I feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it.

That game is so beautiful. It made me a better person.

I was absolutely entranced.

      I wonder if the outer wilds was less successful than it was because there was another game called outer worlds.

      I still don’t know which game is which, and i played on of them

        outer worlds was basically a non bethesda 3d fallout game that wasn’t fallout, seemingly largely inspired by firefly in regards to the cast of characters and some aspects of the plot. you even randomly have your ship’s cargo hold filled with cows like the opening sequence of lne episode of firefly.

        outer wilds is on my backlog and I know nothing apart from being told to play it repeatedly.

          I haven’t played The Outer Worlds, but the screenshots look to me like just a regular old sci-fi game (not necessarily a bad thing though).

          But Outer Wilds actually impressed me. If you plan to play it, don’t watch any gameplay videos. Go into it with zero expectations.

      I liked outer wilds, played that last year.

      I do go on long walking journeys in real life but haven’t ever flown a DIY space ship; maybe that’s why journey hit me harder
