Go Your Own PATHWAY
If you regularly check the Epic Games Store for freebies, you might have already grabbed PATHWAY, but the world is a busy place and we sometimes need reminders, so here’s yours. PATHWAY is free on the Epic store until this Thursday the 25th June, so you have a few days still to grab it.
What is PATHWAY? Well, according to its developer, it’s a “world of rip-roaring adventure, occult mysteries and turn-based tactics”. Honestly, they had me at “rip-roaring”. The version you get here is a remastered version of the base game that was released last year, plus the “Adventurers Wanted” update. It features updated AI, abilities, loot and so on. Below are some more details directly from the press release. If it sounds like your thing, head on over to the Epic Games Store and check it out for absolutely zilch!
