I just want a walking simulator that's just beautiful environments, with no real objective, just walking around in the picturesque beautiful scenery that's preferably photorealistic or close to it. No games like that, sadly.
So true - exactly what I'm looking for as well. I'd love to play Firewatch with much less story and just watch the sunset/rise and wander hither and thither
Exactly, sometimes I find myself opening some open world games just to roam around... RDR2, Death Stranding, heck even GTA 4 and 5, Kingdom Come Deliverance, etc. And as you, I'm looking for a game to mindlessly roam around with no objectives whatsoever, but that also has a living world, be it out there in the wild (like RDR2) or maybe even inside a city
@@kelbinhow I tried playing Eastshade which has beautiful music, but in order to explore the "open world," you need to perform tasks as a painter mechanic and I kind of ran out of "canvases" so I can get some money to pay a toll, so I ended up getting feathers. And you cannot explore during the night without warm clothes. I just feel that Eastshade is not completely an open world game at all. The world feels more like a "closed world" until I complete a couple of quests. I don't care about open world games being rewarding; I just want to explore. Oh, well... I just have to give up on the open world walking simulators.
Ah my favorite genre! 😊 Here a little bit more with small puzzles and some good storylines… - Maquette - Last Days of Lazarus - The Town of Light - State of Mind - The Park - Close to the Sun - Road 96 - The Suicide of Rachel Foster - Discolored - In the Rays of light - Virginia - Draugen - Nevermind Enjoy!
Medieval Dynasty is clearly a walking simulator especially if you remove the survival elements in the settings, although you go on to build and manage villages later on.
Oh yeah, "I beat you on accident, please make dinner" :) But I ditched that eastern European character and style long long time ago, I got too much associations with russians because of it.
Paradise Lost would fit the list as well. Recently finished it and found it quite moving and atmospheric. A bit buggy but nothing that will stop you from finishing it. Thnx for the list, some of these I didn't know about yet, going on the wishlist.
Yeah, you are right, I could have squeezed it in, but it's one of the few I couldn't finish. Child's perspective wasn't immersing for me (it's funny because my brain prefers to play as a fox rather than a child lol), although it was really beautiful.
Other walking sims I recommend (some has puzzle elements): • Botany Manor • The Station • The Inheritance of Crimson Manor • Backfirewall_ • Deliver Us the Moon • Paradise Killer • The Gap • The Invisible Hours • Devotion • Mundaun • The Forgotten City • The Painscreek Killings
ok...my view. Journey is an epic "must play" title. Flower, surprisingly good and a very sweet feel to it. Firewatch, quite moving and it poses a lovely question at the end. Its beautiful art style is a plus too. Everyone/Rapture, a bit of a grind for me - dull dialogue but technically a good game. Abzu - not as good as Journey, but only because I played Journey first - it's basically the same game. Dear Esther made me cry - but I was drunk and it was 3 am. The Stanley Parable a real blast - will absolutely make you laugh and when you arrive at the 2 doors for the first time and the narrator says "Stanley takes the door on the left" it will sit you up in your chair. Eastshade was very pretty but it never really engaged me and the only one here I didn't finish.
Well, Dear Esther certainly is, probably Ethan and Finch as well - but Journey is uplifting. So is Abzu and Flower is just gorgeous. Rapture is a bit of a drag but Firewatch is one of my top 10 games ever but I was going through a personal crisis at the time, so I'm bias.
I get the complain about not being to run in Everybody's gone to the rapture but I play this type of game to enjoy immerse my self in those worlds. so I don't mind walking and look at everything. running naturally make me just gloss over and not really take everything in.
Dayz is a great one if you like survival. For such a brutal game sometimes, half your time will be spent hiking through the czech countryside, with no ingame map, so you'll have to navigate yourself. It's good fun.
if you only play the beginning of Alien: Isolation, then that counts, at least what i did. quit when i combat arrived. maybe the invincible also counts. then you got space engine, you have no legs but also nothing but exploring to do :)
don't assume that people who use "difficult words" had to google them and are actively trying to sound smart, some people have a larger vocabulary than the average person
The only right place for fancy words is in the journal like "Scientific American" :) I read it all the time, but if someone starts using them casually... then my olfaction detects feces of bos taurus. Nobody with at least some IQ points speaks like that in real world.
Infra and Kona worth adding and Submerged is a sort of boat/climbing simulator with no death, no horror. I loved Firewatch and Edith Finch and can't recall much about Ethan Carter, I found it forgettable.
I love walking simulators, they help me walk better
🤣

Yeah! And I feel like not having a story attached and needing to progress through a story makes such a game more replayable
You are not the only one.

