Outer Wilds really was a one of a time experience. Recently learned there actually is a DLC for the game. I am really looking forward to the experience and hope it comes close to the base game.
The DCL is different from the base game but still extremely good. Proves to me that the game wasn’t just a lucky shit by the developers. The DLC story also fills a plot ambiguity from the base story.
I’ve been gaming for 30 years and Outer Wilds sparked something in me that I haven’t felt since I first started playing games. Exploring the world felt so satisfying and rewarding, and the art style and (brilliant) music enhance it so much. I went in knowing absolutely nothing and I still think about it 3 years later. Genuinely one of the best pieces of media I’ve ever experienced.
Outer Wilds is hands down my favorite game of all time as well. Everything from the gameplay mechanics, to the music, to the exploration, to the puzzles, to the story just clicked for me. It’s really rare I think to find a grand sci-fi that doesn’t stumble in the last act, but the final moments of Outer Wilds and the DLC as well are just perfection
Keep hearing about this game and i hear you dont wanna spoil yourself on it, but that also means idk if i wanna buy it or not, ill probably end up playing it at some point
Read on your own risk, but I try to be as vague as possible. And I think I am not spoiling a lot, because you will learn about it in the first few minutes of the game:
You are trapped in a time loop and try to find out why it is happening and who caused it. You will follow clues that lead you through the whole star system where you will visit strange worlds and try to solve the riddle, each new time loop getting close to the solution. The riddles/mysteries are really great and integrate fantastically in the world.
I would like to describe it as the perfect mixture of death loop and Myst.
Outer Wilds rekindled my love for exploration. i used to explore a lot in games when i was just starting out, but my play style changed to more by-the-book because i didn’t find anything rewarding by exploring in most games. and over time i forgot how to love exploration. so when i picked up Breath of the Wild, i was completely paralyzed. as soon as i got off the Great Plateau, there was no path to follow. i set it down soon after that.
i heard Outer Wilds recommended to me a lot, so i decided to try it, even though i didn’t have much faith in my ability to enjoy it. but after my first few discoveries, it clicked. there are paths, so so many paths that i can follow. there was no more decision paralysis, and i went to try and follow them all. for the first time in a long time, i explored. i looked around just because. it didn’t take long for me to finish the game, and it was the best experience in gaming i ever had
Definitely Outer Wilds. I will never have this kind of wonder again and this is sad. Even though you can really play it only once, it is worth it.

It’s a bit like the first season of the show Russian Doll, but as a video game
Playing Outer Wilds (+DLC) was an experience I will forever remember.
