I can't put into words how much I love Outer Wilds. I really can't, but I'll try. There's something about mystery media that just grabs me. Slowly uncovering more and more about the world is immensely satisfying to me. Outer Wilds pulls this off better than any game I know. It's interesting to follow the breadcrumbs all throughout the game and when you stumble a big moments/scene and the music changes... Yup, that's the stuff, that's exactly what I need. I don't even understand why it's so much fun for me, it just is.

Flying around with the ship is also a lot of fun and being able to go wherever you want with it? This is free exploration done right. The only thing holding you back is your knowledge about the world. And the fear of what horror of space will kill you this time.

And the atmosphere, OH MY GOD, THE ATMOSPHERE!!! Outer Wilds gave me a feeling of loneliness unmatched by any other piece of fiction. Which made it all the sweeter when I found an NPC I could hang out with for a while, enjoying a campfire and some calming music. Outer Wilds always makes you feel like there's still something out there in space, even if you uncovered all of its mysteries.

Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the DLC at all. The stealth sections were too much for me. I had no fun and put it down after a few hours. But the main game is one of my favourite games of all time. It's rare to find a game that moves you as much as much as Outer Wilds moved me. It's truly a special game in that regard.
