Outer Wilds

A Thing I’ve Played 02/25: Outer Wilds

A Poster for Outer Wilds. It shows in an oil-painting-style the protagonist roasting marshmellows in front of a campfire in a forest, with the spacecraft parked next to him. In the sky some of the planets of the game's solar system can be seen.

This is.. so good.
You play as the inhabitant of a (very small) solar system, trying to figure out what the hell is going on. And that’s all I can say without spoilers.
The game has a knowledge-based progression system, so you need to piece the fact together based on what you learn, with locations usually providing hints on how to deal with other locations, in a way that it doesn’t really matter in which order you go which places.

I highly recommend playing it, and to go in there with as little prior knowledge as you humanly can. (And if you’re getting stuck, the subreddit is very good at giving hints instead of solutions.)

I am now diving into the Echoes of the Eye-expansion, so… let’s see how that goes.
