I wanted to love Outer Worlds - it seemed to give every other critic beautiful and/or horrified existential feelings. Ultimately, the puzzles and exploration controls were a little too opaque for me. I spent a lot of time either struggling to identify what I needed to do, or failing to execute it because of the wiggliness of space - I was always just out of the flow for it.

Every campfire in space was lovely, though. I only wish I could have roasted more marshmallows.
