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, 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 a game I highly recommend you get on PS4, and kudos to Tracy Fullerton and USC Games for taking on this project since all the effort and care they put into the game definitely shows.

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