In the ever-expanding pantheon of open-world video games where combat, survival, crafting, and anarchy reign, the simple idea of taking a virtual walk while chatting with a few friends might seem pointless. A new video game from Melbourne-based developer House House begs to differ, though, turning a casual stroll across dreamy landscapes into a uniquely collaborative game, where puzzles and the lengths required to solve them take center stage. Some areas of Big Walk<\/a> render players speechless, forcing you to devise innovative ways to communicate. It might just be the antithesis of Fortnite or Grand Theft Auto.<\/p>\n

This friendly, casual, and playful approach to game design may come as no surprise from the makers of the critically acclaimed Untitled Goose Game<\/a>, which is centered entirely on a hapless goose that navigates everyday environments while avoiding the unwanted attention of nearby humans. \u201cAs much as Big Walk is a game about walking and talking, it\u2019s also about exploring, and getting lost, and doing challenges, and sometimes, not really doing anything at all,\u201d shares a game trailer.<\/p>\n

You can play this \u201ccooperative online walker-talker\u201d on Steam<\/a>, Switch 2, and PlayStation 5<\/a> beginning August 4.<\/p>\n
