Big Walk

« Not since Astro Bot in 2024 have I played a game that has made so much of an impression on me, and the hours I've put into completing Big Walk with a friend have not only provided endless entertainment, but also further solidified that friendship, even if, at times, my co-op partner was left incredibly frustrated by my brainless moments or when I decided to punt a key item off a cliff, purely because I could. »

« I think what Big Walk does that’s so compelling is that it grabs the little part of your brain that is begging to be enriched by curiosity and interaction and massages it ever so gently with your friends as the background. That is not something that you can simply drop people into and hope happens, it is meticulously crafted and planned by expert hands. »

« Big Walk is completely unique and unlike anything you've played before. Between the inventive puzzles and an island begging to be explored it'll become the new group obsession for you and your friends. »

« A funny, exciting, and deeply rewarding multiplayer adventure that combines knockabout fun with some surprisingly big ideas. »

« Forged in the lineage of hiking simulators like Peak, A Short Hike and Baby Steps, Big Walk is a charming, multiplayer expedition about the simple joys of hiking with friends. While there are plenty of quaint puzzles to solve, the crux of the hike is about exploration and discovery- but without the dizzying adrenaline. You may even be inspired to embark on your own real-life hikes, too. »

« I’m truly excited to keep taking my Big Walks – no matter the off-putting name of the friendslop genre, this game is what you make it, and I believe each group that plays will make it their own unique kind of wonderful. »

« Big Walk is a triumph. It's a wonderful exercise in hanging out with your mates and getting those grey cells working at the same time, all wrapped up in a quirky and beautiful environment. It facilitates conversation, slapstick, and having a bit of a sit-down in between things. »

« Big Walk is a wonderful homage to friendship and the great outdoors. It reminded me that the best co-op experiences are about laughing at the journey, communicating in ways you never expected, and making memories with people you adore. »

« Simplesmente o jogo multiplayer do ano, uma experiência inigualável! Juntou a galera é resenha garantida »

« God I LOVE Big Walking. The term "friendslop" has been used to refer to games like R.E.P.O, and Lethal Company. However, this game is a FRIENDGEM!!! I've had so much fun doing the puzzles, and just talking with my friends, and trying to figure out where the HELL we are sometimes! GOTY for me. »

« Big walk is one of the strongest games that was released this year. It has some of the most creative puzzles and level design that I had seem on all games, and also is so interesting how the pacing of the game work »

« What a memorable experience. It's evident the developers were very thoughtful with every aspect of the game's design. It's a simple game in many ways, but this is clearly intentional and it's design choices only help elevate the experience. There are no menus, no health system, no inventory, no leveling, no quest markers, no journal. It is just you, your voice, two hands and the few items you find throughout the world. The game gives so much space to the players to make their own fun through discovery and interaction. With a good group of friends, you will find the game is well balanced, respects your time, and respects your ability to problem-solve on your own without holding your hand. The discoveries and "aha!" moments are worth every dollar spent. I've walked away from this game desperately searching to find another experience like it, but no other developer seems to understand how to make a digital playground to let you and friends have open-ended fun. The only thing stopping me from giving a 10/10 is wishing there was more. We hit end credits after 15 hours, with maybe another 10 hours of content to 100% it. I wish there were more puzzle variety, more items to meddle with, more island to explore. I understand this is a small team, but a way to extend the playtime from 25 to 50+ hours would really make me bow down and say that this is a perfect game. »

« Big walk is genuinely one of my favourite games this year and it’s not even close. The fact that you can go anywhere and the challenging puzzles are so fun. It’s amazing too how there are different items like walkie talkies and binoculars. Your friend could be on one side of the map and you would be able to locate eachother. The best thing about the game is the cross compatibility with different systems. I play on switch while my friend plays on pc. And it was still and fun experience. Overall, this game is not one of those “friendslop” games where you play it for 2 days and drop it. It’s a relaxing but also fun game. I recommend it if you have a bunch a friends, or even 1. »

« This is an amazing game, it is an amazing co op, and even with only three people it is fun, if you haven’t played it, what are you doing, play it now, unless you don’t have friends »

« An absolutely engaging, immersive, and rewarding experience. Probably one of the best gaming experiences of my life. There are a few conditions, though. In my opinion, you need a group of friends. People you like. And you need to follow the game's principle philosophy. So no using outside voice chat, no using discord or WhatsApp or text messages, and no googling. There's something wonderful about letting things happen naturally and then coming together to solve problems. It's as immersive as you let it. I highly recommend it for anyone who is ready to give it a chance with some friends. I do not recommend the Switch 2 version due to immersion breaking and distracting pop-in and performance issues (barring any fixes down the line), but any other version is great! »
