  Seems to me like Outer Wilds outshone Outer Worlds if anything. I never hear anyone talking of Outer Worlds anymore, but Outer Wilds is still brought up as one of the greatest indie games out there.

    In a way, yeah! But I stand by the fact that a lot of people bought Outer Worlds thinking it was Outer Wilds.

  Outer Worlds is an actual work of art that still manages to play and feel great.

    the PC version is pretty fucked in the “feel great” department. the engine itself renders frames at arbitrary framerates just fine, but the animations (including the camera) only update at up to 60 FPS, with no in-game option to cap the frame rate to that animation rate. vsync doesn’t work properly, and external framerate limiters aren’t able to get a good match either. it’s basically impossible to get this game to feel smooth with proper frame pacing, even with a vrr display.

      Ah that’s too bad to hear, it felt just right on PS4

  Best game ever made, really is. First I’d played in years that felt like a fresh new experience.

  Really unfortunate they both came out around the same time. Although I think the actual target markets were different.

    Yeah, completely different markets. My friend bought the wrong one and for months he wouldn’t try outer wilds because it “wasn’t his sort of game” when it totally was.

  I’ve never heard about Outer Wolrd, however, have been recommended Outer Wilds and it was supposed to be my summer game (but I forgot)
