I've not played many games that itches my brain like Outer Wilds does. This si-fi mystery exploration type game exceeded my expectations! 10/10 MUST BUY.

What I loved about this game:
- The art style is timeless. It will still hold up over a decade from now. Beautiful design for everything in the star system. No complaints what so ever about appearance.
- The music is top notch and builds atmosphere. Certain things you do in the game and certain locations kick on a different track, all of them fitting and pleasant to listen to.
- The story is a real treat. I was lucky enough to have played this game years after its release and not have any spoilers. I was able to go into this game with a fresh set of eyes and mind and wow... I'm so glad I got to experience everything first hand. There's tragedy, happiness, hope, sympathy, shock, discovery, and if you play the DLC Echos of the Eye, HORROR! This game has it all and it nails every aspect.
- Having a breakthrough is highly satisfying. When I was really stuck on one part of the story, struggling to find out what to do next, I managed to think myself into a breakthrough that made me enjoy the game so much more. Each and every time a plot point becomes clear is such a joy and made me remember why I fell in love with games so long ago. We need more games like this out there.
- The DLC Echos of the Eye. This DLC adds a whole new story into the game that still fits into the main plot of the original. I probably spent 10-12 hours on the DLC alone. Well worth the price I paid for it. The story was fantastic and I found the change of pace in exploratory style and horror elements refreshing compared to the base game.

What some people might struggle with:
- Not knowing what to do. If you find yourself stumped on one part of the story and can't figure out how to break through, explore something else entirely! Don't overwork yourself on one aspect of the story, things might just work themselves out with more exploration. I would HIGHLY advise you not to look up any spoilers or guides about the game, because as I mentioned above, the breakthroughs you will have are so satisfying. I've had to move on from a couple stuck points my self along the way and do something else for a bit. There is a very helpful story board in-game that will recount all of the important tidbits about your discoveries, consult this often!
