The Hearthian space program has detected an anomaly that canʼt be attributed to any known location in the solar system. Grab your flashlight and prepare to illuminate the darkest secrets of the Outer Wilds in its first and only DLC, Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye.

Runs well on modern hardware.
I hate horror games and I still had a great time playing this. [spoiler] The stealth sections weren't very good, for me at least, but I found interesting ways to skip all of them so it was still fun. [/spoiler] The story and music are beautiful as usual. I love this game so much
I really love the idea of this DLC. Spoilers below: [spoiler] I really wish there was an easier way to access The Stranger instead of having to waste 3 minutes on each loop to reach the places we want to go to. I think that wasted so much time and enjoyment. I think the puzzles were extremely smart though, and a bit harder than the base game puzzles, which is a good thing in my opinion, as I like hard puzzles.[/spoiler] Base game + DLC took me about 36 hours (you can remove 3-4 hours from those since I was AFK, so more like 32 hours total playtime)
Amazing addition to the base game. It doesn't expand on the existing game as such, but rather add a new story within the same world. It works perfectly together. It is as interesting to explore, yet not repetitive, as it adds new mechanics to the game. I've seen some negative reviews, but probably from discouraged people who felt being put back to square one after having played through the base game. But I feel like, that is exactly the strength of the DLC.
