Been sitting on this one for over a year. I really enjoyed Tunic, and it seems Outer Wilds is a similar experience, relying on the player not knowing what’s coming.
The solution to the puzzles are extremely clever and you’re given just enough hints to be able to solve them, but this game demands your attention and every bit of your concentration to be able to fit it all together. The payoff is massive though, the final 30-40 minutes is one of the most memorable and emotional moments I have ever had playing video games.
Friend of mine recommended it to me, and it was already on my radar as it did look very interesting. Bought it, played about an hour and proceeded to ask for a refund. It didn’t do it for me at all.
The funny thing is that on paper it should have been a slam dunk for me, but literally nothing in-game felt like I liked doing it. Weird.
Welp, not every game is for me, and in this case I know I’m a rare outlier. :P

It’s got to be one hell of a game for me to do it. Maybe one in 100 will I touch post game content and I don’t think I’ve finished any
Outer Wilds, for example, is a game you can only play once.
That has not stopped me from downloading a randomizer mod to squeeze more hours out of it.

Still haven’t played this one through, just downloaded it for like the third time.
I don’t know why it hasn’t hooked me, it’s just the sort of game I should enjoy.
