Second this. Outer Wilds is amazing. If you do play, try not to look up anything as the satisfaction of exploring and figuring things out is so cool. The sound track is very good as is the DLC.
Ooo heavy second Outer Wilds. Very fantastic game and comforting.
How would you sell that game to someone? I keep hearing about it but know nothing about it? What makes you love it?
The outer wilds is an exploration game of the highest pedigree. You're in an intricate solar system with lots to discover and puzzle out to solve the central mystery of the game. The atmosphere is quite fun and calming. The music is pretty catchy too. I appreciate the big revelations, the moments where you immediately feel big brained by putting 2 and 2 together. It's genuinely a really good time if you want game about the wonder of discovery.
Thank you, sounds like it'd be up my alley.
There's a reason you keep hearing how good the game is but still don't know much about it. The community is great in letting everyone experience it themselves.
It's best if you know nothing about Outer Wilds before playing it, trust me. I know this is a cliché way of recommending stuff, but in this case it can't be overstated. Just give it an honest try for at least 1-2 hours.
It's a game that gives you "2", "plus", and "two" separately, instead of telling you the answer is 4. Some people don't like it and prefer handholding. Half of the game is done in your head when you're not playing it.
So basically a game that's heavy on exploration and puzzles? It's not open world is it?
Not in the way BOTW is, it's closer to Myst in that there's a world (solar system) to explore with lots clues and lore but not a lot of irrelevant fluff.
Gotcha, I prefer a bit of structure (BOTW being one of few exception) so that works out for me.
Been meaning to play it after I bought it a while ago. I'll have to get to it this weekend
