"Walking Simulators": Puzzle/Exploration games

All generic line-drawing is corrupt and irresponsible so yeah who knows, it’s a family resemblance

yes Obra Dinn is far too head taxing to be counted as a nice numb walking sim for me. It's a good game though, my first play through I flew through and failed at everything, I should retry really

I searched for walking simulator on steam and this made me lol

Amazed no one has mentioned 'The Witness' yet! It's great.

I watched someone stream firewatch and it seemed pretty good as far as these things go (not a huge fan of the genre)

the witness is an incredible puzzle game but i wouldn't put it anywhere near the walking simulator genre.

bumping, i'm sort of feeling the walking simulator thing lately. i love exploring environments without a lot of time pressure or involved cut scenes; immersive environments, tchotchkes to find without stupid logic puzzles to solve first, playing around and experimenting with things. i really enjoyed breath of the wild - not a lot of plot or voice acting (the voice acting there was, i thought was atrocious) or hand-holding. games like that?

A Short Hike is a small & simple & pleasant one

also Eastshade as i mentioned upthread is kinda like an elder scrolls game with the combat and rpg system removed if that appeals

yeah, of the ones i browsed eastshade, a short hike, scanner sombre looked nicest

think i'd have to play eastshade on the wife's computer, though, she's got a much more swank machine than i do

yeah it ran kinda choppy on my pretty good machine but they might have optimized it more since release

i picked up A Short Hike on the Epic giveaway and it's nice and runs fine. not as immersive as a bigger title but pleasantly aggro free so far
