This is one of the best games I've ever played. Be open to exploring and adventuring, and just kinda figure things out my dude. The environmental cues in this game are top notch and really just let you explore. I implore you, even if you're the impatient type, to give this game a shot, or at least watch a bit of it to see if you'd be into it. It really is a treat.

The game's music, art direction, physics, controls, story, and pretty much everything else are all top notch, and come together to be immensely more than the sum of its parts.

Revisited this game to go for 100% achievements. It's still such a beautiful work of art.

I will say a couple of the achievements in the DLC are a bit confusing or bugged, but there are very nice guides by the community.

That said, there's so many wonderful things about this game. It's a bridge between immersive sim, puzzle, and exploration genres. It tells of a hopeful optimism alongside crushing existentialism. Everything in the game screams intent of design, and everything feels intentional. Outer Wilds is a game like no other, and I hope it is looked on for inspiration for many years to come.

I'd like to extend a heartfelt "Thank You" to everyone who worked on or around this game, because it really is beautiful.
