Comment on [PSA] Firewatch, one of the best walking sims, is on a -90% sale right now! Only $1.99 is an incredible steal. Runs great on Deck.

I think the label originally was pejorative, but then fans of the genre took it as their own. Personally I like walking sims and I think it’s a hilarious way to describe them, but yes it was originally some neckbeard complaining about how as a genre they’re barely even games

And they are barely even games. Which is awesome. Sometimes I want to play a game, sometimes I want to watch a movie. Sometimes I want to do something in between

  Yes exactly, and this is the beauty of games as a medium.
