Wintory made video game history in 2013 when Journey was nominated for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media at the Grammy Awards. SOUND QUALITY 10/10 It’s impossible to talk about Giant Squid ’s work without mentioning iconic composer Austin Wintory. You can see Nava’s fingerprints on The Pathless like brush strokes on a canvas, and it’s magnificent to behold. Both are masters in the field of video game design-they bring spirit to environments and characters alike with texture, palette, and lighting. The incorporation of these familiar characteristics into The Pathless further cements my belief that Matt Nava is America’s answer to Japan’s Fumito Ueda, creator of the aforementioned games and founder of gen DESIGN studio. Additionally, they embrace an atmosphere of isolation and use massive stretches of crumbling architecture as a backdrop. All these titles feature a single courageous protagonist in a forbidden or semi-abandoned place, usually accompanied by an animal companion. With its cloud-piercing spires and towering, half-collapsed bridges, The Pathless shares more than one similarity with games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian. GRAPHICS 9.5/10 Colorful and striking, The Pathless has a clean and crisp visual style.
