“Walking simulators aren’t games”
“Walking simulators aren’t actually games” was a major debate over the years and while it’s become slightly less hefty, there are some who still believe it. Which is funny because SOMA had some good stealth and puzzle elements along with walking; Journey had platforming and walking; and Everybody Goes to the Rapture had a strong mystery component along with walking. If your hands are on the controller/keyboard and mouse, moving a character around, it’s a game.
