    I really dislike the term "walking simulator". It was created as a pejorative and I can't escape that connotation. I also find it pretty reductionist. Dunno what I'd call them in place. Maybe narrative exploration games?

    Anyway, I second the shouts for What Remains of Edith Finch, Gone Home, and Firewatch. I would add The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

    Does Journey count as a walking sim? I'm not sure if it does, but if so, it's the pinnacle for me

      I had completely forgotten that Journey counted. Seconding.
