That song has been stuck in my head since I started playing and lasted for days after I’d finished. Or a serene walk to find a nice spot, sit down and enjoy the view. It can signify many different things: a panicky mad dash trying to finish your objective on that particular mission. This is a cliché, but it is hauntingly beautiful. And there are deeper levels there too.Īnd finally, about two minutes before the end of the loop, a song starts playing. There are places and occasions where it starts and it’s always tasteful, unobtrusive and beautiful.Īll the other space explorers are musicians and you can find them throughout the system, sitting at a campfire playing a tune. More importantly, it really fit with the overall mood of the game (which is quite complex).įor the majority of your time playing it, there is none. But when I actually played it, it was wonderful. I didn’t find the screenshots and videos particularly appealing. This kind of visual style isn’t generally my cup of tea. On top of the genuinely fascinating mysteries (which are a lot more involved than just WTF is up with this time loop – though that certainly bears investigating), I really enjoyed the visuals and music. ![]() It is a rare book or TV that does that to me. Trying to build the full picture in my head. I kept thinking about the game’s world even when I wasn’t playing.

There’s nothing (not even death) holding you back, and thanks to the time loop, there are no consequences.Īnd it is all an utter delight. And those will form the bases of your future missions. Go see things, learn things.Īs you start translating the alien text, stories and mysteries start to unfold. It’s just you, your spacesuit and your ship. ![]() There’s no direction, nothing holding your hand. So you fly around, explore the planets and their moons translating notes that an earlier civilisation left there. The people in your village are not aware of this. At the end (or if you die before that), everything resets. The premise hadn’t changed: you’re in a time loop lasting 22 minutes, exploring your stellar system (you’re not human, there is neither Earth nor Sol) in your rocket and space suit. Outer Wilds is an absolutely excellent game. But the name did stick around and when people started talking about it recently, my ears pricked up. I’d mostly stopped paying attention waiting for the full release. But my goodness did it sound intriguing! A space exploration in a mostly physics-based stellar system where 20 minutes in the star explodes in a supernova and the whole thing resets. ![]() The game was in an early alpha and I wasn’t inclined to play it then. (a post by Lukáš Grygar, a Czech games journalist) The first time I heard about Outer Wilds was, wow, six years ago: If you want to go into it completely unspoiled, stop here and just go play it. Warning: This game is incredibly easy to spoil! I will try to avoid doing that, but I will talk about the main mechanic openly (it’s kind of impossible not to).
