Our take on Hiking Simulator 2018
Rather than centering its adventure on combat, puzzles, or resource systems, the game makes walking through a snowy wilderness its main activity. Wildlife, secrets, navigation, and possible northern-lights sightings provide the variation within that deliberately narrow structure.
