  please please please don’t look up anything about the Outer Wilds and go in blind

  It’s a legendary game that most wish we had the ability to experience for the first time again with a mind wipe🏅🫡

    I’ve been deterred for so long because Majora’s Mask was perhaps the most violent reaction I had to playing a video game, and Outer Wilds does the Majora’s Mask thing.

      The one mechanic is similar, yes. But the gameplay and exploration are drastically different.

      I can’t praise the game enough… it’s just so good.

        I probably will check it out some day, but that mechanic that’s similar is the thing that deters me.

    I love the idea of the game, and started playing it. But realistically it needs you to commit to some continuous time otherwise you forget what you’ve learned, and I haven’t had the time yet. I played it for a few days, explored lots of places but didn’t learned anything, possibly I was looking on the wrong planets and trying to figure out how to do it right on that planet got frustrated because I didn’t have something that was needed, or something… But I do love the idea of the game, and I want to go in blind. But some of those puzzles can be really frustrating when you only have a few minutes per day and forgot all about them by the next time you try to solve them.

      Use your ship log, it’ll remind you of all the clues you’ve found so far and how they connect together. But I agree it’s better to play continuously without large time gaps to keep everything you’ve learned fresh.

      Just keep pecking at it! Unravel each thread until you’re stuck then grab a hint from somewhere and keep going, I had to come back to Outer Wilds after starting it once initially and giving up, and I’m glad I finished it. Especially the DLC.

      Any game that I have to treat as a second job, is not a game that I want to play.

      Plus it’s yet another open world title, which means a lot of running around, looking for something to do. Hard pass.
