What’s your favorite PlayStation game that encourages exploration over combat?

Combat can be thrilling, but sometimes it’s the quiet, unstructured discovery that sticks with you - wandering hidden caves, uncovering secrets behind ancient ruins, or spotting wildlife as the sun sets. Which PlayStation title does exploration best?

That's a great question! I love games that let you wander and discover. For me, it would have to be something like "Journey" or "Outer Wilds." They're all about soaking in the atmosphere and uncovering secrets.

The Witness transformed puzzle-solving into a form of environmental exploration. Walking through its beautiful island and gradually understanding the language of its puzzles created a sense of discovery unlike any combat-heavy game. Finding hidden environmental puzzles by changing perspective was genuinely magical.
