Big Walk, the latest title from developer House House, has achieved a significant critical milestone since its release on PlayStation Plus Essential. The co-op puzzle-solving game has earned a Metacritic score of 94 among reviewers, making it the highest-rated game ever to launch day-one on the PS Plus Essential tier.
This accomplishment places Big Walk above other critically acclaimed titles previously released on the service. For context, last year's indie hit Blue Prince garnered a score of 92 on Metacritic but was made available on the PS Plus Extra service, not Essential.
GameSpot's review lauded Big Walk as a potential game of the year contender and one of the finest co-op experiences available. The review highlights the game's ability to transform fundamental gaming concepts into a deeply rewarding and memorable cooperative journey, characterized by intense focus and an air of mystery.
