PS5: 10 Games That Show What It Can Do
7. The Pathless
The Pathless was published by Annapurna Interactive, who also published games like The Outer Wilds, developed by Giant Squid who made the mesmerising Abzu, and is composed by Austin Wintory who was the composer for Journey.
The awesome talent of the developer, composer and publisher comes together brilliantly to create a game that feels like it belongs on the PS5.
As a hunter seeking to liberate the spirits of her land from an unknown evil, players will complete puzzles throughout the world and fight ferocious bosses with nothing but their bow and their trusty eagle companion.
Every shot from your bow vibrates subtly through the DualSense controllers and adds a satisfying pop with every direct hit. The improved frame rates also help show off the impressive speed you can get up to in the game while also making combat feel smooth and responsive.
The Pathless is another example of the wonderful talent that can come from indie developers and why more gamers should not let indie games fly under their radar.
Hopefully indie developers will have a bright future on next generation consoles like the PS5 and will continue to give us more great games.
