Jun 02, 2019 In Outer Wilds, individual planets are tiny, not much bigger than the likes read in The Little Prince.Each location is unique and varies wildly, from the placid forests of your starting location.

I hope bigger games take some of Outer Wilds’ design lessons to heart. There’s nothing quite like it right now and there should be.- -Outer Wilds proves there's still a sense of genuine adventure to be gained from games that commit to a set, fixed structure and design, rather than the kind of sprawling, endless expanses many contemporary titles set out to become. Playing it brought to mind my favorite bits of Dr. Seuss' Oh, The Places You'll Go.except with more of the sun exploding.- Ricky Frech -Outer Wilds takes you on a wonderful mystery through a hand-crafted solar system that is well worth a visit.- -As someone who loves adventure and puzzle games, Outer Wilds was a match made in heaven. It’s not action-packed, and there’s not crafting or deep survival mechanics like most space games have.
Instead, it delivers an engaging mystery that isn’t spoon fed to you. It offers its own unique challenge that I highly recommend to anyone that loves video games or space.- -Beneath its charming and inventive worlds, Outer Wilds hides a cleverly unfolding mystery.-Ultimately, it’s the planets that make this game what it is. Worlds full of mysteries and anomalies. To me they are proof that there is still no substitute for handcrafting your virtual realms.Video review, quote not available.What elevates Outer Wilds is how it confronts this tension between practicality and contemplation. Your exploration rarely feels heroic. In fact, it is often melancholic. There are moments of shout-worthy victory, sure.
But as you piece together the history of your little star system, it becomes clear that there are no easy answers.- -Apollone ranger.- -A tale straight from our childhood tree forts—Outer Wilds will reawaken the passion for exploration that you thought you lost. I've put about 5 hours into this today. If the concept interests you, I recommend going in COMPLETELY BLIND and don't watch any reviews unless they strictly say 'no spoilers'.
Even then, the less you know the better.The exploration has hooked me like no other game in a very long time. 3 planets have HOLY SHIT moments the first time you visit them.
You can pull on story threads from any location, so you really feel encouraged to just fly around until you see something cool.The puzzles are really well designed. You can figure most out on your first try, but you may spend a few loops and not be able to crack certain ones. No problem; 30 seconds later you're on another planet going down another rabbit hole of clues, some of which may give you information you need for the puzzle you got stuck on.The controls feel a bit wonky at first, like many low/zero gravity games.
I got the hang of it after a couple hours and was pulling off screeching landings and skipping across planets at breakneck speeds with my jetpack.There is a lot to unpack with this game, and I'm very conscious that it's one of those you can only experience once to full effect. $12 well spent.
