      man i tried so many times and couldn’t get into outer wilds. it’s so fucking boring to get started that when things start getting even remotely interesting I’m already checked out. the game’s all “here’s a bunch of threads, which one do you want to pull” and I’m like “I don’t care”

        Outer Wilds is best started on rainy evenings around late summer, it took me a couple of tries to get into it as well, i bounced off at least 2 times. but the 3rd time it grabbed me and now it’s my all time favourite game.

        basically, don’t stress it :) it’s a brilliant game and honestly after you finish it one day you’ll long for the time when it was still ahead of you as you can only play it once for the first time

      Expedition 33

      Woah. Would you really put Expedition 33 in the same class as the other two? This is the highest indirect praise I’ve seen of the game.

        I would too. It’s just really well crafted world building , story, and side content. There’s so much to do and all of it feels fun.

        absolutely!

        it’s of course a very different game from the other two but brilliant nonetheless

        i dislike turn based combat, i dislike jrpg, but Expedition 33? i adore. the world building, the story, the voice acting- are absolutely incredible. It’s one of those lightnings in a bottle that suddenly appear out of seemingly nowhere
