Outer Wilds

My favourite game of all time. I can't say anything, because every word is a possible spoiler. Just play it, and you'll understand. Alss i can say is that, you will be changed after playing this masterpiece, the greates masterpiece I've ever played.

I think this is one of the best computer games ever written.

It is not without its bugs and foibles and can be enormously frustrating at times - that's what the forums are for! But you cannot help but keep coming back to it and back to it, pushing through. It's a puzzle library in a museum in an interdimensional anomaly in a beautiful little pocket universe.

Yes ... it's just so damn beautiful!

And they have given you the most fun spaceship ever to pilot around this place. I presume the experience is still wonderful on PC, but on a games console the tactile loveliness of controlling that little vessel with triggers and sticks is addictive.

And Andrew Prahlow's haunting soundtrack complements the rest of the team's huge, masterful, stylistic achievement.

Watch out for the ending! It packs a serious emotional punch!

Ps. I'm currently playing Echoes Of The Eye, the (so far) only DLC available for Outer Wilds. It is every bit as good as the main story!

Outer Wilds isn't just the best mystery game I've ever played, it isn't just the best space game I've ever played, it isn't just the best first person game I've ever played, it isn't even just the best 3D game I've ever played, for me it is the single best game I have ever played.

If you have not played Outer Wilds yet, what are you doing, play it. Outer Wilds is built on mystery and is a once in a lifetime experience so avoid anything to do with the game, sit your butt down, grab a controller and start playing.

The Good: Where do I even start? This game manages to balance story, character, gameplay, mystery and discovery all in its run time of about 10-20 hours depending on how smart you are. It's such an interesting mystery to uncover and it's told in a non-chronological order making it even more gripping. And since it is open world then you can uncover the mysteries of the solar system in almost any order and still have it be coherent and make sense. Not to mention the game looks great as well. And the soundtrack, don't get me started in the soundtrack. Andrew Prahlow does such a good job with the music in this game. The music is so emotional, eerie or warm. The music really creates the mood of each area. The game hosts 6 planets to explore each of them bringing something new to the table and changing over time. Speaking of time, it's one of the most important things in this game. It can be your greatest ally or your worst enemy. But most importantly you must take your time, as rushing through this game is not only difficult but also just gives you a worse experience. And also if at any point you are stuck on a puzzle and don't know what to do. Do NOT search it up, just leave the area and keep playing and soon enough you will find a solution.

The Bad: The only bad things about this game are: the pace starts to slow down a bit once you get close to the end and it's lack of replay ability. Thats it.

Do over all Outer Wilds is a once in a lifetime game and one of the greatest of all time. I could say so much more about this game but it's hard to talk about it without spoiling it, and this is a game where you must go in as blind as possible.

It is perfect. Undoubtedly, video games are art and here is the pinnacle of it all.

We have been looking for years for the Citizen Kane of video games and works like The Mario Bros., Half-Life, The Last of Us, Grand Theft Auto, Fallout or Dragon Age: Inquisition have been mentioned, but I think it is Outer Wilds who proves that the tenth art exists.

A work that looks at the lost times in an art that is usually seen, recreationally, as a way to fill those gaps, but, that when you finish it, invites you to leave your room and give those hugs that you don't give and say all those things that we don't dare to say and then don't give us time.

Because we don't have dead time, only time that we don't use and waste.

I downloaded this on the Xbox with the monthly free games. I am so happy I did. I have been playing it non stop. I LOVE IT.

Being able to fly to different planets (with no load time!) and look around has been so fun. Each planet is different and creative.

I can absolutely say this has been added to my list of favorite games. Please give us updates with more planets to explore.
