Game of the Week – Big Walk is a brilliant co-op puzzler that's more than "friendslop"

Big Walk.

• Big Walk is perfect if you want mind-bending puzzle design combined with the joy of hanging out with friends.

Here's the 60-second pitch for why you should play Big Walk this weekend: Big Walk is, if you'll pardon the horrifying combination of words, thoughtful "friendslop" – if such a thing exists. It is the perfect sort of game to goof around with friends, kicking objects into the distant dark or firing flare guns haphazardly into occupied buildings. It's also the perfect sort of game to challenge your intellect and ability to collaborate. It is both, if you want it to be, and despite the fact that it sounds like the two flavors would combine into mush, Big Walk makes it work from the moment you hit the tutorial area.
