It's interesting that the term "walking simulator" as come to refer to most games that aren't action games. Normally I'd consider Outer Wilds an adventure or puzzle game.

I do find it hard to call this game a walking simulator. I've played those, you walk, sometimes read, occasionally hit a button prompt... Outer wilds… you could almost call it a platformer. You have a jetpack, gravity mechanics, space flight is a bit far from walking. It's a mystery, a puzzle, there are hazards to evade, gauntlets to make your way through without dying. Personal skills to hone and improve as you go. A game with these things, surely cannot be considered akin to a walking simulator. Or I would think

I have been playing games for over 30 years and this game has one of the best endings I have ever seen.

About the graphics- while it might be a bit lowpoly, the lighting and scale of things made me stop and admire the scenery more than than with most AAA games.

There needs to be more games like this one

[Vinzaf]

I don't know if I'd call it a walking simulator; walking simulator is usually used to describe games that have no failstate and are focused almost exclusively on a narrative and-or visual experience.

Honestly what impresses me about Outer Wilds is how it takes on a open world genre in a way unseen before. There is no main quest or side quest and no direct line to follow other than the line you create for yourself. The game was built for you to make your own stories out of the events that would happen and theorize about what happened to the solar system hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Beautiful game and an absolute hidden gem!

ah yes. the sand cavern related audio design. yes. i will always remember THAT sound. in my nightmares.

Also: i understand the term walking simulator is the closest you personally had at the time to describe this experience, but honestly it just does not fit except by superficial note. Not sure if you've found a better term for it yet, but i would personally call it a non-linear exploration game, or better yet a game. In fact, it's the best detective game I've ever played with the sole exception of Return of the Obra Dinn, which i feel bears striking resemblance in certain subtle aspects of presentation and experience. Leaning more on sound design and solid, character driven writing than on next gen graphics or a "satisfying mechanical gameplay loop" per se. Given even the freaking steam page spoils it, it is okay to say it is a groundhog day-esque experience.

Outer Wilds is to walking simulators what a tricycle is to the Saturn V.

I gave up on it after 5.6 hours, disliked the gameplay mechanics and couldn't immerse into the world. Extremely disappointed it didn't click for me.
