This game really affected me deeply. I went into it almost completely blind, as one should, and exploring space piece by piece was one of the greatest experiences I've had in gaming. I tried my hardest not to rely on tutorials and rather figure things out by myself, and it worked almost completely. The game does exploration really well and you often do not feel truly stuck. The soundtrack, world, characters and story will definitely stick with me for the rest of my life. Highly recommended. My tip for the game is, do not look up anything about it and take your time with it, as there will be no first time ever again. (oh and use the fuel refill in your ship because I didnt know about it for the first 10 hours)

Broke me into a million pieces before carefully making me whole again. Helped me find light in the darkness. This game is for those who are clinging to the past and forgetting they still have a future. For those who feel their bones straining under the weight of the lives they could have lived. For those who need reminding that they are alive, all they need to do is live. 10/10 made me SOB.

One in a Million That's what I felt during my playthrough of Outer Wilds. I am experiencing something that's very rare and special. This one hits different. It's very difficult to talk about Outer Wilds. The less you know about this game, the better. So I won't spoil the magic. But what I love the most about Outer Wilds without revealing much, is that to progress, you do not need powerups or new skills or tools. All you need is knowledge. This is such a different game design choice from other games, I love it. I often doubted myself if I wasn't smart enough to complete this game and solve the mystery behind it. But after many difficult hours spent, I made it. Outer Wilds is masterfully done in every aspect and is an experience I will treasure for a lifetime. The soundtrack is simply amazing, they made me feel various emotions throughout my journey. I don't think it has any flaws, even though I tried finding one. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3214753017 Being able to travel seamlessly in our solar system without any loading screens is quite a feat. That's what a famous game studio should take as an example. And I guess we don't need 1000+ planets to have an amazing experience, do we? By the way, top-notch sound design is what most indie studious can not achieve. But it's implemented amazingly well here. I've never felt this frightened in a game before. Outer Wilds has some of the greatest atmospheres in games ever. Even if you think you are stuck and can not progress anymore, please do not use Google in your time with Outer Wilds, it will only ruin the experience for you. Believe me, all the knowledge has been sprouted in the galaxy. All you need to do is read carefully and think about the things you discovered. Your curiosity is the key to progress in Outer Wilds. I can't say that this game is for everyone, but It was definitely for me. If you have a similar taste to me, or trust my taste, I definitely recommend it. Thank you Mobius Digital for creating such a masterpiece, and Annapurna Interactive for seeing the potential and supporting it.

10/10 I hate that I will never be able to experience the first time playing this ever again.
