Outer Wilds

A mystery of a lost civilization to unravel through exploration space, funny characters, tricky planets, tricky dead space fish and jellyfish, with a bit of armageddon... yes, that's some of the things in the game and I literally just tried it out once, but deserves the best credits. AMAZING

Do yourself a favor and go into this game as blind as possible and you'll experience a masterclass in game design unlike anything you've ever played.

I'm not at liberty to disclose the events of this game, so I'll give you a brief breakdown of the game play and why its so fun. The core game play loop:
- Step into the shoes of Bill Murray and explore a hand crafted solar system that features real time interactions between the planetary bodies which comprise the system.
- Utilize a versatile set of tools to explore, solve puzzles, and navigate obstacles. They only sometimes violate the laws of reality.
- Solve an ancient mystery, older than Tommy Lee Jones.
- Get the band back together for one last concert.

A story game filled with science and interesting game mechanics

This game has genuinly changed my perspective on life, death, and the universe itself, 10/10 would get amnesia to play it again,

The DLC is potentailly the best DLC for any game ever and is an easy 11/10, get Outer WIlds and its DLC

Easily the most special, jaw-dropping, and beautiful piece of media I've ever played or seen. Go in blind, your future self will thank you.

This game is one big puzzle and also one of the greatest game I've ever played. It make sense to only play it once, but you wish you could play it forever. DLC is also great, spooky and quite scary with no jumpscares. Music very nostalgic. There is only one downside that I saw after playing it. You need to go back to locations that you've been already quite often, but it is part of the plot. In short masterpiece. Hope games such as this one will appear more often.

play this now, dont go to work, just play and beat this. wipe your memory, then play this again.

Lots of things to like here, but could never get invested due the repetition this game inherently has.

This game really affected me deeply. I went into it almost completely blind, as one should, and exploring space piece by piece was one of the greatest experiences I've had in gaming. I tried my hardest not to rely on tutorials and rather figure things out by myself, and it worked almost completely. The game does exploration really well and you often do not feel truly stuck. The soundtrack, world, characters and story will definitely stick with me for the rest of my life. Highly recommended.

My tip for the game is, do not look up anything about it and take your time with it, as there will be no first time ever again. (oh and use the fuel refill in your ship because I didnt know about it for the first 10 hours)

Never in my life have I seriously thought that I wish I could play a game for the first time again, but this game changed that. Outer wilds is one of the best experiences I've ever had not only playing a game but ever. The game feels like more than just an amazing game, but an amazing experience in general. The ending is beautiful and the game play leading up to it is both extremely interesting and immersive. I have never wanted to write a review before but after finishing this game it felt like I needed to. Now that it's over, no other game for a while will feel as good as Outer Wilds.

Outer Wilds is a phenomenal game about discovering the secrets of a small solar system. The planets are all hand crafted and dense with things to explore. The game keeps notes of important things for you, which helps keep track of where there's still hidden secrets. It is easily a contender for the best game I've ever played, and I would strongly recommend going into it blind as the entire game is about discovering things for yourself.

I'm clearly in the minority, but I didn't find the charm of the game sufficient to outweigh its clunkiness. The infrequent save points require repeating dialogues if you need to leave the game before you encounter a random save point. Perhaps i didn't give this enough of a chance, but the the controls for flight I also found too difficult to achieve at least adequate competence to make continuing to learn worthwhile.

I wish all those well who've had such an amazing experience with the game, it just didn't work for me.

classic pure exploration game + time looping. also terrifies me because if feels like the whole game is out of bounds.
great game if you want that exploration feel, like space, and dont want any bells and whistles. truly one of the few games i can say is just about exploration and discovery of the story through exploration. graphics still tolerable in 2024 surprisingly.

One of the best games I played. It really manages to create an immersive experience: the music, the world/character design, etc blend perfectly to boost the exploration and puzzle solving experience.

A truly beautiful experience. The gameplay is unique and the story keeps you curious. Excluding the parts that terrified me, this game is amazing.

