walking sims (good)
walking sims that i played and liked
22 Games
ok fine a SWIMMING simulator, but gorgeous and engaging
a pointed essay about the nature of history
the og. maybe not for everyone (trope namer: sad dude with a dead wife) but great writing and it changes upon replay revealing some answers and asking more questions, leading to some subtlety which deserves a bit of time.
oookay i would say this is closer to an "adventure" game than a "walking sim" but either way its a wonderful, joyful game about living with others and as part of nature.
pure synthesia . sure, it's aimless, but that makes it a bigger joy to dip in and out of. also: gorgeous. great fun to look at.
a fun sci fi adventure that keeps it short and sweet
a game that in 15 minutes makes you question why you have ever walked down a boring hallway in a game ever
the ACTUAL twin peaks video game
what if the stanley parable was actually funny?
more sandbox-y than a "traditional" walking sim but the mainlined philosophy sessions and silly nature make it worth the look anyway
deserved every bit of praise it got
ok fine you aren't "walking" but you ARE doing xenobiology so let's call it even
a beautiful mediation on art, criticism, and the relationship between viewer and creator. "how to read videogames 101" and "how not to read videogames 201" in one package.
a fun house which unveils a few different storylines and distinct time, place and set of characters. a good head fake towards horror.
absurdist fun even if it's not the deepest thing
vaporwave adventure
ok my literal impression of this game is that this is a disjointed set of anecodotes that never settles on a tone, but it's not BAD, it just didn't land with me, so i reccomend it without exactly connecting with it. it IS inventive.
gonna be honest i dont remember this one but its on "walking simulator" on steam and i have 7 hours logged so
mysterious and weird
i think the impact for me lessened as it went on but when it hits a few of those early notes.... boy.
a platformer, sure, but a low-stakes one with beautiful visuals and no stress
more of a quiet puzzler really, but, look, this is a fake genre, and you aren't the cops, so
