Outer Wilds

This game is nothing short of incredible. If you're anything like me and enjoy exploring, beautiful visuals, story and music then you will not regret playing this game. I finished this game with tears in my eyes and you might too. Try it and don't let the first impressions it gives you fool you. Thank you for everyone involved in this game's production, you have crafted one of my new top 3 games.

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!

Rapidly became one of my all time favorites (maybe even Top 2)

This Game has a cartoony charme like Spore had back in the day without being cheap or ridicioulos. And it does what i expected from "No mans sky", what said game could not live up to: It has a fresh perspective on the universe and tells it in a way that reignites my fascination with space, science and the obscure/unknown.

Pros: + Exploration ist the core of Outer Wilds. Great gameplay that revolves around gathering information about the world -- not about collecting stuff or loot or Experience. You learn about the world and that alone is the progress in the game.

+ Dense atmosphere, the score is perfection and fits every situation brilliantly.

+ world is so memorable, that you never run out of ideas, what you could try next.

+ many other things regarding the gameplay-elements and story i cannot talk about because of spoilers.

+ absolutely fascinating world design.

+ Twists and Turns, every piece matters.

Cons:

• Once its finished, it is hard to experience it like you did when everything was new :)

It is a beatiful scifi Story that includes many phenomena (like Comets, Supernovae, Time-Travel, Quantum-Objects) in a creative way. May not be the most realistic game regarding Space an Space travel -- but then again it does not aim to do so ( for instance: Planets in here are a kilometer or so in diameter. That is not realistic at all, of course.) If you understand a little bit about physics it will come as a surprise, that the creators included many things.

Yes it is stripped down, cartoony and stylized. But how they are using these thing to tell a connected story is brillant.

And the end is as great as it can be. In the middle of the game i was worried, that it promised too much. But no, it does not dissappoint.

It is very hard to describe the quality of the game without spoiling the experience. I think one has to play it in order to understand why this is such a special thing.

The sad thing is there may never be another game like Outer Wilds.

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.

This is an exploration, puzzle, mystery game that takes place in space. You play as a species named hearthians and your species recently discovered how to go to space. The game starts at the day where the character we're controlling is to go to space for the first time.

The game was being developed at least a decade past before it's release and i feel like this is very important on why this game is so perfect. Everything you see was refined for over a decade to come to it's finished form where it's more or less perfected for you. It takes some time before you're interested in it's mysteries, about one or two hours, but after you're wondering what happens and why, you'll be playing it until the end to discover everything you've wondered and the game does give an answer to every question you might have.

When i reached the end after finishing the DLC, the only thing on my mind was that this game is the best game i've played. Even better, best thing i've experienced. This is the highest 10/10 i can give, above everything else. A must play. Give it a chance.
