“Intense, grungy, and a slam dunk of a spooky experience. SOotH has plenty of Imsim elements that let you get pretty creative with how you dodge that big dude who kidnapped you.”

“The amount of player freedom and emergent gameplay on display here makes what's already a great game in one of the best horror series in modern gaming an ImSim powerhouse.”

“Very much in the vein of stack boxes, find codes. Ad Infernum is a fun little immersive sim that uses modern horror elements to create a fun, fast game with tons of replayability.”

“Shadows of Doubt has more emergent gameplay in a single city block than most games these days. You're given skillset and the cases you solve make very much an immersive sim.”

“Not just a progenitor of the immersive sim, but a through-and-through classic. The controls are intimidating at first but You'll be more than fine by the end of the first level.”

“Not really an Immersive Sim in the strictest of senses, but has enough player freedom and sneakies to where you won't mind that you can't stack boxes.”

“This is kinda what Invisible War was to the Original Deus Ex for System Shock 2. Heavily streamlined but what we love about the game is still there. Oh, except for the part where this one got HUGE!”

“Not an Immersive Sim in the strictest of terms, but grandfathered in thanks to the incredible amount of player freedom and kitchen sink design. You WILL need the fanpatch to play it though.”

“A sophomore slump for the Deus Ex series, but still an Immersive Sim even if the ImSim elements are heavily streamlined. Runs a little janky on modern machines.”

“A classic. A source for many game mechanics we take for granted today and one of the original Immersive Sims.”
