@psmr Thanks! Pretty much the same scenario for me as well. Instead of letting it frustrate me I just embraced it and honestly, it’s been a lovely summer. Big Walk looks pretty interesting actually. It’s hard to grasp exactly what kind of game it is from the trailer I watched but I can see the potential.

@Metonymy yeah the only way anyone would ‘get it’ is to play it tbh. I went in expecting that it would be as far from my thing as anything I’d played all year. It’s ended up being amongst my favourite games that I’ve played in 2026. I would recommend any of us anti-social, insular single player-centric gaming loners (of which I’m a proud member 😁) to push out from that solo comfort zone and get some social in… great game.

PS. and yeah I’ve really enjoyed my gaming-free summer too tbh. I haven’t had a tan like this since 1995! 😎

Big Walk trailer was very underwhelming for me and the game just didn’t look my bag, however I think it did a poor job of informing the viewer as to what the game was really about. It does involve Big walks, big climbs, big falls and cooperative puzzles.
Lots of fun and I really enjoyed the game, the puzzles aren’t too mentally taxing but sometimes can take a while to complete plus as I say there is much walking so the game does demand time from the players so don’t expect to play for say 30 mins, I would say a play session needs to be at least 90+ mins to be constructive. Plus voice comms is an absolute must.

For a game about going on a big walk, it sounds pretty interesting! Games like this always make me wonder what that initial pitch looked like.

“So you just…go on a walk?”
“Well, yeah but, you know, it’s a big walk”

Video games are cool 😄

The plot thickens in Two Point Museum, I unlocked tours and I think I'm going to have to tear-down or move a lot of my previous build. People are mulling about too much and slowing down the foot-traffic so I'm thinking the fix is to create one-way doors and funnel them through exhibits much like a kill-box in Rimworld but for consumerism with gift shops and coffee stands at those choke points instead of turrets. In theory it works especially with inflation, I left the game Afk playing all day and now have two-million USD to play around with so I'll probably bulldoze more parks and build there too. I also played around with my first marine (water not combat) museum and those aquatic exhibits and aquariums are a lot of fun.

The plot the game gave me was one quarter of the size, the footprint is huge now.
