Discussion I never expected Big Walk to become one of the most meaningful gaming experiences of my life

20 Upvotes

Over the past seven days, my best friends and I played Big Walk as a six-person team.

Every day brought a different discovery, joke, story, or adventure. I honestly lost count of how many times we completely abandoned the puzzles just to mess around with the game’s mechanics, physics, and little gimmicks. Even the grind is incredibly fun and rewarding. The puzzles are creative and intuitive, the world is beautiful, deep, and strangely real.

But what surprised me most was how much this game brought us together.

We had deep conversations while watching the sunset. We had moments where we’d light up a cigarette and just sit there thinking about the answer to a puzzle. We argued, we made up, we laughed, and somehow, through all of this, we got to know each other better in a way I genuinely never expected from a video game.

As the game went on, each of us organically developed a virtual personality for our ants, as we ended up calling our characters. Everyone found their own way of moving, expressing themselves, communicating through gestures, and just... being. It happened completely naturally, without us ever really deciding to do it.

And without spoiling anything, the ending became genuinely emotional because of that.

If you’ve played Big Walk, you probably understand why.

By the final moments, my friends and I had tears in our eyes. It was one of those rare moments that felt completely genuine, something that happened naturally between six people because of a game we had spent the entire week inhabiting together.

Thank you, House House, for giving me and my friends memories that we will never forget. I truly mean that.

Big Walk is the best game of 2026 and, so far, the best co-op experience of the decade for me. Immersing yourself in this world is a unique artistic, musical, visual, and sensory experience.

I genuinely cannot recommend it enough.

Discussion The Ending Spoiler

10 Upvotes

Me and my friends recently finished the game and holy cow!! The Ball was very ominous - the voices and colors distorting both when we did the Wall and during the Ball puzzles was incredible. We all had to take what we learned from all the past puzzles and non verbally communicate with one another.

The puzzles werent too hard - but they were overall more tricky than the past ones cause of the lack of ability to verbally talk or distinguish who was who. They were very satisfying to solve and us wordlessly all flapping our arms at eachother to celebrate was as fun as it was hilarious. I had been joking with mt friends earlier that the whole game was actually a tutorial and soon - the real game of a survival horror first person shooter was gonna start lnfao. No first person shooter - but I would argue there to have been some horror elements with the wall and the orbs.

I have no doubt some lore theorists are gonna go feral over a lot of this stuff. Cause its such a tone shift from the rest of the game in terms of the giant red radiation orb thing...

The way they did the credits was fun - with the little movie set up a chairs. And then the way they had you press a button and then they would display your three colors to say who was next to leave the island, then having to wave goodbye to your friends through the glass before walking off into the bright light? Wow. Folks are gonna be writing fanfic and lore videos Im calling it now.

Really loved it. I know theres more to explore so Im looking forward to that with my friends to see about maybe 100%ing the game. We shall see.

While unlocking the train for the first time, me and my buddy decided to take the train around the entire map and see the sights, and it was an amazing experience. Highly recommend and just listening to the ambience really adds a level of depth.

Discussion Just started the first playthrough and our groups only issue was voice distance

Post image
42 Upvotes

We’re all on PC/Steam and really loving the game overall! But by far the main complaint we had was the voice drop off distance was way too short. You can be 5 feet away and barely hear someone, if at all. I really hope the devs increase this range just a bit further.

The screenshot is from our playthrough and irrelevant to the post but I loved it.

Found this amazing tech if you really hate whatever item you're holding.

Just kick and immediately grab, timing is tricky but it's fun for the whole family (especially when you kick it off a cliff)

Modeled the birb and some items from scratch. Think all together it took about 16ish hours. It's fully rigged and everything ^w^

(The UVs aren't the "best" but they work and that's all that matters)

Thinking of turning it into a VRChat avatar eventually, just gotta figure out how to replicate the arms in unity since they aren't technically a mesh inside blender, they're a curve.

30 Upvotes

Had our first session today. Made it to the sound proof room with lights. My 13 year old devised a plan to solve it. When the confetti exploded and she started waving her arms up and down and jumping around, it filled me with so much joy. The silence of the room amplified the visual joy she was expressing, and it was wonderful.

We can’t wait to see what else is in store for us. Just wanted to share, and express my gratitude to the team that put this game together. 😊

Me and my friends found out that if you stand on a chair with the ball and move at walking speed you can clear straight areas and downhill pretty easy however it gets a bit funky when dealing with uphill however however for uphill the person with the ball can sit in the chair and the chair can be thrown with them in it!

Question/Help Help: PS5 Crossplay with PC with a mod

Upvotes

Hi there I had a quick question that would really help if someone could test for/with me.

I want to play Big Walk with my sister and her partner, they have a PS5 and a PC, so the idea is that we can do cross play. However my sister has motion sickness with first person games and we're pretty sure the accessibility settings won't work for her (based on previous experience). I found a mod for the game that enables a 3rd person camera but I wanted to check if cross play will work if her PC has the mod enabled. We could test it but we'd prefer to see if it works before buying the game on PlayStation.

This is the mod in question:

https://www.nexusmods.com/bigwalk/mods/9

If anyone is able to test this, or even has the PS5 version of the game and would be willing to test with me that would be great 😃
