I know in the current state of games journalism this is pretty much shouting into the void but... If any gaming publication is looking for an extra pair of hands writing features/news (maybe even reviews) - I'd love to hear about it! 🙏

Completely forgot about that very fun Big Walk playtest session with @mostlyalright.com we did for @debugmag.com! (before the game was even out, imagine) Just look at this lovely spread. Anyway, a good reminder to finish Big Walk (only one tower left) -- go support indie mags, folks

Just learned about this living Big Walk legend during my last session with random folks who played a session with John Bigwalk and I was like, 'This is AMAZING'. And then I read this. As I said before, GOTY 2026

Ignas Vieversys @ignasvieversys.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Update: managed to find a lovely group of walkers on r/bigwalk and what can I say -- this game is meant to be played 4+ people. what an experience (learned about the man, the legend himself Big John as well)

Kinda sad to admit the only game you honestly been excited for this year, you don't have friends to finish it with... *sheds a tear* Anyhoo - if anyone's looking for Big Walk co-op buddy or another member to join your group, I'm all ears! (if it's important, I only did one of the towers)

As a games journalist, I try to avoid saying “this game looks like this game plus this game” because it feels dismissive and kind of mean but holy shit I need some studios to start making games that don’t look like “this game plus this game”

"And honestly, I was in the same position: I don't have a regular gaming group, as silly as that sounds, given the job I do." You have no idea how much I related to this - having played Big Walk twice, with friends who don't share the same enthusiasm for it, I might just as well need to do this

Optimism Week: Filling Big Walk with people who had no one to play with demonstrated how deceptively profound it can be www.eurogamer.net/big-walk-wit...

Many blobby people, who look a bit like upright walking ants, stand in a sandy area near a large rock as one of them holds a glowing orb aloft. Perhaps it is their chieftan. In the bottom right-hand corner, a smiling globe has been overlaid, and it's giving a thumbs up. Evidently, the world approves.

This little puzzle (?) is so brilliant that during our second day of Big Walk when we were collecting gourds we secured last session, my friend who was always saying "this game needs some zombies" wanted to do the 5-minute challenge again - just for fun I predict another GOTY for @househouse.com
