Outer Wilds - Echoes of the Eye

Somehow more in love with this game now. I dropped it for 2 months because I was too scared, and I was thinking of leaving a review saying that the DLC might not be for everyone, but I was wrong. A message to anyone worried it might be too scary: You will be scared, but I promise you, it is worth it. If you get stuck, try doing other things. If you're 99% sure you've explored everything and you're still stuck, here's a hint that's formatted like a puzzle! This hint will make the scary/difficult sections easier, and with enough exploration, can even let you skip 2 scary sections!

Echoes of the Eye DLC adds a massive new explorable area, a separate distinct area where you can reach doing certain thing and a few new mechanics to the game. While I quite liked the quality of the new content, I feel it's a bit sparse considering the overall length of the DLC. In terms of exploration and puzzles, it's easily just as good as the base game or maybe even better but I wasn't a big fan of the restrictions. By restrictions, I mean that your spaceship becomes completely useless in the DLC. You only use it to get to the newly added area and once you arrive there, you're done with it for the rest of the run. To be honest, piloting the spaceship was one of my favorite parts of the base game. I wish they had added at least one more classic planet, even if it was small, just so we could use the ship but it is what it is. Also, DLC leaned a bit too heavily into the horror elements this time around. I don't usually have a good relationship with horror games and I definitely broke a sweat in certain parts while playing this. If you loved the base game, you will absolutely love this too. I just wish it had been a bit shorter, it would have been better that way. I'm eagerly looking forward to Mobius Digital's next game. I hope it won't disappoint.
