AI Summary
5 min read"Big Walk Made Us A Better Podcast" from Triple Click is an episode that functions as both a review and a genuine field report. The hosts—Kirk Hamilton, Jason Schreier, and Maddy Myers—have been playing Big Walk, the new multiplayer game from House House (the studio behind Untitled Goose Game), almost exclusively together. The episode is a deep dive into why the game works, how its design forces real human connection, and what it feels like to discover its puzzles as a group. They also touch on why the game feels like a corrective to the "sweaty PvP" trend in multiplayer gaming, and they share personal recommendations for a TV show, a novel, and a classic series.
