Our Verdict

Pathfinding in Unity is a great course for those looking to understand and implement graph search algorithms in their games. With clear instruction, you will be guided through the creation of four distinct pathfinding methods to choose from when developing your games. While this course may move at a brisk pace for some, overall it provides an excellent starting point for diving into real-time pathfinding implementation.

What We Liked

Excellent for understanding pathfinding theory through practical implementation
In-depth exploration of 4 algorithms: Breadth First, Dijkstra, Greedy Best First & A*
Provides a solid foundation to create custom real-time pathfinding solutions
Clear and concise presentation; helpful for beginners and intermediate developers alike

Potential Drawbacks

Course can be fast-paced, making some concepts hard to grasp without additional research
Does not cover 3D pathfinding applications or Unity's NavMeshAgent in detail
Code examples may contain minor bad habits; requires contextual understanding
