So today we're gonna do the unthinkable: We're going to tier and rank ALL of the Immersive Sims. Everything from Ultima Underworld to the Deus Ex series to Deathloop! We'll even look at the more fringe stuff like E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy and Brigand: Oaxaca. Who will be in the A tier? the Ultra DooDoo tier? Who will be ranked number 1 among all the immersive sims? well, there's only one way to find out.

If you're curious about any of these games, I've made videos for just about all of them:

The Rise, Fall, Death, and Rebirth of the Immersive Sim



Come by and say hi! discord.gg/HfZCueX

Immersive sims are some of the best video game out there: System Shock, Bioshock, Thief, Dishonored, and a ton of others like “best PC game of all time” Deus Ex. Immersive sims come from a small family of game developers, most of which stemmed from Origin Systems or Looking Glass/Irrational games under the direction of gaming icons such as Warren Spector, Ken Levine, and Raphael Colontiano. Nearly all subsequent studios can trace their staff back to these studios and creators which is absolutely surreal.

Despite being a category of games that have a penchant for sweeping game awards shows and being nothing less than Iconic (we are still making Deus Ex memes nearly 20 years since it came out, aren’t we?) the immersive sim has had some rough patches and creating them is a long, hard process that can eat studios alive. Just look at what happened to poor Troika Games when they made Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. Most studios that make immersive sims tend to fold on themselves but the devs that make them always get back together to make more great games.

So what will become of Immersive Sims and the future of great games? Well, while the last few years haven’t been kind with the Deus Ex sequel cancelled, the system shock reboot rebooted, and the promising Atomic Heart being locked in turmoil, the future is full of hope. Within the next couple years we’re getting Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, System Shock 3, Bioshock 3 (or is it Bioshock 4? Game series naming conventions can get weird), and whatever the heck Ken Levine has been working on for the last 6 years. The only way for us to know is to stay tune, and play the games.

Here’s a list of all the games that are featured in this video with links to standalone videos I’ve done on them if you’d like to learn more about that game in particular. I’ll be updating this list as I make more videos so be sure to check this list every now and again to see what’s new:

5 Immersive GAMES YOU NEED TO PLAY



Video games are measured by many things. Their visual presentation, the quality of the storytelling, audio, gameplay, and other things. But one aspect that sometimes isn’t given the attention it deserves if not being totally overlooked, is how immersive the game is.

Granted, not every game needs to care about immersion. Nobody plays Tetris so they can feel like an oddly-shaped block. And conversely, VR games have a huge advantage in that department because of... obvious reasons. That said, more story driven gaming experiences, or those that rely on their world-building and captivating nature to provide a fun experience are indeed reliant on how immersive they are.

As such, lots and lots of gamers are looking for games that they can get lost in. So, we think it’s time we take a look at some of those, particularly those that have recently been released, that gamers who value immersion should absolutely play.

You Should Play The Immersive Sim Genre



I've been addicted to play Immersive Sims for the past month and a half which has led me to wanting to make a video on them. At some point I would like to do multi-reviews on Thief and Deus Ex but no promises for if and when that will happen.

The Rise Of The Indie Immersive Sim



The future of the immersive sim looks bright, with indie developers taking the torch and running with it, just like indie developers have done with Metroidvanias the last decade.

In this video, we'll take a quick look at over a dozen indie immersive sims on the horizon, some indie immersive sims that have been released the past half-decade, and why (like immersive sim veteran Harvey Smith predicted a few years ago) there is an explosion in indie-based immersive sims.

First there were boomer shooters...now boomer sims? Boommersive sims?

Peripeteia: The Upcoming Immersive Sim that Oozes Atmosphere



kickstarter.com/projects/shodanon/peripeteia Help Ninth Exodus fund Peripeteia here!
store.steampowered.com/app/1437760/Peripeteia/ Steam Demo
shodanon.itch.io/peripeteia Itch demo

Hey so you know that game that I always show whenever talking about ImSims and whatnot? Well, it's called Peripeteia and it's got a kickstarter going right now!

