Big Walk

"We're not really sure what Big Walk's future looks like," say the waddling co-op puzzler's devs, though it probably doesn’t involve DLC

I’ve spent something like seven hours in funny-thinky cooperative puzzler Big Walk, and the concept of more Big Walk is something that confounds and, just a little bit, frightens me. What, you spent an entire evening stubbing toes in the dark and overconfidently barking incorrect solutions at friends, only for the opening of the map room to reveal the humbling significance of your progress thus far, and you want more? Friend, if I play this until my forties, I might make it halfway through. Even

Big Walk's voice chat volume issue has been resolved with its latest patch, but House House are sticking to their guns on its overall design

We've all been there. You're out on a hike with some friends, solving some abstract puzzles for a purpose that's not immediately clear, when you get two feet away from your pals and they're as quiet as a dormouse. Or at least, that's been the case for a bunch of folks playing Big Walk, Untitled Goose Game studio House House's latest, as the secret Predator game's approach to proximity chat has made it a little difficult to hear your friends. But an update seemingly fixing the issue is here! Just

Big Walk Review

A clever co-op puzzle adventure that uses communication like no other.

Big Walk simulates the strange, childlike sensation of being unexpectedly separated from your friends, and the joy and relief of finding your way back

The other week, the SIM card in my phone stopped working. At first, working from home, the change was barely noticeable: a router handled my internet coverage, and Whatsapp messages continued unabated. Only once I left the house did I realise that a safety net had been cut. I’ve never once called for a fire engine, but the option has long been a source of comfort. Now, suddenly SIMless, I could not. Nor could I check in with my wife about which binbags to buy. Wi-fi spots at Starbucks and shoppi

Big Walk isn't an open world hangout sim, it's a secret Predator game, or it would be if House House would quit fixing the voice volume

You may have heard that Big Walk, the 12-player open world bumble-a-thon from Untitled Goose Game developers House House, is "a cooperative multiplayer adventure about teamwork and talking". You may have been tempted to call it a "hangout game", or the "antidote to friendslop". You may have read that it's a "sleepy, post-apocalyptic Center Parcs resort", in which players kick rolling lamps around and solve puzzles that involve rocks with keyholes. Such laughable fabrications! Big Walk is actuall

Big Walk getting big talk. It shouldn't come as an enormous surprise, but Big Walk — from the makers of Untitled Goose Game — is getting huge praise. This is a multiplayer adventure game in which you and up to 11 buddies are placed within a large open environment and set loose to explore it. Read the full article on pushsquare.com

Review: Big Walk (Switch 2) - A Co-Op Adventure Like Nothing Else That Somehow Struggles On Switch 2

Little House House on the Prairie. If you’re familiar with House House’s previous title, Untitled Goose Game, you’ll know that the whole game hinges on surprises and quiet charm. Big Walk is entirely different in its structure, but those key principles are made even more pertinent, so I’m going to do my best to skirt around specific details and revealing too much; it’s a game best experienced as blindly as possible with someone close to you. So I played through the whole thing with my wife, Sash

Big Walk Is One Of The Best Co-Op Games Ever

In the three years since Big Walk was announced, I've heard it referred to as a co-op walking sim, a puzzle-adventure game, and friendslop. After spending 20+ hours in the world of the Australian Outback-inspired game, it's no easier to succinctly define it, because it's not actually like anything else. By inventively stripping down the medium to its most essential parts, it invites novices and experts alike to build it back up from scratch, coloring in its mysterious world with their friends by

Big Walk review

"Chris, I think you're muted. Your nose has gone small."

Big Walk is like co-op Breath of the Wild

Untitled Goose Game is a tough act to follow. It was a silly experience that captured what I imagine it would feel like to be a sentient goose: a lot of waddling, a lot of honking, and a lot of shenanigans. That's why Big Walk, the next game from Goose Game developer House House, feels like a radical and unexpected departure. Instead of playing as a goose terrorizing a small village, Big Walk is a co-op multiplayer game where you explore a large island and have to work together to solve puzzles.

Big Walk was born during a COVID lockdown out of a distaste for birthday party Zoom calls

You know, I've been thinking about going for a nice big walk sometime soon. Well, not that soon, maybe sometime in the summer? Before I lock anything in, I'll just watch this new thing about House House's Big Walk and… oh, would you look at that! It's got a release date now, and for this summer too!

Big Walk's creators reflect on their six-year journey

The mandatory COVID lockdowns of 2020 inspired Big Walk. Melbourne-based developer House House – which was behind the 2019 hit Untitled Goose Game – wanted to create something that was about socialising outside with your friends at a time when this was impossible. But the devs had no idea it would take six years to complete.
