Walking sim is a genre? Are there more than just Death Stranding?

[โ€“] silver@lemmy.brendan.ie 2 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Walking sim is basically any game where you wanter around observing the world with minimal interaction, not just a game with a lot of walking.

  • SOMA (Has option to make it a walking sim)
  • Sunlight (really beautiful)
  • Call of the Sea (great soundtrack)
  • Deliver us Moon/Mars (Scifi really good)
  • Red Matter (VR)
  • Accounting (+) (VR)
  • Stray (Kinda, very very low combat)
  • Tacoma
  • Observation
  • A gliders Journey
  • Stanley Parable
  • A Short Hike (Beautiful pixel art style one)
  • Forgotten City (Small levels of combat)
  • Paradise Lost

Some foplks may not classify all these as walking sims but I would.

Interesting, I think I've only even heard of one of those games. Which would you recommend to check out to get the best "walking sim" experience?

Stanely Parable is a great game. It has great replayability baked in finding all the endings and little things, with really solid and humorous writing.

If you're looking to just relax, have a laugh, and have fun trying to break a narrative, genuinely recommend it.
