Outer Worlds is an actual work of art that still manages to play and feel great.
Comment on What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved?

I feel like Outer Wilds was drowned out by Outer Worlds, and the two often get mixed up, usually to Outer Worlds’ favor.
One of my top 10 games.

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.
Navar4477@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
It really did
FireTower@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Really unfortunate they both came out around the same time. Although I think the actual target markets were different.
Navar4477@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
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)

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.
Navar4477@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
In a way, yeah! But I stand by the fact that a lot of people bought Outer Worlds thinking it was Outer Wilds.
