Chris West from SpawnFirst reviews Gone Home: "In an industry flooded with first-person firefights and zombies, it is always an invigorating breath of fresh air to get the opportunity to play a game from an independent developer. For the most part, indies tend to go against the grain created by AAA developers by providing games that are creative and different. The Fullbright Company’s Gone Home easily stands out amongst both AAA and indie games, but the game feels more like an artistic statement than an actual video game."
Dave writes: "If you’re a fan of walking simulators, then the name probably sticks in the throat, but let’s ‘own it’ and chuck the best and mightiest of the genre into a bear pit and let them have at it! Hoo-rah! As with most genre lists, there’s some controversy about what does or doesn’t constitute a walking simulator. Dialogue and navigation is preferred over puzzles and more intensive interaction like combat or QTEs. Jumping/crouching is positively frowned upon. Strap on your hiking boots and let’s ramble!"
Starting today, Drawful 2, Gone Home, Hob, and Totally Reliable Delivery Service are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until April 9 at 10 AM. Once you claim them, they’re yours to keep.
If you're a fan of the narrative-driven walking simulator genre, then these titles really need to be in your Switch games library.
