Walking. It is in a lot of games, and on its own, it is kind of boring. However, plenty of games that use it are still enjoyable. From Death Stranding to various Naughty Dog games to anything in the walking-sim genre, people don't get bored out of their mind while playing them, so how is that? In this video, I explore some of the things that distract players while they walk, and discuss what works well, what could work better, and if any of this even matters.
