Outer Wilds

Outer Wilds isn't just the best mystery game I've ever played, it isn't just the best space game I've ever played, it isn't just the best first person game I've ever played, it isn't even just the best 3D game I've ever played, for me it is the single best game I have ever played.

If you have not played Outer Wilds yet, what are you doing, play it. Outer Wilds is built on mystery and is a once in a lifetime experience so avoid anything to do with the game, sit your butt down, grab a controller and start playing.

The Good: Where do I even start? This game manages to balance story, character, gameplay, mystery and discovery all in its run time of about 10-20 hours depending on how smart you are. It's such an interesting mystery to uncover and it's told in a non-chronological order making it even more gripping. And since it is open world then you can uncover the mysteries of the solar system in almost any order and still have it be coherent and make sense. Not to mention the game looks great as well. And the soundtrack, don't get me started in the soundtrack. Andrew Prahlow does such a good job with the music in this game. The music is so emotional, eerie or warm. The music really creates the mood of each area. The game hosts 6 planets to explore each of them bringing something new to the table and changing over time. Speaking of time, it's one of the most important things in this game. It can be your greatest ally or your worst enemy. But most importantly you must take your time, as rushing through this game is not only difficult but also just gives you a worse experience. And also if at any point you are stuck on a puzzle and don't know what to do. Do NOT search it up, just leave the area and keep playing and soon enough you will find a solution.

The Bad: The only bad things about this game are: the pace starts to slow down a bit once you get close to the end and it's lack of replay ability. Thats it.

Do over all Outer Wilds is a once in a lifetime game and one of the greatest of all time. I could say so much more about this game but it's hard to talk about it without spoiling it, and this is a game where you must go in as blind as possible.

I do not hand out the title of masterpiece very often or lightly. In order for a game to reach that level of praise, all the details and bits and pieces, the graphics, the writing, the art direction, the music, the gameplay itself... everything has to come together to form a unified, cohesive whole.

I can say with absolute certainty that Outer Wilds meets that criteria. Is is beautiful, elegant and inspired. It's impossible to really explain why without spoiling it, and this game is uniquely susceptible to being spoiled.

The only downside is that once you have played it once, you can never really expience its full potential again. Again, it is impossible to explain why without ruining it, but its still well worth playing. Do yourself a favor and go play Outer Wilds!

It is perfect. Undoubtedly, video games are art and here is the pinnacle of it all.

We have been looking for years for the Citizen Kane of video games and works like The Mario Bros., Half-Life, The Last of Us, Grand Theft Auto, Fallout or Dragon Age: Inquisition have been mentioned, but I think it is Outer Wilds who proves that the tenth art exists.

A work that looks at the lost times in an art that is usually seen, recreationally, as a way to fill those gaps, but, that when you finish it, invites you to leave your room and give those hugs that you don't give and say all those things that we don't dare to say and then don't give us time.

Because we don't have dead time, only time that we don't use and waste.

When you start playing this game for the first time (and you must) you may think ' okay, it's a nice little indie game to pass the time', but if you give it a chance you will very quickly come to realize that it is much much more than that.

The story and the message it conveys are truly fascinating. The attention to detail and the fact that it lets you choose your path, complement the experience. The art style and the world design are beautiful and unique, and the music will be stuck in your head for quite a while.

A work of art! Highly recommended!

This is an exploration, puzzle, mystery game that takes place in space. You play as a species named hearthians and your species recently discovered how to go to space. The game starts at the day where the character we're controlling is to go to space for the first time.

The game was being developed at least a decade past before it's release and i feel like this is very important on why this game is so perfect. Everything you see was refined for over a decade to come to it's finished form where it's more or less perfected for you. It takes some time before you're interested in it's mysteries, about one or two hours, but after you're wondering what happens and why, you'll be playing it until the end to discover everything you've wondered and the game does give an answer to every question you might have.

When i reached the end after finishing the DLC, the only thing on my mind was that this game is the best game i've played. Even better, best thing i've experienced. This is the highest 10/10 i can give, above everything else. A must play. Give it a chance.
