truly one of those games i wish i could wipe from my brain and play through for the first time again. Outer Wilds is such an expertly designed, tightly written and gorgeous game with real moments of existential horror and fear, while also having moments of quiet tenderness and revelation that make the experience cripplingly addictive. i found it was hard to get into at first, considering you're basically given free access to the entire solar system right off the bat, but once you start really getting into the story, simply uncovering the mystery at the core of this game becomes the incentive to keep playing. one of the best games of all time!
