« Cute atmosphere and fun mechanics, but ultimately shallow and a bit repetitive. »👎 anonymous review · 3 h played« Tall Trails is cute but lacks any substance. Which is quite egregious given the asking price. »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« j'avais joué à la démo et trouvé le jeu très agréable, le gameplay fluide, je suis ravis d'avoir pris le jeu et il y a même plus de contenu, plus d’Îles à visiter que se que j'imaginais. merci pour ce jeu, tres fun »👍 anonymous review · 10 h played« I bought this game to play while on vacation, and I do not regret it!
