Tall Trails was my cosy Christmas game for 2025. It’s certainly not a triple-A game, but it’s a fun and quick open-world exploration game in which you have to guide Alp, a little golem, on a quest to find his purpose.

You can (and have to) climb peaks (and sometimes weird/random objects), collect items and unlock different looks, styles and abilities in either a predefined standard world or randomly generated worlds. To collect all achievements, you will need to play multiple worlds.

As said, it’s simple yet fun, and therefore still recommended.
