  It's not easy to write a review for this game since the best experience you get is if you know as little as possible about it. That doesn't make it easy to decide to buy the game though, so I'll try and outline what the game is and what it isn't. This game is a first person exploration puzzle game set in space. There is no voice acting, no quests or objectives with markers on the map. There's no combat and no upgrades or unlockables. It will not tell you where to go or what to do, it leaves everything up to your own curiosity. The only thing you gain in this game over time is knowledge. You can complete this game within 20 minutes as soon as you start it the very first time if you know what to do. But you won't for hours - you'll find clues as to what is happening and where to find answers for specific puzzles or obstacles along the way to point you in the right direction. Everything you learn will be recorded in your ships log as a visual representation of not only visited locations and facts you learned there, but also how they connect to other things you know about or have read or seen so you don't lose track of things. Most of the clues throught the game are text you read - never a lot at a time, but small snippets of text strewn across an area you are exploring. The puzzles aren't just puzzles for the sake of being puzzles. Pretty much every puzzle is the environment itelf. A cave that fills up and is inaccessible at certain points, entrances that open when specific things happen and so on. You never feel like you're solving a puzzle - you always feel like you're exploring and learning new facts about the world you are in. There thought of "what am I doing wrong" quickly changes to "what do I not know yet" if you get stuck on something. Every system, every clue and everything you learn will come together towards the end of your journey in a nice and organic way. If you like exploring things for the sake of exploration, to get to know what is happening in the world around you or if you like space exploration in general this game might be for you.

  The best game you're not allowed to talk about

  TL;DR --> First rule of Outer Wilds: you do not talk about Outer Wilds -------------------- At this point I'm sure you've read many reviews for this game and all of them seem to have the same template: they praise this is one of the best games they've played and it's also one of the most spoiler-sensitive. Well, here is me joining the club and adding yet another similar review to the list. There is just very little you can tell about Outer Wilds that doesn't ruin the experience for newcomers. This is a space exploration game where in the first minutes of the game you will be introduced to most of the mechanics that will accompany you througout most of the journey: how to fly your ship, how to use your spacesuit, how to use your tools. And that's as much as I can tell. This is a game about connecting the dots, scattered across the system. Do you feel lost? Do you feel lost even after several hours? That's great! You are playing Outer Wilds the way intended. At some point, everything collapses, everything makes sense. But these connections are not granted nor obvious: you make that happen. Mechanics-wise, I'm impressed about the great job made by the developers. Physics feel natural, experimentation with them is rewarding, and the attention to detail is just insane. Music-wise, this game is incredible. It is hard to separate the music from the game. It goes along with your discoveries, making sure that what you do feels relevant when it's supposed to. For what's left to say, this is basically one of the best games I have ever played. It's one of those titles you will NEVER forget, and you would pay everything to forget it and play it for the first time again. Do yourself a big favor, buy this game full price, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE LOOK FOR GUIDES OR SPOILERS and enjoy the journey of your life. This game and its lessons will stick with you forever.

  Everyone says that Outer Wilds is best experienced when you know nothing about it before jumping in. And they're right. But still, this makes it difficult for an outsider to decide whether or not they want to buy the game (yes you should); so I'm going to try and describe the kind of game it is and what the experience is like, without spoiling anything. This game is a spatial exploration game in a fictional solar system, mostly based on uncovering the knowledge and actions of an ancient civilization. The game is entirely based on discovery and information gathering; your ship log records what you learn, and that's your progression. There is no other character progression than the knowledge you accumulate. Early on in the game, you'll find that something is going very wrong. There's a mystery that you will want to solve, and the only way you'll solve it is by going out in the universe, gathering clues and piecing them together. You decide where to go and what to do based on your own curiosity and desire to learn; when you explore a place, you learn things that give you background knowledge and/or hints about how to get past obstacles in other places. If you find yourself blocked, go explore another planet: chances are the information on how to overcome what's blocking you is written somewhere else. The game is totally non-linear and encourages you to try new things. At first, you get scattered bits and pieces of information and you don't understand anything, it's totally baffling. Then, as you get more bits, you start seeing connections and elaborating theories on what the hell is happening. This is a very exciting and enthralling part of the game, the reason why spoilers are so bad for this game, and the reason why you shouldn't use Internet guides. Making hypotheses and figuring out where you need to go next in order to check these hypotheses is a huge part of the fun and the experience, and you shouldn't spoil yourself out of it. Then you get key elements of information, and the pieces of the puzzle start falling into place. In the end, when you've almost explored everything, you finally understand what's going on, and it's incredible. Everything is cohesive, all the things that you couldn't figure out at start make perfect sense, and you're awestruck by the immaculate story put together by the developers, and by the grandeur and beauty of it all. And in the same moment, you know exactly what you need to do to finish the game. During the whole experience, you meet a lot of characters. Your fellow Hearthian explorers, who each have their own personality, but also Nomai characters whose lives you read about on the walls they left behind, and you grow attached to them. The game isn't only a pleasure for the deductive center of the brain; it's full of emotion, too, and the end of the game is powerful enough to make the most cold-hearted of us melt into a puddle of tears. This game is unique, it's exciting, it's nerve-wracking at times, it's fun, it's tragic, it's heart string-pulling, it's awe-inspiring, and my only regret is that it can only be fully experienced once. Once you have played it, it will be your regret too.

  When I get old and senile and can't remember well, at least I'll be able to play this game again like it was the first time.

  An absolute gem not widely talked about. If you ever crave a new story with a game that does not hold your hand as you explore the universe, this game is for you. I have gone through Outer Wilds twice; once without the DLC, once with the DLC. Echoes of the Eye adds a new depth and perspective into the story, and ties it all together. I highly recommend playing through the game with the DLC. Be forewarned though; you will get lost and not know what to do. The game does not hold your hand and tell you where to go. Your only guide is your curiosity, and your rumor log on your ship. Other than that, happy exploring! Easily in my top 10 games of all time.

  NO SPOILERS Outer Wilds has executed puzzle-exploration better than any game I've ever played. There are no artificial barriers, either you know how to get to a new area or you can figure out how to. The explicit information is weaved into an engaging story that doesn't try to overwhelm you, and the implicit information makes you feel like a genius when you execute it under the right context. The game-play, story, music, and visuals are all 10/10. This is easily a top 5 single-player game of all time for me, and I urge you to go into this game with as little information as possible.
