The Eightfold Path is a fairly necessary idea in Buddhism. There’s much more to it, however primarily life is struggling, and to flee struggling, that you must stroll The Eightfold Path. The noble reality that life is struggling can apply to the sport that bears its identify. And the sport, in reality, begins with that reality:

Within the sport the Eightfold Path, you play a monk, and your objective seems to be to meditate at eight statues to undergo the trail. I’m unsure although, as a result of the sport is heavy on the metaphysics, not telling you what precisely you’re presupposed to be doing. You stroll round and stand nonetheless to meditate. You possibly can dash with the X button for a number of seconds till you get drained and want to attend till the sweat in your face disappears(a pleasant graphical contact). At instances you’ll have to keep away from enemies, which is commonly simpler stated than finished, which this video will exhibit:

Does that look enjoyable? Does the Eightfold Path look attention-grabbing? You possibly can’t die, you simply return to a checkpoint elsewhere. There are stone tablets you possibly can learn, that can kinda reveal stuff, however I’m probably not positive what in some situations as they’re metaphysical sayings.

The blurb to the Eightfold Path says this:

To achieve the final word state of pure bliss, it’s essential to navigate by the labyrinth of needs and struggling that obscures true concord.

Nature, a steadfast companion in your journey, will information you. But, the true problem lies in confronting the fears and interior demons that dwell inside you.

I’ll be sincere, the Eightfold Path has an viewers, and I’m not simply speaking about Buddhists. Folks would possibly take pleasure in this “exploration journey.” The blurb above obscures the very fact you’ll be strolling round avoiding ghosts and tigers, perhaps even remedy puzzles. Some folks might like this. I didn’t. However I’m not about to fully trash the sport. The Eightfold Path wasn’t made for me, and that’s completely high quality. The video games will get a Your Mileage Might Range with a six back-end rating.

General: The Eightfold Path is a sport about Buddhism, however that isn’t the issue. It’s the usually unclear sport play that’s the issue.

Verdict: Your Mileage Might Range
