In retrospect, the outrage around Dear Esther and walking simulators seem almost quaint. Later still, games like Firewatch, while technically more of a walking sim, would offer just enough gameplay to avoid the stigma while still providing a relatively linear but nonetheless engaging narrative-driven experience.

What the "game" was and wasn't was never in dispute. At no point did Dear Esther ever falsely advertise its value proposition. I always felt as I do now, that it's a strange critique to give a product. Surprising amounts of anger, and lengthy threads with thousands of users describing the many ways this game in particular isn't a game.
