Big Walk just became Metacritic's highest-rated game of 2026 (so far)
Multiplayer game Big Walk is out today, and it's already the best reviews game of 2026.
Big Walk, a co-op puzzle game developed by House House, has become the highest-rated game of 2026 on Metacritic with a score of 93 from 13 reviews. According to Polygon, this beats other highly-rated games of the year, including Forza Horizon 6 and Mina the Hollower.
The game, described as a first-person co-op puzzle game, involves players working together to solve puzzles on a sprawling island. PC Gamer reported that the puzzles are not extremely difficult to figure out, but the real challenge comes from communication and logistics, as no puzzle can be solved alone.
Players can collect "nubbins" as prizes for completing puzzles, which have an unspecified use. The game supports two to four players, with puzzles scaling up to accommodate the number of players. With its high critical acclaim, Big Walk is emerging as a top contender for best game of the year.
