It's not really a single single player game, more a set of specific genres: "Ubisoft open world", "Immersive sim" (especially Arkanes), "Bethesda RPG" (Even 76 which ye cna play pretty much solo), "Walking Sim" (a genre I fell in love with this past year)

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

[-] silver@lemmy.brendan.ie 2 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] silver@lemmy.brendan.ie 2 points 1 year ago

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

Firewatch (someone else recommended) and Call of the Sea both look interesting and are on sale. Maybe I'll check those out.

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.
