Why play it

Path of Giants is a serene adventure puzzle game where the player controls three explorers Bern, Matchi and Totch who must help each other to conquer a set of ancient trials in search of a lost treasure. Each level focuses on the main feature of having three characters, and is hinged around the fact that the player will need to use all three of the characters in order to solve the puzzles and progress. The player will be using the boosting mechanic between the characters to help boost each other up and down platforms all while interacting with a variety of environmental moving pieces.

Story and worldbuilding

There were once three kings. Powerful rulers that harnessed the magic of the land. One ruled over the ice, another the forests and a final the deserts. They put their powers together creating the Lantri, and the world fell into perfect harmony. As the king’s powers faded, they left the Lantri under the protection of the giants and sealed it behind trials. Hidden in a frozen tundra, the Path of Giants await any who seek the Lantri. But only with the king’s amulets will the path be revealed. Join three explorers Bern, Matchi and Totch who’s journey has led them to an icy mountain where they believe the Lantri to be hidden.

A beautiful, atmospheric puzzle game that has proven just how nice a mobile port can be. Unfortunately, it’s a lot shorter than I’d have liked; the main story took me around 3 hours and the Winterfest content took a further hour. I’d happily sit and play that game for days, but at more than a pound per hour of play, I thought it a little overpriced. However, add some more levels in there and I’d easily follow Path Of Giants until the end of its days.

Path of Giants is really more of a dwarf – short but still solidly built.

Path of Giants is a great game. And dozen levels are completed in an hour, which is not so much by the standards of the genre. The authors could have added new features and levels to the PC release as a nice bonus, but they decided to focus on direct adaptation and support for the controller. Anyway it is a nice one-night game.
