Incredibly fun indie game

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024

The exploring mechanic is underutilized in too many games. Outer Wilds builds the entire game around it, with no enemies, no weapons, and fun/challenging puzzles. They expertly created an immersive world, with a compelling story and killer soundtrack to boot. My kids ask me to play this game just so they can watch. Highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxing and intriguing game.

Remember Portal? It's that kind of different - well worth playing

I'm sure there's tons of reviews that will go into more detail, but bottom line is this is well worth buying.

It really reminds me of when Portal came out - a new game mechanic that totally sucks you in, where you'll happily spend hours and hours figuring your way through the world. The mechanics are completely different of course, but I think this is the first game that's recaptured that such a rewarding feeling of learning the logic of a world.

Such a fun creative game. I find the controls a little bit difficult, but I'm not good at games anyway. This is such a beautiful game with an enthralling story line. If your into quantum stuff or space or anything like that this is a game for you. No enemies or anything nothing is trying to kill you, but you can die. A lot. At least at my skill level. Just a nice game

Bought this for my 12 year old son. He is in love with it. I love watching him play it. Delightful, thought provoking, intriguing. The music stays in your head, in a good way. Even as a bystander, I find myself drawn in by the intrigue. It's a truly beautiful game. Innocent, creative, heartfelt. Buy this game. You won't regret it.
