So this isn’t a definitive ‘top 10’ but it is a top 10, of sorts. Rik: We’ve by no means played all walking sims, but we’ve played 10, including some of the most well-known ones. Well, not ‘officially’, but all in one place.

Also, I think as we went on, we couldn’t help but draw comparisons, so it makes sense to do it officially. Jo: Yeah, just to summarise things, and talk about what we learned! And I suppose, this way, if someone fancies giving one of these games a go, then this list can act as a guide without anything being spoiled. And while our previous spoiler-tastic discussions have included our opinions of each title, it might be nice to do a rundown without discussing plot specifics.

Rik: Ok, so I guess having spent most of this series talking about such games, we decided that we might do a bit of a roundup. I guess all that matters is that the people who play and enjoy these types of games understand there’s a lot more to them than the term suggests. Jo: I recently heard we’re reclaiming it? I still don’t like it, but I suppose it’s the easiest way to refer to the genre. Rik: So I guess this is effectively ‘Discussion: Walking Sims (no spoilers!)’ Unless you can think of a preferable term for walking simulators, which I know you don’t like, as a phrase. Anyway, I’ll take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas – hope you have a good one.Īnd now, since there’s no need to brace yourself for a spoiler warning, you can just go straight ahead and enjoy the discussion below. This is likely to be the last post we’ll make before the 25th, although we might be back again before New Year. Yes, we’re doing rankings! Because video games must always be ranked and/or scored, from now until the end of time.

And in case you thought the absence of scores in this series was a sign of FFG embracing a more mature attitude with regard to the evaluation of computer and video game entertainment, let us now disappoint you with the revelation that this is a listicle. This piece comes without spoilers (unless you click on the links to the original discussions, of course). That wasn’t necessarily always the intention, although after a certain point the prospect of catching up with a selection of significant games within the genre all at once started to appeal, particularly as we were both enjoying the exercise, and it made sense to be able to compare and contrast as we went along.īut we’re probably now at the point where we might broaden things out a little more, and so thought it might be worth having a little re-cap of our thoughts on the games we’ve covered. As you may have noticed, the majority of games under consideration in our discussion series (with spoilers) have been so-called ‘walking simulators’, the arguably pejorative and dismissive term coined for first-person narrative adventures.
