I played first-person co-op puzzle game Big Walk with strangers back in March and had an absolute gas. Naturally, it's even better with friends: in two long sessions with my PC Gamer pals Tyler and Morgan, we've solved over a dozen puzzles, had twice as many laughs, and as you might expect, done a heck of a lot of walking.
This isn't a review: after about 6 hours we've conquered a whole mess of puzzles but there's still most of the island left to tackle, and I can't wait to get back in there for more.
After a tutorial consisting of just a few signs on the wall telling us how to use our arms and legs, we set off onto a sprawling island covered in trees, rivers, rocks, and brightly colored puzzle-structures scattered around the landscape. Each puzzle awards a prize I internally call a nubbin (because it doesn't, as far as I know, have a name) and those nubbins have a use I won't specify, but the more of them you collect the deeper into the island you'll begin to explore.
The puzzles, honestly, aren't terrifically hard to figure out...
