Came here to say Outer Wilds. That game is a masterpiece and I encourage anyone and everyone to try it. Only two things I'll say are this: The less you know about it going in, the better the experience. The DLC is also worth it.

It's one of those I downloaded, played 10 minutes of, and then got distracted by something else. I've done a good job avoiding spoilers, I'll check it out next.

That's actually very ironic, the game needs about half an hour to get you hooked and yet so many people quit it beforehand. You'll understand what I mean when you play it

Interestingly enough, I did the same thing. When it launched, I was big into piracy and had a shitty job to pay for games with. Played until I could fly the ship, flew into the sky, then promptly lost control of my ship and didn't touch it again for at least half a decade. So glad I bought it and played it without spoilers!

The less you know about it going in, the better the experience.

This includes the knowledge that it's good. You should forget that people praise it everywhere because that has a potential of ruining the experience. It did for me, somehow.

Came here super late to ask: how? I played it and after discovering most of the things in game I couldn't continue without guides (not good with puzzle games). I also don't get attached to characters that can't move with a few lines of dialog (no I'm not a psychopath, OneShot's endings always give me mixed emotions for a few days). I'm not looking to argue I just want an answer
