Review: Big Walk (PS5) - An Ingenious Co-Op Experience Unlike Anything Else on PS5
House House’s Big Walk has emerged as an unexpected multiplayer standout on PS5, introducing a co-op experience designed specifically for group play. The game supports between 2 and 12 players in a shared adventure set in an Australian outback-inspired environment, with proximity chat serving as a central design pillar that fundamentally shapes gameplay and player communication.
A key innovation in Big Walk is its dynamic scaling system, which intelligently adjusts both puzzles and island layout to match the player group’s size. This ensures the experience remains well-calibrated whether tackled by a duo or a full squad of 12, addressing a common challenge in multiplayer games where content can feel either too easy for smaller groups or too demanding for larger ones.
While Big Walk’s strict co-op focus and reliance on a dedicated friend group may limit its appeal to solo players, the game has resonated strongly with friend groups—inspiring recurring “Big Walk Mondays” sessions among players. The title represents an innovative approach to cooperative design on PS5, standing out as one of 2026’s most distinctive multiplayer experiences and challenging conventions about what co-op gaming can achieve.
