Games About the Worst Hobby in the World
In this essay, I'll talk about one of the most emotional, immersive, and physically grueling subgenres in gaming...
Games about rock climbing, climbing, and parkour—climbing tall things.
As strange as it may sound, it's these physical simulators of suffering and broken fingers that help us understand the strangest hobby in the world, why we climb mountains, and how it's possible to become friends with a game location that takes 7 hours to complete.
Games in the video: White Knuckle, Peaks of Yore, Cairn, Grow Home, Peak.
