You are a smart person. You read reviews for games before you buy them, just to make sure you know what you're spending your money on.
What you need to know about Outer Wilds that it is the worst game to get spoiled on, possibly ever. Anything and everything you learn before playing has the potential to harm your experience with it, and even the story's premise and basic gameplay mechanics are things that you do not want to get spoiled to.
Yes, this makes Outer Wilds a difficult game to sell, but, trust me, it's a good one. There are negative reviews out there, sure, but a surprising amount of people say that this game is the best they've ever played, unironically. I can't explain why you'll like it, but there is a pretty good chance that you will. If you don't, you will most likely figure that out before the refund deadline.
So, stop reading into it, and play this game. The risk of getting spoiled by other reviews is too high. If you aren't sold on it yet, then go ahead and keep reading — with caution.

You read reviews of games before you buy them, to make sure you don't throw money away, you are a smart person. If you are reading this review, stop reading reviews, Outer Wilds is best experienced when you know nothing about it before jumping in. My opinion of the game is that unique, masterpiece. There are not many gems like this one.

That's what I felt during my playthrough of Outer Wilds. I am experiencing something that's very rare and special. This one hits different.
It's very difficult to talk about Outer Wilds. The less you know about this game, the better. So I won't spoil the magic. But what I love the most about Outer Wilds without revealing much, is that to progress, you do not need powerups or new skills or tools. All you need is knowledge. This is such a different game design choice from other games, I love it. I often doubted myself if I wasn't smart enough to complete this game and solve the mystery behind it. But after many difficult hours spent, I made it.
Outer Wilds is masterfully done in every aspect and is an experience I will treasure for a lifetime. The soundtrack is simply amazing, they made me feel various emotions throughout my journey. I don't think it has any flaws, even though I tried finding one.
Being able to travel seamlessly in our solar system without any loading screens is quite a feat. That's what a famous game studio should take as an example. And I guess we don't need 1000+ planets to have an amazing experience, do we? By the way, top-notch sound design is what most indie studious can not achieve. But it's implemented amazingly well here. I've never felt this frightened in a game before. Outer Wilds has some of the greatest atmospheres in games ever.
Even if you think you are stuck and can not progress anymore, please do not use Google in your time with Outer Wilds, it will only ruin the experience for you. Believe me, all the knowledge has been sprouted in the galaxy. All you need to do is read carefully and think about the things you discovered. Your curiosity is the key to progress in Outer Wilds.
I can't say that this game is for everyone, but It was definitely for me. If you have a similar taste to me, or trust my taste, I definitely recommend it. Thank you Mobius Digital for creating such a masterpiece, and Annapurna Interactive for seeing the potential and supporting it.
