Tag: The Trail - A Frontier Journey »

Throughout the history of mankind, humans have longed to explore unknown shores until we had every corner of the earth mapped. You can still chase that longing for exploration without moving an inch, though, thanks to fine mobile games like The Trail, which is leading the Games section of the App Store at the moment. It's not the first of it's kind, though. In fact, you'll find many great games that answer the call of frontiers untravelled. Here are three of our favorites.

The Trail is a curious little game, with bits of Firewatch, The Oregon Trail, and freemium mechanics blended together to create a surprisingly addictive concoction. It sort of defies definition, which can make it difficult to parse what exactly you're supposed to do, or if you're doing things right at all. It's a neat idea, though, and there are a lot of fun things to do with crafting and character progression in The Trail. We have a few beginner tips to help you settle into the explorer's way of life.
