    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.

      Also Firewatch. I wish I could go back and play that game for the first time.

      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?

        If ye want something short then A Short Hike (heh) If ye want horror try SOMA
        Scifi/Detective then Tacoma is pretty good.
        Eldrich Undercurrents - Call of the Sea
        If Atomic Heart vibed with ye then Paradise Lost.

        I would recommend giving a check on steam to see if any of them catch yer fancy

        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.
