The Traveler’s Path Review (PlayStation 5)

by Jim Smale · November 30, 2023

For our The Traveler’s Path Review, we Put our logic and problem-solving skills to the test in The Traveler’s Path, a 3D spin on tile-based positional puzzles. From a bird’s eye view over forests, snowfields, deserts, and more, it’s your job to help the traveler reach his destination by unscrambling the twisted footpath to his destination. Terrain is segmented into rotatable and swappable tiles. Only by thinking critically and a few steps ahead can you line up pieces of the path to lead the traveler from start to finish.

The Traveler’s Path Review Cons:

Cannot skip cutscenes.
No way to rebind controls.
Little replay value.
No online leaderboards.
The controls take some getting used to as it’s very easy to swap tiles instead of rotating.
The piano-heavy soundtrack gets a bit much.
Only have to do 32 levels for the Platinum trophy.
The timer starts when your character moves meaning the timer is pointless as you have no bearing on it.
