8 Co-op Games Like Big Walk for Talking, Puzzles and Hanging Out

We Were Here Forever is a two-player co-op puzzle adventure where talking is the whole game. You and a fellow prisoner wake up in Castle Rock and have to escape together, and every puzzle takes both of you, with walkie-talkies as your link and each of you acting as the other's eyes and ears.

Some of Big Walk's puzzles work this way, with one player describing what the others can't see, and here every puzzle does. The escape leads from the dungeons through royal halls to a graveyard and the dark waters of a foundry. It's for exactly two players online, both need a microphone, and Steam lists cross-platform play.

PEAK puts you and up to three friends on a mysterious island as lost nature scouts, and the only way to be rescued is to climb the mountain in the middle. You help each other up ledges, place ropes and climbing spikes for whoever comes next, and talk over proximity chat the whole way.

PEAK punishes mistakes, and its store page warns that the slightest one can spell your doom. You scavenge questionable food, manage injuries that cut your stamina and climb through four biomes, each with its own dangers. The island changes every 24 hours, there are campfires and marshmallows for the breaks, and since October 22, 2026 Steam players can climb with friends on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2.

Journey is the quiet take on going somewhere together. You explore an ancient, mysterious world, soaring above ruins and gliding across sands to uncover its secrets.

You can play alone, or the game pairs you with a fellow traveler: an anonymous stranger you can't speak to, so there's no picking a friend to go with. The visuals and the Grammy-nominated score do most of the talking, and it suits anyone who liked Big Walk's slower moments, like sitting down to watch the sunset.

Journey's studio, thatgamecompany, made Sky: Children of the Light as a free online adventure. You fly across seven realms to free trapped spirits and restore light, exploring alone or with friends who guide the way.

Other players share the world, and you bond with them through emotes, hand-holding and offering your light. Chat opens only between friends or at set spots like benches. You can decorate your own Nest, leave messages for other travelers and join seasonal events with quests and puzzles. It's free to play with in-app purchases, and on Steam it has been in Early Access since April 2024.

Untitled Goose Game is House House's game from before Big Walk, and Panic published both. You're a horrible goose let loose on a village, setting up pranks, stealing hats, honking a lot and generally ruining everyone's day.

Since a free update, two players can go through the whole game together as two horrible geese, honking twice as much. Steam lists it as shared screen co-op, and Remote Play Together lets a friend join over the internet.

Up to four players share one RV in RV There Yet?, a co-op drive home from vacation. A forced detour sends your group through the back country of Mabutts Valley, and you have to find the exit to Route 65.

A physics-based winch at the front and back gets the RV over, under or through most road bumps, and the store page warns that the driver will have a hard time finishing the trip alone. You keep everyone going with burgers and antidotes, and talk over proximity chat, as in Big Walk.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is pure communication: one player is stuck with a bomb, and the others have the manual to defuse it but can't see the bomb, so everyone has to talk it out before time runs out.

Big Walk lets a group go at its own pace, and Steam lists it as playable without timed input. Here every explanation races a clock. It's made to be played in the same room, only one copy is needed, and the manual is free to print or view. The developers say you can also play remotely over a separate voice chat.

One player sits in The Past and the other in The Future in The Past Within, Rusty Lake's co-op-only point-and-click puzzle game, and the only way through is to tell each other what you see.

Each player sees their surroundings in both 2D and 3D, and the developers recommend a second run from the other side. It runs about two hours over two chapters, both players need their own copy and a way to talk, and Steam lists cross-platform play.
