They way they deliver the story bit by bit and encourage the player to explore is just otherworldly.

If you want to submerge yourself in a game about exploring, do play this game without spoilers unless you get really REALLY stuck. (you can check where you haven't explored on the spaceship computer, so you don't have to look things up online and enjoy the game on its fullest.

Here is an example by a review of another user called FabianBlaha :
Words can’t do it justice. Truly a magical experience.

Outer Wilds has to be the best example of a game that transcends its medium — all while remaining a game.

☄️ Sempre cutucou meu interesse, havia jogado algumas horas e tinha achado incrível, mas após ficar um bom tempo sem encostar nele, voltei somente em 2025! Esse jogo mudou minha forma de ver muita coisa, principalmente a humanidade, e do que ela é capaz de fazer, sou grato por esse jogo maravilhoso existir, ter me ensinado tanto, e ter me marcado da forma que marcou! É perfeito. <3

10/10 wouldnt play again
