Outer Wilds. For a few friends who don’t have it yet.

I already own it… but it’s just that good. So good I vicariously try to relive the game by watching livestreams and Eelis’ recaps of other live-streamers.

It really is something you have to experience blind. Since the entire game progression is knowledge based and pulling threads on the mysteries until the mosaic of the story and experience unfolds is truly something you can experience once.

How is the dlc? I had a tough time with outer wilds. At the time I played it, I found it to be very frustrating. I needed a spoiler to get past two or three major points. But in hindsight I think it’s really an impressive game. I’m thinking about picking up the dlc, but I’m not sure about it and I don’t want to search about it to avoid spoiler.

  It started off a little slow, but imo it was better than the main game. It’s both a little more streamlined and better story-wise. You probably should play the main game first

    It was too spooky for me, I couldn’t finish the DLC… :(

    There’s a setting to make it less scary in the menus now!

  It’s really good. Amazingly fits inside the first games story seamlessly.
  
  It can be challenging sometimes too and I’m happy to help with soft hints if you ever find you need them

I thought you meant The Outer Wilds, and spent a solid two minutes on a routine sanity check. Hadn’t heard of this game though, so we’ll call it even 😸

  If you are considering picking up Outer Wilds, by god, go in blind. It’s all about finding out.

  It was a bit of a slow burner on release so I’m not surprised you didn’t hear about it. People had access to the beta years before the official release, so when it came out essentially nothing really changed and there wasn’t this big announcement.
