Review - Walking Heavy

Walking Heavy is, on the face of it, a basic isometric stealth game, elevated by its presentation. Its graphics are simple, but elegantly so, conveying a wealth of information while also creating a real sense of place with little more than square buildings and a few ambling stick figures.

​

The story, such as it is: after a long holiday, you're back on the job, eliminating rival drug suppliers whose trade in a new product, "Hype." They've been interfering in your boss's good old fashioned cocaine trade. Each procedurally generated level, then, opens with your train arriving in another indistinguishable British suburb. Find your man, sort him out, and make it back to the train station before the coppers find you, and Bob's your uncle.

[...]

Simple but tense stealth action, grimy British neighborhoods, and gritty ambient music? Can't go wrong, and the developer is already at work adding new game modes to increase its lifespan. Give Walking Heavy a butcher's, and you'll be proper chuffed.

Score: 4/5
