damn it
I misread as the Outer Wilds 2 and I was extremely excited for a fraction of a second until I realized it was the other game :;<
I haven't played Outer Wilds yet, but I loved The Outer Worlds, so I'm all on board for this. I have my doubts that Microsoft will want Obsidian to launch Avowed and Outer Worlds 2 in the same year though.
please please please don't look up anything about the Outer Wilds and go in blind
It's a legendary game that most wish we had the ability to experience for the first time again with a mind wipeš š«”
I've been deterred for so long because Majora's Mask was perhaps the most violent reaction I had to playing a video game, and Outer Wilds does the Majora's Mask thing.
The one mechanic is similar, yes. But the gameplay and exploration are drastically different.
I canāt praise the game enoughā¦ itās just so good.
For example. Youāre in a dungeon and then it happens and you go back.
In some ways something happens when youāre pulling on some thread. Thereās no dungeons, no goal (explicitly). You are exploring and as you learn more you realize thereās areas to check out because theyāll answer some question you have about what happened or why something is the way it is.
In this case perhaps the mechanic occurs and you find yourself briefly annoyed. But then you go back to the spot, this time things are in a different place and state and you realize something happens that allows you to go further which leads to another thread/mystery.
And then youāre off. As time goes on you learn to accept and then even invite it. More and more you unravel deeper mysteries, learning what and why and then seeing earlier conclusions in a new light.
Why itās happening, how itās happening, what can be done and canāt, etc. itās really a one of a kind experience.
I probably will check it out some day, but that mechanic that's similar is the thing that deters me.
Itās a foil in Majoraās Mask but, after a little bit, a kind of ally in this one.
You find yourself waiting for it, as it enables you to move on to the next jaunt youāre going to make.
The entire game is one giant puzzle rather than MM where itās alot of smaller ones that the mechanic gets in the way of.
The one mechanic is similar, yes.
Thank you for commenting in a spoiler free way!š¤
I was paralyzed as to how I was gonna say/ask the same thingš
I went and edited more into the answer. Trying to capture the feeling about it so that they arenāt afraid of being annoyed. Hopefully I handled it gingerly enough.
as far as I know I think you did great!šøš
I love the idea of the game, and started playing it. But realistically it needs you to commit to some continuous time otherwise you forget what you've learned, and I haven't had the time yet. I played it for a few days, explored lots of places but didn't learned anything, possibly I was looking on the wrong planets and trying to figure out how to do it right on that planet got frustrated because I didn't have something that was needed, or something.... But I do love the idea of the game, and I want to go in blind. But some of those puzzles can be really frustrating when you only have a few minutes per day and forgot all about them by the next time you try to solve them.
Use your ship log, it'll remind you of all the clues you've found so far and how they connect together. But I agree it's better to play continuously without large time gaps to keep everything you've learned fresh.
Just keep pecking at it! Unravel each thread until you're stuck then grab a hint from somewhere and keep going, I had to come back to Outer Wilds after starting it once initially and giving up, and I'm glad I finished it. Especially the DLC.
Any game that I have to treat as a second job, is not a game that I want to play.
Plus it's yet another open world title, which means a lot of running around, looking for something to do. Hard pass.
