A 'brief' review that sums up Outer Wilds' positive and negative aspects

IMPORTANT INFO:
  • This game can be midly-spooky at times, as any good exploration game usually are
  • Spoilers may heavily impact how you enjoy this game as it has little replayability. Recommend playing this game with no/limited prior knowledge of the plot threads and mechanics. This review does not include any spoiler as a result.

The positive

+ A "true" exploration game. In my opinion, there are very few games that successfully implement exploration as their main gameplay mechanic in an interesting and compelling manner (the only other game I know of that also does that would be Subnautica).

+ Each planet (and the system itself) you will be exploring each have their own interesting twists to them that significantly alters how you will approach each location.

+ The clever tutorial that subvertly introduces you to the game's mechanics and plot lines.

+ Some of the tracks are pretty good!

The negative

- Lack of replayability: It's a play once - never touch again kind of game. I think you will get the most enjoyment out of this game in the first playthrough.

- A slight lack of NPC interaction: It's not the main aspect of the game, but the key moments and philosophical subjects touched on in this game may have had a bit more weight to them with enhanced player-NPC interaction.


In conclusion

A one-of-a-kind exploration game. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for something different.
