New Game Review – Tacoma (Xbox One) | WayTooManyGames

In space, no one can hear you snore

"In the end, Tacoma turned out to be yet another “art game” in which the developers focused more on the “art” aspect than the “game” one. There is little to do in it, little to explore (besides some easter eggs which actually feature a ton of social commentary), no puzzles, no tension, nothing. It’s a totally misplaced audiobook."

Another boring, overpriced walking sim. This genre is the worst.

you don't even need to walk in order to beat it, you can just stand still

[DaDrunkenJester]

Standing sim?

cure for insomnia sim

As far as walking sims go, What Remains of Edith Finch is easily the best, because it features actual little gameplay segments.

I'd say Stanley Parable. In which, your actions actually influence on the story in multiple ways

The game is getting mostly positive reviews so it's obviously not as bad as this reviewer is saying. Then again I don't mind walking sims (providing they are reasonably priced).

Who are these walking sims for anyways

[DaDrunkenJester]

I honestly don't know haha

For me! :D

Honestly, I do enjoy sprinkling them in between other stuff I play. Because of their structure, they're able to explore the surroundings and characters in a more intimate way (if done right). What Remains of Edith Finch is a recent one that comes to mind that tinkered with the template to create some incredibly powerful moments.
