Within the first hour of playing this game, I could tell it was going to be really special. This is one of those games where the 1st playthrough is very important, any subsequent playthrough most likely will not encapsulate the same feelings.

I'll try not to say too much as it really is different to experience it yourself, but I loved exploring and learning new things about the world. It's very open ended, there's not really much extrinsice motivation, you get a few ideas of what you can do at the beginning, but really it is up to you and what you want to pursue.

I'm hesitant to say its my favorite game ever, aas recency bias is probably affecting that opinion, but it is absolutly in my top 5 games. I still have to play the DLC, I'm not sure if I'm going to hop right into that or leave it for a while until I get that Outer Wilds itch again.
