This is in many ways a so called "walking simulator" yet in many ways it´s not.

You are a space explorer/archaeologist looking for another civilization's history in their old ruins and learning about their devices and technology, there are 5 planets (and a little more) to explore and understand the mechanics and rules of, thing that you will be doing the whole game so you can learn something new that´ll point you to the next clue.

The objective of this game is to solve a mystery that involves the entire solar system (a bold statement I´m sure), to do this you'll have to understand step by step how the old civilization´s history connects with its technology and the planets.

Plain and simple, this is a FANTASTIC experience, it definitely is A GAME first and foremost; So many games nowadays feel like a cinematic experience instead of a game one, I feel a lot of people have gotten confused or forgotten what a game really should be or do, in this one you'll have to learn a lot in order to solve it, but be prepared because every single second is beautiful.

Outer Wilds is a game that is driven by it´s ways of teaching you how it works, there are so many things to learn about and to experience from it that really makes it worth your time and money, a really incredible and meaningful experience that you HAVE to try.

PS: The music is also a damn masterpiece.
