Big Walk review: 2026’s best multiplayer game tested all of us

Big Walk is a new co-op game developed by House House, the creators of Untitled Goose Game. The game is designed for chill hangouts and features gentle puzzles that require close communication between players. In a test session, a group of colleagues from Polygon explored the game together, aiming to solve its mysteries.

The game takes place on a sprawling island where players must work together to solve puzzles. These puzzles award items referred to as "nubbins" by PC Gamer, which have an unspecified use but allow players to explore deeper into the island. According to PC Gamer, the puzzles themselves are not extremely challenging, but the real difficulty lies in communication and logistics, as no puzzle can be solved alone.

The game supports two to four players, with puzzles scaling up to accommodate the number of players. For example, a two-player puzzle may require both players to hold down buttons simultaneously, while a four-player puzzle will feature four buttons. PC Gamer reported that playing with friends made the experience even more enjoyable, with many laughs and a sense of excitement to continue exploring the island.
