Big Walk is a new co-op puzzle game classic
Find some friends to take walk with in one of the best puzzle games in recent memory.
Big Walk is a cooperative puzzle adventure game designed for up to 12 players, though three to four individuals typically provide the most engaging experience. One of the unique features of this game is its reliance on built-in proximity chat rather than external communication platforms like Discord. This limitation necessitates finding alternative ways to convey complex information during gameplay.
A notable instance occurred when one player flailed their arms to signal they had picked up the incorrect puzzle piece, causing confusion and resulting in the accidental selection of a different piece. Players eventually devised their own non-verbal communication methods, such as using designated numbers or gestures, to effectively collaborate and solve puzzles.
The game's exploration aspect is equally impressive, as players navigate a mysterious island, solving puzzles to collect nubbins, and work together to reach a black orb located behind a wall. The game offers a sense of adventure and suspense, with some sections featuring dark environments, challenging terrain, and limited visibility that can make players feel isolated.
Although the game can be played solo, it is recommended to embark on the adventure with a group of like-minded friends who are prepared to adhere to the game's voice chat restrictions and work together to unravel its mysterious puzzles.
