Episode 40: Walking Sims

On this episode we hand-select a few prominent examples of the "Walking Sim" genre, and discuss how although the name of this genre was originally meant as a bit of an insult, it has long become one of the best methods for games to tell smaller scale, more intimate stories. So, yes, while our selected games may mostly consist of just kind of pottering about, they are also our selections for some of the best character-driven narratives ever committed to gaming.

Welcome to Hey! Look! Listen! Please join Kev O’ Carroll, Jonathan Morrissey, Owen O'Riordan and Liam Sheahan for a lovely quaint Irish take on video games! Tune in every second Wednesday for a new episode!
