  I dunno if the community’s migrated or is still over on reddit, but /r/outerwilds was always good for gentle hints, for those who want them.

  I don’t know if I’ve seen anyone yet who QUITE got all the puzzles in their own. Some of them are a RIGHT bitch, so don’t feel too bad if you need to get a little bit of help.

    Looks like there’s a small one at !outerwilds@lemmy.world - not much content yet, but so it is while the instance has its initial growth.

    I used a walkthrough right at the very end. The final bit is time sensitive so I was mostly just confirming that I knew what to do and didn’t have to repeat it.

      This was my experience too. I knew what I had to do, but I wasn’t sure if what I was doing was correct cos I couldn’t get out of that one place for a little bit. You know… That place

  Man I want to get into that game so much, but I just can’t handle the controls. I understand them, and I appreciate that they actually have that type of system in the game… But I’m fighting the ship far more than I’m playing the game.

    It plays a lot better with a gamepad. I bounced off it the first time I tried and then the second time I played it on my Steam Deck and got so sucked in that I finished it in a couple of days

      I haven’t played a PC game without a gameplay in like ten years, that’s not my problem. I’m just getting old and my coordination/reaction isn’t the best anymore lol

  Try doing something else for a while, go see other planets, other leads you’ve been following. A lot of places I thought I was stuck in I later realized it was a part of a different puzzle elsewhere in the game.

  Where are you stuck?

  Last piece of advice, don’t give up on the game. It’s one of those games where you’ll be glad you finished it.

  Me too! I’ve already had to search for some very specific things so far. I’ve been trying to avoid a guide, but I’m not sure how much longer I can put it off. It’s just very boring to have to head back to places if I get something time sensitive wrong. I’ll probably stick with it, but it hasn’t been keeping my interest as well as I hoped. It just feels like I’m repeating myself a lot and that’s really boring.
