Big Walk's Stellar Reviews Still Can't Solve Its Biggest Problem

Big Walk is one of the most anticipated co-op games of the year and for good reason. An open world full of puzzles, mysteries, and fun that can all be experienced with a group of friends sounds amazing, but the game suffers from a problem that the whole co-op genre has been struggling with for decades. Because of the lack of a single-player mode or online matchmaker, you are forced into finding a group to play with, and when you factor in different schedules and the need for everyone to be involved and feel invested, it can be borderline impossible to get a hold of a handful of pals that all want to keep walking all the way until the credits roll.
