I had always interpreted the Walking Simulator label as a pejorative and never paid any attention to games described this way. Recently though I got The Invincible because some of the screenshots reminded me of old John Berkey paintings and I’m a total sucker for that kind of stuff, and I just absolutely loved it. I’m looking forward to trying out Firewatch.
Seems like they’re always looking straight out of the screen, just looking dead at you all the time. I hate it when people do that in real life.
We played a game with our Cub Scouts where they would set up a pyramid of red plastic cups in a field and then fly a drone equipped with a release mechanism to drop a ball from as high as they wanted to take it and see how accurate their aim was. Their aim was terrible and hilarious and they ended just running through the cups and throwing them at each other, but loved thinking about where to position the drone and ask about doing it again a lot.
Even a remake of Okami would be great. Skip the weird simulated voices and let me mash buttons through all dialog, not just some of them. And skip the stone wall guardian guys. That should do it.
