Trails

As a story-driven gamer, Trails got me perplexed. The mechanics and the atmosphere are definitely there. And yet… it feels like there’s a hidden story peeking through the cracks of the game — one I just can’t quite make out. So playing this game feels relaxing, but also leaves behind a slight bittersweet taste, as if I’m missing out on something I can’t grasp. Trails isn’t a game you play all in one sitting. It deserves to be appreciated in small bites. If you’re the kind of gamer who finds relaxation in deep focus and logic puzzles, all wrapped up in a chill, non-overstimulating aesthetic, then this one’s for you

Trails is a relaxing and well-designed experience that will keep puzzle game fans happy for a few hours. While it may not always be smooth sailing, I think it is a cerebral excursion across the dunes worth taking.
