    The huge potential of surprisingly realistic survival game suffers from obsolete visuals, even though it’s on purpose here. The gameplay is downgraded by the boring mini games –the become boring due to a lack of new elements in the second part of a game. The game-improving highlights are a storytelling, voice acting, ambient sounds and fantastic music. Walden has the best chance of succeeding with Thoreau fans, both new and orthodox (they should stay alert though).

    Nice virtual experience based on the famous Walden book. It would be better if we can travel faster in the later part of the game, and maybeNice virtual experience based on the famous Walden book.

    A bit boring, but a bit relaxing too.
    Walden a game is based on Henry David Thoreau’s life in the woods alone at Walden Pond.
    And this is a game about really just trying to enjoy nature..
    You can go through multiple years, the seasons change, youll get letters, theres a light survival aspect here as youll have to collect food, mend your clothes, gather fuel and wood for your home.. but I say light because these things hardly matter…
    if you let them go nothing happens except youll faint of exhaustion.. but this takes a long time to happen..
    other than that.. its just explore and soak in the surroundings..
    this game having early ps3 graphics though make this a bit hard.. but eventually I lost myself in the world, collecting books for inspiration, finding animals and plants to take notes of, collecting arrow heads and listening to henry ramble on about the area you found yourself in…
    it’s a really relaxing game..
    though this is about it..
    explore the foods of the pond, a woods that isn’t all that thrilling to explore…
    I feel like this is a hard game to recommend if you havnt read the book and thought it would be kind of cool to live it out…
    I personally though aside from the brief moments of relaxation didn’t really enjoy it…
    I didn’t find the dialog to be interesting.. I didn’t care for the letters or fishing for cash to buy items from town
    I had the most fun going on the book hunts my homeboy in cabins that teleports from fire to fire would send me on…
    but after I found them all, I was pretty over the game.
    I give Walden, a game
