Outer Wilds (2019) - So good it needs twin threads - The Bear and Badger

SpaceGazelle

I downloaded this on a whim and it's now one of my favourite games ever. I can't do a good OP because it's best to go in completely blind and figure it out as you go. The sense of discovery is a delight and I've never played a game quite like it.

The only downer is it's not on PC pass, as it looks terrific on PC. The Xbox One struggles a little but don't let that stop you playing it.

Here's a trailer if you must but really just play it. The less you know the better it's going to be.

Ignore, there's a thread already.

This is on my wishlist. Will get it on gamepads for sure.

It is one of the best games ever, I played it last Christmas and I still think about it.

Didn't really do it for me. I found the flying deeply frustrating, hence the mechanics underwhelming, and the "story" a bit meh. Did some interesting stuff, and kinda looked nice, but I don't personally get the praise others heap on it. Opinions, eh?

FYI, I sunk this, given other thread.

Also because Ace posted. And he is my mortal chess enemy.

Very mortal

You're a madman.

I didn't get too far in tbf. But it didn't get its teeth in...

Which thread are we posting in? Superb experience, didn't expect to like it but wow. I wasn't keen on the flight controls either, or the lightweight walking really, but none of that mattered too much once it had its claws in. Everyone talks about the twin planets but why not eh? It's brilliant.

SpaceGazelle

Yeah I couldn't find the OG thread, so post in there.

Might get this on Xbox one S

Howdy, Stranger!
