Outer Wilds is a space exploration game with a great twist. A game that will keep you wanting to play for hours and hours and hours until the end. Everything in the game keeps it at an S-Tier and it is one of my favourite games of all time.

Game's Story - 10/10
The game's story is amazing, and interesting. The game was able to get me invested in the story, and is incredibly well thought out. There are only a few parts that weren't thought through, but for the most part especially for a video game the story is very intact and is great.

Visuals - 10/10
Despite not going for a completely realistic look, the game is beautiful and scary. Space is amazing and so are all of the planets.

Audio - 10/10
SFX - 5/5
I have no complaints, there are no weird sound effects or lack of sound effects they are just work.
Music - 5/5
By end of the journey, the amazing music will have sentimental value.

Gameplay - 10/10
On both gamepad and PC the controls hold up, there are tons of great mechanics that ensure the game is still simple to play. It may take some getting used to flying the ship and flying in 0G but you will get the hang on it.
The achievements are also good, while they I did have to look up solutions they are all good achievements that you can get just by messing about (excluding the Archaeologist achievement which takes time and you will definitely need to look up a guide for).

Value For Money - 10/10
At £20 while it may look a little pricey the overall quality you get for the game is totally worth it, and you can always wait for a frequent sale to get it for around £7 cheaper.

Overall - 10/10
This game is a masterpiece from its story to its gameplay. I enjoyed this game to the ends of the solar system and I am excited to see what Mobius have in store for us next.
The only catch with this game is that you can only experience it once, make it count.


Problem #1 - This is such a minor thing but, the Ash Twin Project puzzle is annoying to wait and and enter and is the only thing that brought me rage in this game.

Problem #2 - This is a more major one, and is less a problem than an annoyance and it is that this game only works once. You can only discover everything once, you can only get the true ending once. You can only play the game once, so when you play it, enjoy it and savour it. You will never get anything like this ever again.
