Big Walk’s Latest Patch Enhances Voice Chat without Losing Its Charm

Big Walk, the exciting new puzzle game, has been making waves, but not without its share of complaints regarding voice chat volume. Players found the proximity voice chat a bit too quiet for their liking, prompting developer House House to step in with a patch aimed at fixing the issue while staying true to the game’s core design.

The beauty of Big Walk lies in its quirky communication mechanics, where players must get creative to relay messages from afar. Whether it’s through radio chatter, waving arms like crazy, or scribbling notes, the fun comes from the challenge of coordinating with teammates. The developers understand this dynamic and have made adjustments to better suit the needs of players with quieter microphone setups.

With the new patch, players can expect their voices to come through much clearer. House House explained that they’ve improved the overall volume of quieter voices, ensuring players sound louder when speaking closely or at a moderate distance. However, they’ve made it clear that the distance at which voices can be heard remains unchanged. This aspect is crucial to maintaining the game’s particular challenge, similar to how a game might limit jump heights in platformers.

While the patch is a significant improvement for those struggling with voice chat, House House has hinted that further changes could be on the table, depending on player feedback. They’ve expressed their commitment to taking a thoughtful approach, mentioning, “we are a very small team, and we want to make sure we get each change right.”

As for reviews, we haven’t rolled out a full scored review of Big Walk just yet, but the initial impressions are overwhelmingly positive. Those who’ve dived into the game find it to be an absolute blast. Personally, I didn’t face too many issues with voice volume, but it did take me a moment to adjust to how quickly the sound fades away. If you can’t chat comfortably with someone standing about 25 feet away from you in real life, chances are you won’t catch their voice clearly in Big Walk either!
