Big Walk hits major milestone on PS Plus

Nearly seven years after its debut, the developers of Untitled Goose Game, House House, have delivered a sequel that is not just a game, but a genuine critical phenomenon. Their latest offering, Big Walk, has landed with an astonishing score and has immediately established itself as a masterpiece of cooperative puzzle-solving.

The impact of the new title was immediately evident when it debuted on PlayStation Plus Essential. Reviewers flocked to the game, recognizing it as a contender for the title of the year, hailing it as one of the best co-op experiences ever created. The praise is high: Big Walk takes fundamental video game concepts—obstacles and incentives—and shapes them into something profoundly rewarding, intensely mysterious, and utterly unforgettable.

This critical success places Big Walk in an elite category. It achieved a score of 94 on Metacritic, making it the most critically acclaimed game ever released on PS Plus Essential on day one. This achievement sets a new benchmark for how brilliantly interactive puzzle design can captivate players.

The hype surrounding the release was already brewing. Just a year prior, House House’s indie adventure-puzzle hit, Blue Prince, had also achieved significant recognition, scoring a strong 92 on Metacritic. While that game was equally praised, it arrived on PS Extra, setting a precedent for how high-quality co-op experiences can capture the gaming world’s attention.

For players looking to dive into the world of Big Walk, the experience is richly layered. Beyond the core gameplay, there are deep secrets waiting to be uncovered and engaging challenges that demand collaboration. Whether you are a seasoned gamer or new to co-op adventures, the game provides rich material for discovery, with guides available for tackling complex puzzles and unlocking hidden achievements.

Big Walk is now available across multiple platforms, ensuring that this celebrated title reaches a wide audience. Players can experience the magic on PC, PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and Mac, ready to embark on their next unforgettable journey with House House.
