We finished Big Walk

I don't want to say too much about it, but this is absolutely a generational accomplishment.

Multiplayer gaming is always technically about communication, in one way or another... but this game has so much to say about communication. It's the most fluent exploration of "multiplayerness" I've ever seen in a game.

If you play Big Walk, you HAVE to follow its rules. You have to physically isolate yourself from other players and use the tools it gives you to communicate. The final "act" of the game in particular requires your complete buy-in. If you get to that point, though, you're probably already bought-in!

I wish I could share my screenshots with you, but so many of them are spoilers, and I do think this game is better if you avoid spoilers. Also, because so much of this game's fun ccomes from successfully cooperating with your friends, a lot of my most triumphant and sentimental screenshots aren't gonna mean anything to you. Like this one:

This really is just an experience you have to have for yourself. So go and do that!! It's great!!!
