I’m trying to find games that are similar to Firewatch and Road 96, especially because I love their art styles. What genre do these games fall into?

When it comes to the art style, games like Outer Wilds and Life is Strange fit the bill. Those games share a similar visual vibe, and they have deep narratives. Just keep in mind that art style doesn’t always dictate gameplay, as you can have pretty different experiences even among visually similar games.
For what it’s worth, the term ‘walking simulator’ has been thrown around for games like Firewatch quite often. They focus more on the story and exploration, which is pretty awesome. Just dive into that genre; you might find some hidden gems!
Thanks! That helps a lot in narrowing it down.
These types of games are often called ‘walking simulators’. It might have a bit of a negative vibe, but it’s generally about exploring and telling a story rather than relying on tough mechanics. If you’re looking for games like that, definitely check out the ‘walking simulator’ tag on Steam – it’s a great start!
Yeah, I’ve seen that tag too! It’s cool to see games that focus on narrative.
For sure! That’s what I’m looking for – a focus on storytelling.
Firewatch uses a technique called ‘Cel Shading’. It’s popular in some games like Borderlands and Telltale games. But if you’re just looking for games with a similar look and feel to Firewatch, Outer Wilds is definitely a great recommendation! It’s often regarded as one of the best too.
Totally! There are so many styles out there, which makes it tricky.
