The Path of Motus is ambitious in what it seeks to communicate about the relationship we often share with games, and includes several notable spins on traditional gaming components of the puzzle platforming genre. But its arguments need to be embedded within a more rigorous gameplay structure if they're to truly land.

There are still some problems, as the platforming can feel awkwardly stiff at times and the game isn’t the prettiest of titles, but it’s a resounding triumph in teaching an important lesson. Those that finish Path of Motus will find themselves better for the journey and motivated to follow their dreams. That type of reward far surpasses the amount of fun a game can bring.

The Path of Motus is a competent, sometimes fun indie game with a naive take on the nature of bullying.

This is a great game. It's a lot of fun and surprisingly deep and emotional. The platforming is solid, but it's main purpose is to prop up the story. This game has a powerful message, and the gameplay really puts you in the shoes of the main character and the adversity he's facing. The story is pretty meta, which gives this title a unique feel. The art and music are well above the standards we normally see in indie productions, and the puzzles are challenging but never overbearing. Keyboard controls are a little odd, so I recommend playing with an Xbox controller. This is one of the best indie games I've played in the last few years.

The Path of Motus is a game with heart, but that’s not enough to make it an essential excursion. You’ll find some fun here if you take the trip but be prepared for an uneven and sometimes frustrating journey.

The Path of Motus is pretty to look at and has some good ideas, but it fails in its execution throughout, its story too simplistic for adults, and its gameplay too difficult for children.
