Reception

I thought the book was better.

Walden, a game is a very interesting PlayStation 4 release that adapts a literary classic into a unique take on an inspirational tale. If I had to describe it in one sentence, it could be distilled into a survival walking simulator of sorts, but by the end of the overall experience, this will end up feeling as something that transcends that. This is...

Overall, Walden, a game turns a gorgeous piece of literary work into an interactive experience where the player can truly live out Thoreau's vision and experiment.

Walden does a good job of being like the book, and a very bad job of being a video game.
