There's the "walking simulator" genre for that. I didn't care for the story, but I recently played Dear Esther, it's absolutely stunning on a 4K screen.


Good one. Also Everyone’s Gone to the Rapture by the same producers.

Not walking simulators but low-key “just sorta look around” games I like: Gone Home and What Remains of Edith Finch.

Edit: Corrected the Finch title, thank you!


*What Remains of Edith Finch


Death Stranding is another great example, such a poetic game


Another one with a terrible story that I absolutely loved. I don't know whether Kojima is a genius or a lunatic, but I'm glad I played his game.


The photogrammetry of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is also impressive to just look at.


Was it based on some real place?
