I loved Firewatch. Any recommendations for something similar? Haven't tried Spiritfarer, but the others on that list don't seem similar.

- kaczordon 5y agoJourney is pretty amazing.
- rspeele 5y agoThe Vanishing of Ethan Carter felt similar to me.
- mikelward 5y agoThanks! I'll check that out.
- dharmab 5y agoThe genre is called a "walking simulator" (not the best name but the one that stuck). Try: Return of the Obra Dinn, Gone Home, Dear Esther, The Stanley Parable, SOMA (with peaceful mode enabled). I've heard good things about What Remains of Edith Finch, That Dragon Cancer and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture but have not played them.
- scollet 5y agoI'd steer from Dear Esther as it's all style, but it is a short playthrough, so maybe get the source version before buying.
- mikelward 5y agoThanks! That Dragon Cancer and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture seem very interesting.
- mcphage 5y agoIt’s an older title, but my favorite of that genre is called Proteus. I’d love it if they ported it to the switch.
- truxten 5y agoAdding on to another comment, What Remains of Edith Finch is well worth a play
- aequitas 5y agoI can recommend A Short Hike, it's a fun little game with great atmosphere, exploring, some puzzles and a little depth.
- mikelward 5y agoSounds fun! Thanks!
- 0xFACEFEED 5y agoHmm... it depends on what exactly you liked about Firewatch. I personally classify Firewatch as a game with great production quality and no pressure so I can take my time. It's the kind of game I can relax/unwind to. The titles below were exceptional in this regard - you can't go wrong with any of them IMO. Life is Strange The Stanley Parable Subnautica Portal Astroneer
- mcphage 5y agoSpiritfarer is pretty wonderful. You play a psychopomp, helping spirits in the afterlife to move on. But in the process, you ferry them around in a boat that you slowly expand, with all sorts of crafting mini games. The stories of the spirits you meet are mostly melancholy, but very moving, as they try to make sense of their lives and mistakes. I loved it.
