Review: Big Walk (PS5) – An Ingenious Co-Op Experience Unlike Anything Else on PS5
Push Square's review of Big Walk, House House's new PS5 title, praises it as one of the most inventive multiplayer experiences the platform has seen this year. The strictly co-operative game supports two to twelve players and centres on proximity chat, dropping groups into an Australian outback-inspired open world with no set objectives, letting exploration and improvised teamwork drive progress.
The game gives players minimal guidance, teaching its mechanics organically through environmental puzzles rather than tutorials or on-screen markers, and its puzzles and island layout scale dynamically to match the size of the group. Early challenges involve simple cooperative tasks like holding buttons or stacking characters, before evolving into more complex communication puzzles, such as relaying a code sequence between separated players who can only speak to one adjacent room at a time, fostering genuine group problem-solving and humour.
- Big Walk is a co-op PS5 game for 2-12 players with proximity chat.
- Puzzles and world scale dynamically to your group's size.
- Reviewer calls it 2026's biggest multiplayer surprise for its design.
