Then there are the stealth sequences, which would be quite easy and simple were it not for the enemy's infuriating tendency to walk directly on top of you for no reason. It's a nuisance the first few times, and gradually grows more and more irritating as the game asks you to make increasingly complex shots. "Too close" seems to range from "right up against it" to "anywhere within ten feet or so" depending on the exact puzzle. I often found that if I stood even a little bit too close to the first target, the arrow would careen off into space wildly.
There's no aiming- the arrows just fly on their own -which means you are utterly at the mercy of the game's ability to guess what you wanted, especially when it comes to shooting arrows through multiple targets, such has rings or torches. sometimes the mechanics they rely on just fail.
It's peaceful, meditative, but not without challenge- some of the puzzles can be very tricky, but never to the point where I had to look up a solution or anything. Running around the world, exploring and solving puzzles and such, is great fun. I really enjoyed Abzu, and I'm generally a fan of this style of game, but The Pathless shoots itself in the foot over and over.
