There\u2019s something about spending time with friends that makes the time particularly precious. A moment shared is worth so much more, whatever it may be. This is the foundational principle of Big Walk<\/a>, and because of it, the game is something truly special.<\/p>\n

Big Walk is an open-world puzzle game where players work together with up to 11 of their friends to toil their way through a picturesque island filled with communication-based brain teasers. As players solve more puzzles, more sections of the island become accessible, and more methods of transportation open up, creating a solid sense of progression within the fairly large world. Outside of puzzling, the game features a wide range of exploration as players quite literally go on a \u201cbig walk\u201d across the island, finding not only marked locations for \u201cmindbogglers\u2019\u2019 but also scenic spots to relax and chat with the friends who make the journey so meaningful.<\/p>\n

Big Walk\u2019s primary mode of gameplay is solving the different puzzles scattered around the island. The game wants players engaged with others on the server in order to create a dynamic and overtly social experience, so all of the puzzles are about interacting with each other. It\u2019s all about talking and its many permutations. For example, some encounters prevent players from talking, requiring them to use gestures or other tricks to communicate. Other times, one person will be able to see a clue and the other won\u2019t, requiring them both to work together to contextualize what the hint is and how to use it. These puzzles stand out because they present unique scenarios for communication. The ways in which the game asks you to cooperate with others is refreshing and a genuine joy, creating those moments of clarity that make every good puzzle game just click.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re not working together to conquer the various challenges around the island, you\u2019ll be exploring it. While the art style of the characters and the puzzle areas themselves seem simplistic, they contrast with their detailed environment. The world feels very natural \u2014 aside from the tall, vibrant structures that dot the land \u2014 making the journey feel like an engaging hike through a wonderful wilderness instead of just a long stretch of space between actual activities. These times spent between<\/em> places, the actual \u201cbig walk,\u201d are what makes the gameplay experience truly stand out. The puzzles condition players to engage with those around them, and traveling allows everyone to simply enjoy each other\u2019s company. Even if your main goal is to solve puzzles, you still have to get to them, so the game really encourages engagement with other people.<\/p>\n
