Forgotten Fields enters the fray as another one of these experiences looking to be relatable and be emotionally driven through the eyes of an author trying to find his footing in life, and really pushes the agenda of wanting to be slow and cozy, and while there are neat ideas put into place of a rather somber experience, the emphasis on its slow nature tends to hinder the pacing to the point where the coziness of it becomes exhausting and puts me to sleep rather than illicit any sort of fun or interest into the events that unfold.įorgotten Fields has a lot about what I like about art pieces in any medium that delve into the matter of life, how we live and perceive it, and the ups and downs that come along with it. From choose your own adventure games to the walking sims that are equal parts profound, fun, and memorable, games like Firewatch, Gone Home, State of Mind, What Remains of Edith Finch, Virginia, Event and more all bring their own unique narrative while having very little in the way of any sort of death mechanic, leaving players to freely explore and play at their own leisure and typically involving some sort of captivating premise that tends to latch onto you, with proper pacing and length that, next thing you know, you've beaten the game in one sitting. The beauty of walking simulators is that they can come in all sorts of shapes and forms, and even disguise themselves as other games and even vice-versa depending on how the material is marketed and presented.
