Along the way, you will also meet other hikers and discover hidden treasures that will make your virtual hike even more memorable.

ABZU

From hiking atop majestic mountaintops, you might also find peace diving into the deepest parts of the ocean. ABZU takes you on such an adventure as a Diver, who goes into the vibrant depths of the ocean to discover hundreds of unique species and unravel its many mysteries. While danger also awaits in its depths, the game will take you on an underwater journey that soothes you with beauty.

Proteus

PC, PlayStation 3, & PlayStation Vita

Proteus is the game to satisfy one’s wanderlust. The game’s blocky yet charming world lets you explore, immerse, and interact with so many things. While its main objective is just to let you discover its wonderful virtual landscapes and seascapes, the game also holds little surprises that make it more interesting to players.

Untitled Goose Game

PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, & Nintendo Switch

As responsible adults, sometimes we just want to let loose and act like chaotic kids. The Untitled Goose Game helps you redeem that feeling of freedom… but as a goose. In this game, you play a goose that goofs around and creates funny problems in an unsuspecting village setting up pranks, stealing people’s belongings, and honking a lot until you ruin everyone’s day!

Donut County

PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, iOS, & Nintendo Switch

Here’s another video game where you create satisfying and enjoyable chaos. In this physics puzzle game, you are literally just a hole on the ground. You control this hole with the objective of getting everything to fall into its mysterious depths, and with every item you devour, the hole gets larger. While it’s a simplistic and straight-to-the-point game, Donut County offers charming visuals and fun characters that are all delightful as a whole.

Spiritfarer

PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, & Nintendo Switch

A game about death may sound bleak and upsetting, but the management simulator Spiritfarer is far from that. You play as Stella, the ferry master to the deceased. Your objective is to build and expand your boat, and get to know your passenger spirits before you release them into the afterlife. Alongside its management mechanics, the game also offers touching stories that will leave a mark on you after playing.

Firewatch

Firewatch is a narrative mystery game set in the Wyoming wilderness. You play as Henry, a fire lookout based on top of a lone tower in the middle of the woods. With only the voice of your supervisor, Delilah, keeping you company through a handheld radio, your job is to make sure that the forest is safe from fire. To do so, the game requires you to leave the tower and explore the wild environment around you, while making choices that may build or destroy the only relationship you hold onto. With its gorgeous visuals and enthralling story, Firewatch will keep you engaged and soothed with wonder.

GRIS

PC, PlayStation 4, iOS, Android, & Nintendo Switch

This side-scroller offers a serene gaming experience that’s free from danger, frustration, or death.
