Boring game

There is no gameplay, you just look at the graphics and that's it. No interaction other than press w to move forward. Why would anyone pay $20 for this?

Ethan Carter at least had SOME gameplay elements, this has non. And The Park & Firewatch were just as bad.

Because there are things other than gameplay when it comes to enjoying video games. Obviously it's not for everyone, but no game is for everyone, and nothing is forcing you to buy it.

So don't buy it...why come on a forum of a game that obviously doesn't interest you... are you THAT insecure you need to question other gamers taste in games??

People wonder why the pc/steam community has the reputation of being one of the most toxic, salty and most pathetic of them all.....posts like this show why.

Sounds like you're pretty much describing any "modern" game out there. I personally blame games consoles.

A video game without gameplay is not enjoyable as a game. It makes it an experience, but when you can't even tell a coherent and interesting story then what the hell are buying this for? If you want sweet graphics look at the screenshots, same experience.

Because I already bought it on my PS4 you numbnut.
I played it, you didn't, yet you defend this game.

Listen, we're going to make America great again... it's going to be huge... if developers can't make games great then we'll throw them over the wall, into Mexico, and we'll make them pay for it... it's going to be huge.

I'm not usually into these "walking simulators" (even though that's a terrible name for this genre), and I didn't like their attempt at the amnesia sequel one bit.
But this looks fantastic.
Eery, mysterious and interesting, with an open map to explore and figure out the story as you like. What else could you want in a game that is narrative-driven rather than shooty-bang-bang-driven?

Check out the 4K screenshot gallery on PCGamer, it looks fantastic. And without those awful puzzles of Ethan Carter, it might just be the game that Ethan Carter should have been.

The only thing I noticed in those screenshots, being a 40-something year old englishman, is that the cars don't seem to be licensed. One screen in particular shows what is obviously meant to be an old clapped-out Ford Cortina (or maybe Granada, hard to tell), and another shows a mark 1 Ford Fiesta. Neither seem to be licensed. Game would have felt so much more immersive with actual British cars in it

Opinions stated as facts are as fascinating as they are useless. As if there's no way someone could possibly find this game interesting or enjoyable, because you didn't.
