00:00The era of friend slop is over. It's time to get your pals together and embark on truly
00:05meaningful adventures. In this case, wandering around a gargantuan map to solve puzzles and
00:10discover new ways to communicate.
00:14Big Walk, the next game from the creators of Untitled Goose Game, takes the experience
00:19of those late night discord calls where you and your friends get a little bit too philosophical
00:23and turns it into a journey, dropping you into a world with no explanation as to why,
00:28who you are or how you got there, you're just sent out to wander. While you walk you'll
00:33find puzzles to solve which require you and your companions to work together. There's
00:37no sacrificial lamb, there's no giggling at each other's demise, you literally have to
00:42work together. There's no way around it. No teamwork just means no progression and there
00:47are things to unlock across the map that make your life significantly easier, like a chairlift,
00:52a train or even just a big tunnel to walk through rather than scaling hills and trekking valleys.
00:56So you sort of do want to make this progress when you can.
01:00The puzzles you have to solve aren't as easy as just chatting your way through them either.
01:04You'll be separated by soundproof walls, forced to communicate via poses or lights and generally
01:09given no instruction. You are expected to figure out a lot on the go, but again, it's
01:13part of the charm of the entire experience. Since Big Walk relies on proximity chat if you
01:18get stranded from your group and lost in the never-ending wilderness, you do need to rely
01:22on creative ways to make your way back to them. Whether that's a flare gun conveniently
01:25left on the ground, walkie talkies you've picked up along the way, or just screaming
01:29into the abyss and praying someone hears you. It's all part of the fun. Be sure to follow
01:34us here for more gaming news.
