Outer Wilds

My journey into the Outer Wilds began when I randomly came across one of the game's most - if not THE most - memorable song. When I mentioned to a friend that it made me feel a way that was hard to describe, and was considering playing the game to get a better understanding of it, he couldn't recommend me to play it any more feverishly if he could try. Thusly, I snagged the game when it was on sale and gave it a go. And after finishing the game and its DLC... It's hard to put into words what this game has come to mean to me, but I'll do my best. When other games tout about being 'open-world exploration' that gives the player freedom, it's usually the freedom to customize how you look, where to go, who to talk to, or how to approach a scenario, all at your own pace. But Outer Wilds does something different with giving the player freedom and elevates it. There's no 'main' story that the game leads you through, no end goal or beginning goal, and no explanation on what you have to do. Other than a single event that's necessary to start the game's core gameplay element, you're thrown into outer space with no linear direction at all. You start your adventure however you want to start it and just... explore. And with that exploration, you begin to discover the world you're in through the places you find and the people you talk to, sparking your curiosity and eventually start to set your own goals. Your curiosity and need to find out more is the driving force of the game; your need to answer that burning question of "Why" pushing you to go from one place to the next in any order that you see fit, all in an open world that's big enough to make you feel small, but small enough to make it memorable. It's the best example of how a narrative can be cyclical, novel, and everlasting, all at once, creating a special, once-in-a-lifetime experience that is near-impossible to replay once you finish it. On a more personal note, I don’t know if it’s ever possible to really contend with one’s mortality, but this game certainly helped me to process some of that anxiety I once had as a little kid and thought had long since gotten over. And now, as a young adult who's struggling to figure out where their place is meant to be on this floating mudball we call Earth, to see it through a different lens, it's helped me ultimately come to appreciate the time I have, rather than wondering how it'll end. And I think for anyone else who has or once had these same fears as I did, this game can help guide you through those feelings. The only bad thing about Outer Wilds is that it ends. But the best part, is that when it ends, you understand it had to. I don't think there's any other game I've experienced pull off something like what Outer Wilds manages to do, and I don't think there was, is, or will be a game that ever will. It's left me with the appreciation to stop for a minute or (twenty) two and smell the pine trees. For that, I am forever grateful. "Because the universe is, and we are."

[h1]Лучший игровой опыт за последний год это точно![/h1] [h3]10/10[/h3] Эту игру можно охарактеризовать одной фразой: [b]"Да ну! оказывается это работает так?"[/b] Буквально каждая маленькая деталь в этом мире оставленна создателями не просто так. Играя, ты может и не заметишь, но когда в диалогах её вскользь упомянут, а ты вспомнишь что наблюдал ранее, в голове начнет выстраиваться цепочка с характерным, и очень приятным "кликом". [b]Настоятельно прошу[/b], не смотреть что либо об этой игре, а просто взять и пройти от начала и до конца! Ни вики, не Ютуб, ни стримы не передадут те эмоции которые ты получишь проходя ее самостоятельно. Игра крайне чувствительна к спойлерам! Вся прогрессия заключена не на борте шатла, а в голове игрока! Если изначально знать что делать, игра проходится буквально за 7 минут. [b]Не порти себе впечатление![/b] [i]Еще пару слов на последок[/i] В игре лок на 60 фпс, хотя оверлэй стима будет говорить что кадров больше. Я почитал форумы, говорят что это нормально, Просто физика игры привязана к фпс. Лично у меня все шло стабильно первое время конечно плевался, но спустя минут 30 глаза привыкли. Ещё игра настаивает на использовании контроллера, и, как я считаю, достаточно обосновано. Я попробовал поиграть на клавиатуре с мышью, но изза ограничения до 60 фпс картинка слишком рваная. Играть на джойстике глазу гораздо приятнее. Особенно хорошо джойстик проявляет себя когда требуется пилотировать шатл или парить в невесомости, на клавиатуре как по мне это чистейшая боль.

这应该是我第一次玩游戏酸了很多次眼睛，最后看到挪麦先辈的尸骨一个个堆成挪麦飞船，眼泪快要掉下来了。如此智慧敢于探索的种族，至死都在追求真理，28万年前的四眼小鱼现在也已进化为有智生物，替你们见到了追寻一生的宇宙之眼。

If you were confused at the beginning of this game and gave up, I get it. I was a bit frustrated at first because I felt like I had been thrown in the deep end and didn't know where to begin. But please please PLEASE give it another shot. Just explore at your own pace. If you can push past that initial uncomfortable feeling of not knowing wtf you're doing, things will slowly start to make sense. I wish I could wipe my memory and play this all over again. I will rave about this game until the day I die.

Spoiler: [spoiler]this is a very good game[/spoiler]

宇宙的尽头是烤棉花糖

This game has a ton of great ideas; some of them, it executes flawlessly. Unfortunately, those ideas do not all cohere unless you are comfortable with murder suicide. That said, as a vibes-based experience, it's pretty neat. The first few hours are unlike anything else in gaming, and that alone might make it worth it for you.

Spoilers: Came in with super high expectations from my friends glazing the game, and to put it short: I am disappointed. I think after some reflection and watching a YouTube video or two, the story overall is quite solid. There are some things I like, some things I don't. I had a hard time getting emotionally invested in the other hearthians, it felt more like they were all the same dude copy & pasted with little to no variations in their personalities. Except for Feldspar. The Nomai were fun, the dialogue was quite interesting and their personalities became quite apparent as I was reading. I enjoyed that quite a lot. The gameplay I did not really enjoy at all. I felt very insanely lost. Now, I know that is the point of the game and is likely aimed to make you feel excited about exploring these new and unique planets but all it did was make me feel discouraged and not really want to continue playing. The only reason I got through it was due to my friends being in a Discord call; assisting me if I ever got stuck to the point where I wanted to give up. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone, probably. I don't think it's worth spending your money or time on.

Terminei o jogo chorando e se você me perguntasse o motivo eu não conseguiria dizer o porquê, e até agora não sei dizer Isso vai além de um jogo e uma experiência, é uma das melhores obras já feitas na história (se não for a melhor) Eu pensava se escrevia uma review grande, mas eu não conseguiria passar para as palavras o que eu sentia jogando, especialmente no final. É o ápice da exploração em um jogo, o ápice de uma trilha sonora que fala com você, de personagens que se conectam com você em meio a um universo misterioso, aflito e com medo; esse jogo faz você ter muitas reflexões depois que termina, e se apaixona ainda mais por ele. Compre esse jogo no valor que ele estiver, pois valerá a pena em qualquer circunstância [b] "O passado é o passado, agora, mas isso... você sabe, tudo bem! Ele nunca se foi completamente.
