I don’t normally enjoy many walking sims, but something about the pacing and delivery of Firewatch nailed it for me. Didn’t overstay its welcome and kept me interested enough in the story that I think I did the whole game in one or two sittings.
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.
Walking sim is a genre? Are there more than just Death Stranding?
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.
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.

This is one I have on my to play list.
(Though I am currently occupied with modded fallout 4)
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?

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