Outer Wilds

Don't trust your friends that keep recommending this game to you, they're actually doing it for an incredibly sinister and selfish reason - to relive the magical feeling it gives you the first time you make your way through it, using you as the vessel for that

I can't write a review for this game that would actually detail its excellence without spoiling the going-in-blind experience, so I'll just describe this game in a few sentences. Outer Wilds is [i]one of the best video games ever made[/i] and it will change the way you think about video games forever. In an age where so many games have devolved into having an obsession with holding the player's hand because of an intense fear of them not enjoying the game correctly, whether due to fear of backlash from a vocal minority that nobody's actually listening to, or simply from trying to mask lazy game design, Outer Wilds is a wonderful breath of fresh air. Go ahead, get lost and confused in this world and do as you please, because no matter what happens, this game will always trust you and never insult your intelligence.

I just hope that anyone who's lucky enough to find this game, and anyone even luckier to find this review on it, would be willing to give it a try and let their curiosity run freely. Please, for both your sake, and my own.