Peripeteia is a post-sovietpunk immersive sim where you play as Marie, a cybernetically enhanced anime girl living in Poland 2 who's trying to find the secret bunker under the city and live the easy life. Along the way she'll take all sorts of gun-for-hire jobs to pay her rent while she gets to the bottom of the intrigue between the Second Union, the Polish Solidarity Republic, and the mysterious organization that keeps sending her craploads of money to eliminate thier enemies

I wasn't paid to make this. I did it because I like the game and Shodanon et all are good people.

The Greatest Immersive Sim Ever.



patreon.com/CharlatanWonder help vote to choose videos like this one!

So I think it's high time we talk about what is clearly the greatest immersive sim ever. It's been far too long that this gem has gone without receiving the praise it deserves for its open-ended story, emergent gameplay, and how it gives the player the freedom to do whatever they see fit to survive in the ever-changing world presented to them...

That's right, we're talking about HARD TIME!!! The prison simulation video game by the illustrious MDickie, creator of smash hit indie games such as Wrestling Mpire and YOU! The testament.
Our man's even made it onto the Nintendo e-shop after all these years! check him out! nintendo.com/games/detail/wrestling-empire-switch/

Happy April fools everyone.

Immersive Sims: a Comprehensive List Pt 1



A series of videos that discusses in brief each game designed with the immersive sim design philosophy in mind. This list is compiled from my personal opinion on what games qualify as immersive sims but is heavily influenced by a list curated by giant bomb where they group immersive sims. I give my brief overview and opinion of each game and discuss the significance of each. You can find the list here, though it will not be a 1:1 of my inclusions. Enjoy and let me know in the comments your thoughts, opinions, or anything I may have missed.

If you wanna check out the list by giant bomb yourself you can see it here:

In the previous video I did on the future of the immersive sim and how the indies are carrying the torch, I received a number of recommendations in the comments or on Twitter about immersive sims that I missed, whether released in the past few years, or upcoming releases.

Long live the boomersive sim. I'm wondering if that will take off like boomer shooters as far as naming goes?

The Architect loves immersive sims, not only are they fantastic games, they've got a fascinating story behind them as well as a rich design tradition.

However, immersive sims are notorious for selling poorly and being easy to mess up? Could the immersive sim itself be holding designers back?

Why Dishonored Is An Immersive Sim Classic



This is a Dishonored review on why it's so great and replayable, and looking at why it sold so well, as immersive sims tend to not be huge sellers.

Dishonored launched in late 2012 to critical acclaim by fans and critics, and sold far above expectations. This was a AAA-based game on a new IP late in a generation, which companies like EA or Ubisoft say don't sell well (an excuse). Yet, Dishonored broke through that Immersive Sim sales curse and went on to do very well. Too bad Dishonored 2, also a fantastic game, didn't sell quite so well.

This Dishonored review, analysis, retrospective, and critique looks at why the game works, where it falls short, and why it sold so well.

Enjoyed this Dishonored review? I have other immersive sim games on my channel!

Definitive proof that Cyberpunk 2077 is ABSOLUTELY NOT an Immersive Sim #cyberpunk2077



patreon.com/CharlatanWonder
Hey guys, this obviously isn't my main video for cyberpunk 2077 or even a video I intended on making but but as you know I'm very much team "Cyberpunk 2077 isn't an immersive sim, it's just pretending to be one" WHELP, I've done it: I've found hard proof that cyberpunk 2077 is ABSOLUTELY NOT an Immersive Sim in any way whatsoever. This clip perfectly demonstrates how you're only allowed to think outside the box when CDPR wants you too and only in ways they intended and they will straight up break their own game and softlock you before you're allowed to do something that they didn't think of.

By the way I went around this entire building looking for alternate entrances and found nothing. All the doors were locked, unable to be skill checked, and some of the doors out back didn't even have any sort of prompts on them period as if it wasn't even possible to interact with them at all.

I was gonna post this on twitter, but for some reason Adobe Premiere's Twitter encode settings are completely incompatible with desktop Twitter
