Skyward Trail

Skyward Trail is the game I reach for when I want to unwind. You glide between floating islands, solve light environmental puzzles, and slowly piece together what happened to the sky world. There's no combat and no timer pressure, just discovery.

It's short, maybe five or six hours, but it never overstays. The controls handle gliding smoothly, and the soundtrack does a lot of quiet heavy lifting.

What we liked

• Relaxing, pressure-free pace
• Smooth gliding controls
• Lovely ambient soundtrack