I've never experienced a game like Outer Wilds. It's not for everyone, but I'd recommend to try and give it a shot anyway.

Really unique game that you can feel the devs had passion creating this. Game has so much mystery and puzzles to figure out. Makes it so rewarding figuring out the bigger picture and putting the pieces together.

I wish I could go back to when I hadn't played this game so I could experience playing this game again.

I highly recommend knowing as little as possible going into this game and just enjoying the journey. If you love The Martian or Project Hail Mary, you'll love this game!

one of if not the best game ive played in my life, thank you mobius games for making this, geniunely lifechanging stuff here

I have no way to express my experience for this game beyond a heart shattering sadness that I will never get to play it for the first time ever again. This is one of the greatest video games ever made and I can only pray that I get to have another moment in my life that has as large an emotional resonance with my soul as the conclusion of this game.

THIS GAME! I just finished it and OM GOODNESS! This game is deep. It is complex. and oh my goodness it is AMAZING! *A couple notes for future players* I got lost multiple times and I thought I "finished" the game without actually finishing the game, but redit provides a lot of good spoiler free hints to get you back on the right track. I got super frusterated at times but the story, the ending, and the message took it from a 6/10 game to a 15/10 game. It's okay to be stuck. Try to figure it out yourself. But it's okay to check the internet.

Curiosity, excitement, fear, and frustration; this game was a roller coaster of emotions in all its glory, weaving together reflections on the finitude of life, the legacy we leave for the future, and the profound insignificance of being. It masterfully embodies humanism and environmentalism in their most beautiful expression. 10/10.

This is a game dev's best whimsical dream and worst agonizing nightmare at the same time, and that fact I'm able to play something like this in real life is incredible. Plenty of other games have done puzzles, physics, and exploration phenomenally well, but you can tell that Mobius went above and beyond in every category to produce one of the best gameplay loops EVER.

Every other studio would've quit while they're ahead. Valve would've excelled in encouraging you to use the tools you have, but they never would've made dialogue a part of the puzzles. Bethesda would've provided a massive space for you to dig up lore and face challenges, but they wouldn't have made the sights continually distinguishable or surprising. And NO ONE would've ever attempted a complete real time rendering of every 3D planet and moon which can not only be visited quickly, but are viewed from a first person perspective and outside of a space sim!

We need more people like those at Mobius, who are willing to express an unbridled creative vision while sparing no expense. They are truly one of the best teams out there, providing a stern opposition to mismanaged AAA and unacceptable AAAA. Let's hope for more sincerity like that in the Outer Wilds!

Am I... in love again?
It's very hard to express my emotions and feelings after some hours of gameplay, for sure i can say that i've never played such INCREDIBLE, FASCINATING and ASTONISHING game, the amount of adjectives couldn't describe my attitude to this masterpiece. I played a lot games connected with space-exploration and this is, by far, the best experience i've ever had. The combination of being curious about everything and beign frighten about every rustle is keeping me truly alive, cause this fear is so... different? The fear of unknown and for some people even astrophobia can make your gameplay more difficult at the start but it's truly worth it, especially the plot... I wouldn't say anything about it, but for you to know - I truly want to erase my memory to play this game one more time and maybe... I could even repeat it a certain number of times.

This game is amazing. Immersive mystery puzzle game with a beautiful story.

This is a game that should be played by everyone. The music and art direction are 10/10. Intrigue and curiosity drive the story forward. Take as long as you need and actually enjoy the game. Possibly once in a lifetime experience.

I haven't beaten the game yet, but so far it's on course to become my favourite game ever. Go into it completely blind, you won't regret it!

Flawless game, I can't even describe how I felt after finishing it.
This will be talked about for years/decades to come. It pushed my standards up for the exploration/puzzle genre.

Definitely looking forward to a sequel or whatever this studio cooks up.

I never really thought I liked puzzle and exploration games before. But wow. As someone who basically only played roguelikes, this game surprised me with how amazing it is. It's one of my favorite games now, and holy moly does it deserve it.

