While there were a few moments of noticeable slow-down and some asset pop-in that genuinely interrupted the flow-blocking potential shots with materializing trees-the game maintains a degree of fun that’s hard to deny. “ The Pathless’ open world is more like a giant jungle gym to bounce around in, and it’s consistently fun.” The visuals get do get a bit clearer in docked mode, though, but the moments of framerate drop are still present, especially in some of the more dynamic areas. As such, playing The Pathless on the Switch is a bit of a mixed bag.įor the most part, the game runs fairly well, maintaining a fairly consistent 30fps and capturing the game’s core gameplay mechanic of moving quickly across an open world, aided by its unique archery mechanic, however at the Switch’s standard 720p in handheld it leaves a bit to be desired. ![]() Unless you’re hiring Panic Button to do the job, games need to make sizable adjustments to work on the hardware.
