Is this a walking simulator like people put it out to be?

[⚡Nash]

lots of people say this game has no gameplay and the majority of it is walking? but is the story good?

It's been out on ps4 for a long time. You are welcome to look a various reviews or let's plays to make your decision.

wait for 50% off, 19.99 is a joke

It is absolutely a 'walking simulator', and a very good one. The value of the game rests entirely on your engagement with the experience and the story and the characters. If you're looking for a game to have an effect on you - to make you think things, to feel things, then Rapture is excellent; the whole game (but particularly the soundtrack) will stay with you long after you've finished actively playing it.

If you're looking for a game you can have an effect on - you want something to 'beat' - then this probably wouldn't be the best choice.

It really isn't. Life is Strange puts you in the shoes of an actual character and her relationship with other people. Everybody's Gone is the very definition of a walking simulator where you just... walk to places and watch "recordings" of things that have already happened.

It would be like if in Life is Strange you just controlled a nameless cameraman walking around the various locations of the game seeing recordings of the decisions that Max alraedy made ages ago. And then the game starts expecting an emotional reaction on your part.

Lol, this game is even worth 50 bucks in my opinion!
Freaking great soundtrack and a awesome story. I would buy this game ten time more than that stupid game you call Rocket League! Wait, how much you pay for that crappy game?

Oh yeah, and Assassins crappy creed.

After playing the pretentious "Machine For Pigs" I swore blind I wouldn't revisit any future Chinese Room game. Having a shot of this on Playstation affirmed it. I applaud the visuals of Rapture, but I always get this impression that their story telling really isn't as deep or meaningful or poignant as they think it is in their games. Hence the word "pretentious".

But hey, some people like it. Some people only have 3-5 hours of free time to play games in a week and just want to relax to a visual and (somewhat) interactive story. That's cool.

It's just not for me. But neither's FIFA and look at the popularity of that.

Layers of Fears sucked balls. Game wasn't scary at all and the story is way way way worse that this game. Have you even played this game?

This game gets great reviews all over the place on PS4.
