The best game you can only finish once. I promise once you finish you'll be begging all your friends to get it and play so you can live vicariously through them.

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)

I don't know if I have the words to properly describe my experience with Outer Wilds (and the expansion). But I'm compelled to try. An unparalleled, magical experience. A true sense of exploration and discovery. Wonderfully, cleverly, and beautifully crafted. A masterwork of art. I'll just leave it at that. No details. You have to at least try it. You deserve to try it. Best to go in completely blind.