Look up nothing. Stay curious. Keep exploring. Outer those wilds.

Truly one of the greatest games of all time. If you are considering getting it, just do it, you won't be disappointed at all.

This has become one of my favourite games of all-time! ::) The exploration, the awe, the discovery, the mystery, the amazing story and lore. Definitely frustrating at times (just having to redo things), but well worth it. While I preferred the original over the DLC, I do recommend checking that out too, even if you hate horror like me, it definitely pays off. Outer Wilds makes you feel allll the emotions!

An odd but eye-opening experience. An experience you truly only get to live once.

This game is a marvel of design, worldbuilding, storytelling, open structure, space navigation, smart player guidance and exposition.

It's what gaming can do best: move people, push their curiosity, challenge their sense of logic and make them feel smart.

It's a timeless (pun intended) piece of art that will age perfectly, remaining a classic many years from now.

I went into this game completely blind, not knowing what to expect. I was told not to look ANYTHING up- not a single detail. And it was the best decision ever. This game is full of mystery and discovery, emotions and acceptance. What seemed like a silly space game left me crying for a solid hour. This is a masterpiece, and I very much recommend it. Remember- make goals, and be curious ::)

Think Fortnite, but remove the battle royale and everything else and add a space exploration game where you find things out about your solar system and why certain things are going the way they are. Very unique game that truly is a once in a lifetime experience.

Truly my favorite game of all time, a game that leaves an individual message for each person who plays it, but with a beautiful overarching meaning. 11/10. For a better experience, play it without knowing anything beforehand, and play the DLC after finishing the base game. ::)

If you ever want to buy this game, play it on steam so that you can leave a review and share how it moved you. I bought it first on microsoft but I wanted to have this in my collection on steam also. If you think this is a short game, come again. If you think this game can't make you cry, come again. Even when you end the game, you haven't finished the game. 11/10 would love to forget the game so that I can discover it all over again.

I adore this game. I've never played a game like this before. You can only play/experience it once.

I really can't say much without spoiling it, you really just have to experience it yourself.

This is one of my favorite games of all time. The devs really took their time with this one. They don't hold your hand. In fact, they kick you in the gut sometimes. I loved it. Emotional, exploratory, beautiful.

i can somewhat confront the impermanence of being, the dread of the unknown, and my cosmic insignificance after beating the game. the universe is, and we are.

Amazing story telling combining with a true feeling of discovery unlike any I have seen through any medium before. I highly recommend not spoiling anything.

A gem like no other. After finishing the game, it felt like I had finished a good book.
And everyone is right: do play this game without looking for spoilers. It's not a game with a story, it's a story that has a game on the side

It's like Myst but purely exploration-based. One-of-a-kind, must-play experience. DLC is meh.

It's my favorite game of all time, and it's not even close. I strongly recommend going in knowing as little as possible.

Going into this blind was a gift I never knew I had. This game has a sense of wonder and discovery like no other. A true adventure game that requires brain power and a heart. Simply one of my favourites of all time.

A little plot about aliens not unlike us and their lust for exploration allows you to uncover such a deep history about the species that came before them. The story is about individuals coming together as one to facilitate something bigger than all of them and it is told so beautifully over the course of puzzles and experimentation done by the player.

This feels like a gem that only comes along a few times in a lifetime. I will sing the praises of this game until my death and hope to see more like it in the future. One of those games I wish I could play for the first time again.

Space exploring, quantum physics, puzzles, science, and a mind blowing story to go along with it whats not to like.

Space is the place.
Go get lost in this game and uncover a unique and fun story and over all experience! But whatever you do, don't go looking for play through's or spoilers on this one, it'll ruin it for you.

Very good game Once in a life time experiance definitly recommend to anyone who likes exploring and thrills and the music is very good in the game

Currently roasting Marshmallow's with the most beautiful acoustic before my very first flight and a hard day.

I can tell this game is going to be a good one.. :)
