Walking games in VR

[kration]

I enjoy fell walking and hiking but lockdown has stopped that (walking round my local area has its limits).

A few days ago I was thinking that a 'walking game' like Firewatch would be good in VR but when I investigated it doesn't seem to be VR compatible. Then I saw an article in The Guardian which looks at games like this, albeit mainly from a 2D perspective:

I enjoy exploration in Elite Dangerous, and I've always enjoyed exploring the landscape in Far Cry games (in 2D) without necessarily just running round shooting things.

I would like to find games and other software where you can explore landscapes, cities etc. in VR, not just fly around the universe etc. I'm not too bothered about the 'game' bit (though that's an added bonus) but mainly the ability to explore.

Any suggestions for 'walking games' in VR?

The initial list I've compiled is:

• Lost Ember (not VR yet – but devs have said they will introduce it)
• GTA V (if you can set it up)
• No Man’s Sky (explore planets – unlimited resources mode)
• Skyrim
• Half Life: Alyx
• Google Earth
• National Geographic's Explore

Any other suggestions for VR?

Thanks for the tips - I'll check them all out. I've bought Ark Survival Evolved and there's some other interesting ones that I'll be tracking.

Some more good suggestions there - I'll explore them all.
