Proteus does not really fit into any of the usual categories of games that we know. In Proteus have to explore an island pixelated color, there are no enemies and can not die at all. Through a first person perspective, shows us a world that despite the almost hypnotic 8bits design has a lot of impressionist art.
There is nothing to collect, obstacles to jump or any team to beat. Furthermore there is no purpose besides exploring the island which activates the brilliant soundtrack, which is for all purposes the best aspect of the game. Proteus is probably the most relaxing game I've ever played, there is no danger or stress.
Limited Run Games has announced that Proteus will get a physical PS Vita release on January 18, 2019.
Because you deserve an upgrade.
Aaron at IGCritic writes "A somewhat little known and underappreciated first-person walking simulator, Ether One is a video game which places you in the mind of a dying patient as an “explorer” travelling through their memories whilst searching for the source of the problem."
PT is still my sentimental fave. To think it was just a proof of concept demo. Why'd I delete it
Proteus was too boring for me to handle. I did platinum Rapture though. Soma I will definitely try if it's free on PS+ one day. Read good things. Last I checked it was still a bit expensive though. Same thing kept me away from Gone Home 'til it was free on Plus. $19.99's a bit steep for walking simulators imo.
I'm surprised Everyones gone to the Rapture wasnt here.
Edit: wait, it is there
Why not call it exploration simulators, walking simulator sounds like a jab at something that's boring and uninteresting, stealth games= crawling simulators ?
