the everclear of the clicker game genre

get the cat. also major spoilers but at the end it's revealed you're actually underground on epstein island

no

devs did nothing wrong, game is well worth getting, blame sony

The only game I've played where back tracking makes sense, with the most rewarding ending (/endings) I have ever seen. There's nothing else like Outer Wilds. Just play it.

don't buy these reviews, don't buy the game. jarring af, characters and plot and gameplay and pretty much everything is horrendous

best way i can sum up this game: big man scary eyes, running venus fly trap beast on legs, weird fin fish man cracking backs and necks scary boy, head scarf suffocate bug, don't turn the lights off THEY WILL NEVER FIND YOUR BODY, turret bang walkie talk crackle static

i hate this ♥♥♥♥ ing game

You need to stop sprinting everywhere, or you're dead. You need to count the bullets left in your gun, or you're dead. You need to almost always be crouching, or you're dead. You need to hold your breath while aiming a rifle, or you'll miss and you're dead. You need to always aim the pistol, or you'll miss and you're dead. You need to stay still and slow in forests, or you're dead. You need a Commander, or you'll lose. You need to throw smoke grenades at the enemy (but only if you're attacking) or you're dead. Medics need to bandage everybody all the time, or you'll lose. You need to stay out of crowded trenches, or you'll all be very dead. You still need a Commander, or you'll lose. You need to ping all the time and communicate everything, or you're dead. For the love of god, you NEED. A. MIC, or you'll lose. You need to never wear a white helmet, or you're dead. You need to pick Germany on Omaha Beach, or you'll quit.

Finally beat this game. I think, can't even know for sure. It can't be done justice in a review, you should stop reading reviews and just try it. If you're into single player stories and love feeling curious you seriously CANNOT go wrong with this game.

One of those games that just leaves you thinking of nothing else, as you wonder what is actually even going on and what will happen next. Strange occurrences happen a lot and it just gets weirder the further you get through it. Questions about what is actually happening beneath the foreground always lead to more questions when answered. Even after the game ends I'm left wanting more from the all the very memorable characters!

Visual style is amazing, never even realised there isn't a typical UI, it's all 3D interactive to start with... I said it's weird didn't I? so the game just feels so immersive, and atmospheric.

Storytelling goes from quaint and intriguing, to becoming a full on conspiracy with several other characters that aren't what they seem. Almost nothing is what it seems at first, and then eventually it explodes into just a total fustercluck, with the game not even being recognisable anymore, and bizarre plots and characters breaking the fourth wall. This game in it's entirety is so creative, it's worth every penny of the asking price.

Soundtrack is brilliant too, incredibly memorable characters and story twists. It's brilliant. Just buy it. The demo doesn't even give you a fraction of the full experience. I love this lil game.