Suicide of Rachel Foster is excellent!!! 👍🏼😊
Also "In Other Waters" even though it's a bit more on the side of a text adventure.
Same :)
Wow thank you for this list! Looked up all games, and I like the look of most of them!
I love road 96 one of my favourite walking sims with road 96
Medieval Dynasty is clearly a walking simulator especially if you remove the survival elements in the settings, although you go on to build and manage villages later on.
Your version of Dear Esther, Dear Olga is still one of the funniest videos I've seen on yt.
Oh yeah, "I beat you on accident, please make dinner" :) But I ditched that eastern European character and style long long time ago, I got too much associations with russians because of it.
Finished Eastshade today. Such a hidden gem!
Paradise Lost would fit the list as well. Recently finished it and found it quite moving and atmospheric. A bit buggy but nothing that will stop you from finishing it. Thnx for the list, some of these I didn't know about yet, going on the wishlist.

WOWWWW… I just added almost all of these to my PS4 wish list as I watched this, good gracious. Thank you!!! 🙏
Amazing video - thank you! I hadn't heard of most of these titles and now I'm excited to dive in.
Other walking sims I recommend (some has puzzle elements):
• Botany Manor
• The Station
• The Inheritance of Crimson Manor
• Backfirewall_
• Deliver Us the Moon
• Paradise Killer
• The Gap
• The Invisible Hours
• Devotion
• Mundaun
• The Forgotten City
• The Painscreek Killings
I love them. Sunday morning, real early. Winter is better. :)
Enjoyed the video. Thanks! Ps, there is a run button in Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Hold down R2 for a few seconds and you'll start to run.
Maybe they updated it xD

Interesting that most of the walking simulators are grim like taking a walk on a cemetery
Well, Dear Esther certainly is, probably Ethan and Finch as well - but Journey is uplifting. So is Abzu and Flower is just gorgeous. Rapture is a bit of a drag but Firewatch is one of my top 10 games ever but I was going through a personal crisis at the time, so I'm bias.
Unfinished Swan and Tacoma seem to be my "cup of potato salad"...is that a thing? LOL. Thanks for heads up.
I have played The Companion. It's quite good.
amazing collection!
I see ColdBeer, I like. Nice video as always mate.
Tacoma is a very underrated hidden gem, great story and ending too.
I get the complain about not being to run in Everybody's gone to the rapture but I play this type of game to enjoy immerse my self in those worlds. so I don't mind walking and look at everything. running naturally make me just gloss over and not really take everything in.
Slow walking is made perfectly fine in other games, like Dear Esther, but in Rapture... it is infuriating. It makes no sense.
Dayz is a great one if you like survival. For such a brutal game sometimes, half your time will be spent hiking through the czech countryside, with no ingame map, so you'll have to navigate yourself. It's good fun.
What about gone home? What remains of Edith Finch should have been 2nd place.
Games here are not ranked
Lost Ember! It's the best ever bro! ^^
if you only play the beginning of Alien: Isolation, then that counts, at least what i did. quit when i combat arrived.
maybe the invincible also counts.
then you got space engine, you have no legs but also nothing but exploring to do :)
I loved Trolljegeren!

Interesting category of games.
Expected Death Stranding for the memes. 😂
I made similar list 4 years ago and yeah... comments were all about it :) But it's too overused by now
@@ColdBeer I just completed the story so im a little late to the party 🥲
INFRA is a hallway walking simulator :p
Give it another hour or two and you will change your mind :)
