please can you tell me what I’m doing wrong if anything? Oh I’m using a nimbus steel series Bluetooth controller as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated!.Version: 1.0.3

VERY Laggy GameplayI Have a Macbook Pro 15,1 2017 and this game lags so much.Version: 1.0.3

Performance issues on 12 proLooks great but not compatible with the latest iPhone, overheats the phone after 10 or so mins.Version: 1.0.3

The PointlessThis game came with so much hype, so I thought I’d give it a go. Apple Arcade consists of two types of games, about 5% decent games, and about 95% indie-trash. This is definitely the latter. It’s much like they took the outstanding SamuraiJack, removed the excellent visuals, plot, dialogue, and pretty much anything to do, and re-released it. This game consists of wandering aimlessly through a forest with no landmarks, that looks identical in all directions, looking to do something that isn’t defined. You run and run for 20 minutes in any direction only to finally find something, but you are missing some item (good luck figuring out what it is since they only use symbols). Then you wander around for another 20 minutes in another direction only to find something you cannot jump high enough to reach, then if you have any sense, you delete this game and move on to a game that was finished before release..Version: 1.0.3

Please fixThe game keeps crashing on iPhone 13 pro when using Bluetooth controller. I’m using AirPods too. Not sure if it’s related but it renders the game unplayable as it crashes every 2 minutes. Please patch it so we can keep enjoying this great game!.Version: 1.0.5

Gamepad...Pretty slick on my brand new Mac Mini M1 but I can't make it work with either my Logitech Gamepad, or my Nimbus. Stuck using my mouse and keyboard like it's 1995....Version: 1.0.3

Bad portThe game itself is enjoyable enough, if you can get it to run. Unfortunately it is so poorly optimised you’ll be lucky if you can. There are more graphically and environmentally complex titles on iOS, which run just fine, so it seems that this title is just a bad port to the platform..Version: 1.0.3

Spend half your time wondering what to doGame itself looks great but its got no flow. Insanely boring tasks that often just take loads of time to travel and the whole shooting targets to move quick just isn’t smooth ,spend more time stopped. 0 guide to game have just deleted due to no idea what I’m doing..Version: 1.0.5

Un petit détail a régler pour les prochaines foisBon le début est cool, mais quand il viens le temps de sauver les genre de dieu j’ai prouve de criss de difficulté, car la tarnake de caméra n’arrête pas de. Bouger tout le temps dans la mauvais direction et cela me fait ragée le plus au point et je joue ce jeux sur mon iPad et je dis fait un effor pour les prochaines fois parce que criss je ne suis pas capable de sauver Sauro par contre pour le reste tout est merveilleux et remplis de décors éblouissant et le personnage principale est ravissante et. Remplir de mystère..Version: 1.0.5

Crashes repeatedlyFun to play but always crashes at the ‘boss’ levels, i have had to repeatedly play each one as it crashes during or once i have completed them. Never seems to save the progress and so have to do the whole boss level again. Jump control is temperamental and the phone heats up when playing. I’m on an iphone 12 so it should be able to handle the gameplay. So, fun to play but really frustrating to have to repeatedly complete stages hoping it won’t crash/will save progress..Version: 1.0.7

UnplayableI purchased Apple Arcade and I can’t play this game because they haven't rendered it for iPad 6? This iPad is only a couple / few years old! And now what? I have to buy a new one so that I can play new games? This is ridiculous. Consumer culture wasting yet another perfectly working and expensive device..Version: 1.0.3
