It's funny. I thought the loop was... Not great, the first time I tried Outer Wilds.

Maybe I was at a weird point in my life then, but when I tried it for the second time, something about that just hooked me.

WHY was this happening?

HOW is this happening?

Can I stop this from happening?

And those questions just led to more questions, and my curiosity went crazy.

I get that the game isnt for everyone, but I always tell people that the game is worth a second shot if it's been a while.

It's quite simply the best game that you haven't played.

It is one of those few games that if it clicks with you, it will be an experience that you carey with you for a long time -- and that will be both a blessing and a curse, as there is no way to put the genie back in the bottle once you've finished the game.

If you're on the fence, I'll offer you a teat as to whether or not you'd be the type of person who is likely or not to enjoy the game:

>Spend the money. Download the game and press play. Do not look any information up outside the synopsis on the game's page. Do not go to youtube when you're unsure of what to do. Let your curiosity spark imagination and lead you as to what you'd like to see or understand about the game/setting.

Now there are typically two general types of responses to this:

  • "You're crazy. I'm not spending money on this game just to find out that it isnt any good. I don't like not knowing what I'm heading in to."

>This game probably isnt for you.

  • "Don't look up anything? What kinds of mysteries are hiding in this game waiting to be discovered? I'm so intrigued.."

>This burning curiosity is integral to one's enjoyment of Outer Wilds, I think. You should get this game.

Last note is that I'm quite biased, and this game currently reigns as my favorite.

You might want to look up what that word means and take to heart the fact that something you perceive as true without evidence does not mean that the situation is ironic, as you're basing your expectation on bad information.

I'm gonna go ahead and disengage with you now as your 're obviously a toxic and childish person. Have a better day.
