    If there’s one game that I would go back and play over again as if it were the first time, it would be Outer Wilds. It’s a fantastic space exploration experience that rewards your curiosity to explore and desire for knowledge. The Echoes of the Eye expansion further enhances your journey by introducing horror twists to the classic formula. Now that Mobius Digital has released a 4K60FPS patch on next-gen consoles, there’s no reason not to blast off on your spaceship and start your adventure.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished the base game last night, and it was one of the most amazing experiences I've had playing games. Not just games in fact, any art that I've ever experienced. I think Mobius have hit the pinnacle of what it's possible to achieve in this medium. I don't think I'll ever be satisfied with a traditional movie-like narrative in a game again now that I've seen what's possible. For the last hour of this game I was genuinely choked up, and I've never felt like that playing a game before. I don't know exactly why I felt that way, it's likely a combination of the constant sense of awe and wonder I felt while playing. and the constant positive outlook in the face of massive existential concepts. Meeting Solanum on the quantum moon was one of my favourite bits. After all those hours feeling like I had come to know the Nomai, then finally meeting one and it turned out he was really nice just like they had seemed. Loved it when he complemented my 4 eyes (lol), then showed appreciation at the fact I could understand his language and sorrow he couldn't understand mine.

    What a game, truly one of the all time greats.    … Expand
