Don’t sleep on this one. This game is a profound masterpiece and I recommend everybody play this without any story spoilers.
For those that aren’t familiar and want to know more, Outer Wilds is a first person space-based mystery and exploration game. You are given free rein to take your space ship to any planet in the solar system. There are no combat encounters and no objective markers. Your immediate goal is set by you and your own curiosity. Depending on your pace you can expect to spend about 20 hours to finish the base game, and then another 10-15 for the DLC.
The big hook that got me to play was knowing that once you have played through this game to completion for the first time, you will never again be able to experience it in the same way.

once you’ve played the entire game then the fear of the unknown that stuck with you at first is gone and the next time you play you realize how important that was to your enjoyment of the game.

Once you’ve learned what there is to learn, you can’t undo that.
So glad I took the recommendation to go into this game blind. Really wish I could wipe my memory and play it again for the first time.
PSA: No matter how good the game sounds, is rumored or actually is, never pre-order.
In this case the game is already available on other platforms. The pre-order risk in this case is for a bad performing port, not gameplay.
Yoooo, been waiting for this to drop for ages. Outer Wilds is such an incredible game.
Does “Archaelogist Edition” have any meaning?
It comes with the DLC
Didn’t know the game had DLC :o
Same question, are they adding anything to the game?
Dlc included
I’m feeling tired I’m going to sleep on this one
