Outer Wilds.

Have you played it?

[–] tgirlschierke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, though I doubt enough to fully understand the appeal. I think I may just hate vehicle controls in any game ever made.

[–] Thrawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago

Oh vehicle controls are definitely a valid issue to have with the game. They are pretty well designed for controller use. However well designed is not the same as saying they are easy to use. True 6 degrees of freedom controls between orbits are definitely complex.

Sad to have that blocking enjoying the story or more accurately solar system spanning puzzle box.

I found the story intriguing, but the time loop is way too short. Every time it gets interesting, the world resets, you have to get back into the rocketship and fly back to the place you've been before. It's an absolutely unneccessary padding mechanic.

I agree! The time loop was okay when I was just exploring more or less aimlessly but it got super stressful when I started finding leads I wanted to follow...

I have played it multiple times and it has never hooked me. I keep meaning to go back, but I don't know if I will
