it's an unfairly maligned genre imo. it's like an interactive novella, the marriage of Liberal and Fine Arts. Nothing wrong with that.

I think the ones I listed are up there in terms of both objective quality / general reputation with gamers and my personal subjective tastes - also OYT himself has recommended a few over the years that are unironically at the top of my backlog if/when I return to gaming (semi-retired from gaming and switched to XO poasting a few years back): The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is one that immediately comes to mind, and hopefully he doesn’t mind sharing a few more

the Amnesia games too, though they aren't pure walking sims and have puzzles and survival mechanics.

180, I don’t mind that at all when it engages your entire being while still being able to feel relaxed after a long day or feeling cozy in bed etc, like playing a real time JRPG in a sense
