Outer Wilds. A game that genuinely made me reflect on my place in the universe.
I bought and learned to play guitar (poorly), just so I could play that song (poorly).
I learned a little piano to play the theme.
I truly think it’s the best game ever made.
Man I really wanted to like this game but I found the goddamn mazes on the sand planet too frustrating. Stumble around, get lost, the window closes, die, respawn and start completely over.
Thank you. I found the time limit really frustrating as I like to take my time with things and could never really get anywhere because I kept dying before I could make any progress.
Panic gets the best of most players. If you take time and patience to observe the patterns, you realize it is all very logical and well structured. Super predictable and the designers created clear paths that become obvious once you get it. Also, part of the message of the game is that you cannot and actually are not required to be everywhere or do everything. You can finish the game in a single loop right from start. But that's not what the game is about.
The controls will not click with my head. 6 times I've picked up this game and tried for several hours a piece
Are you using a gamepad? I couldn’t get it on PC until I plugged in my my controller.
Just finished the DLC last night and got all the achievements. I started some new mods for it too because I don’t want it to be over.
The DLC ending is one of the saddest I have seen in any game.
A truly phenomenal game. I'm so curious what that team will do next.
