PC User Reviews

One of the purest exploration games out there. You are a space explorer on your first mission, allowed to go anywhere you want from minute 1, with no more clues than that. However, no matter your route, you will quickly learn that there's something deeply mysterious, and deeply wrong, in that star system. Fortunately, good reading skills and some (okay, maybe quite the) wit are all it takes to figure this big puzzle out.

Une superbe expérience, je recommandeDans ce jeu on explore l'espace et différentes planètes, on essaye de comprendre les différents mystères du système solaire concernant une ancienne civilisation. C'est un openworld qui nous donne une liberté totale, il n'y a pas d'ordre linéaire c'est vraiment une exploration libre dans le monde.Ensuite le lore et les mystères qu'on découvre sont super intéressants. L'exploration du monde est hyper plaisante, on découvre des endroits beaux et surprenants, et originaux entre eux ; aucune planète ne se ressemble, chacune est unique à sa manière. Le monde est riche en contenu, en quantité et en qualité.Outer Wilds est un jeu excitant car c'est un jeu de découvertes, on découvre constamment quelque chose de nouveau et **** bande son est aussi marquante, je pense aux musiques, aussi à l'animation de mort dés le début du jeu, et autres - c'est un jeu vraiment plaisant auditivement.

I had zero ideas, zero expectations - I had nothing, I bought this game only because I have seen a repeating phrase in the reviews when I quickly scanned through them: “I wish I could play this game for the first time again”, but the one that sealed the deal for me was “If you have any curiosity left, then this game is for you”. Boy, that was right on the money. There is nothing more fitting to use as a hook to attract new people to experience this masterpiece than one word - curiosity. From the moment you start your expedition, till the very end, the feeling of curiosity, the drive to find out what lies at the core of everything, the elementary urge and want to understand this world will serve as the main force which will propel you to an experience far too few people aim to live nowadays. Even though the world seems small, I think it is a perfect abstraction to the well-thought and executed mechanics at play, an applaudable design choice. The planets each have their own rules - hence each has its own character, or to put it less professionally - each planet has its own way to cause you to die in a stupid/hilarious way. Another enjoyable part of the game are the puzzles, perfectly crafted with the right amount of challenge. The feeling you get when your neurons link the various bits of information you have found around the world and give you that “Aha!” moment is truly spectacular. The soundtrack has a great mix between relaxing, cozy and tension-inducing. The placement of the tracks during gameplay being on point is an understatement. The sound is what gives heft and weight to the moments you encounter during your play-through and in the Outer Wilds’ case it passes all the marks with flying colours.

the greatest game ever made and its not even close. ngl for me its the greatest piece of media ever made. The ending is genuinely GENUINELY something else and the way it builds up the ending and the amount of work I do that culminates into the ending is js... i dont even have words on it. Everyone should play this game once before dying man.

L ho giocato e finito di recente , a L età di 36 anni, ed è stata l esperienza di gioco più bella in un videogioco che ho mai giocato .

[Spain Version] El mayor porro que he jugado. Lo mismo de juegazo que de porro [English Version] The biggest trip **** I’ve ever played. Just as much of a masterpiece as it is a trip.

Absolutely such an amazing game. Please try it if you have not yet and dont look anything up unless you are really really stuck and even then tread very carefully. For some people It can be hard to get into but if you arent hooked immediately you will be after a few hours.

Every second of this game feels extremely unique. It delivers an experience no other game can bring it's just simply genius.

J'ai presque envie de dire : ce jeu a changé ma vie. Entre ici l'acceptation et la fatalité, l'éphémère et la curiosité récompensée. Outer wilds est une magie unique que chacun devrait goûter.

One of the best game I ever played. Simply amazing. The story, the exploration, the movement everything is great. A must play.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

After playing this game, you’ll want to die. But you’ll learn to be okay with that.

this f*king game makes it so easy to lose all of progress in a run, really frustrating.

I am incredibly late to the party, but thanks to a friend I was able to live through the story over and over and over. Amazing from the beginning to the end, it's a one of a kind puzzle, the feeling once everything comes together in ones head is indescribable.

This is a solid game and for anyone questioning this purchase, I would dive in. The music, the emotion, the mechanics are absolutely groundbreaking and the only problem with this game is that there isn't more to play. This is one of those special games that will live in my heart for a long time.

10- Perfect After decades of video games, I felt that I’d begun to lose interest in my favorite hobby. Games felt like a chore to get through and I was increasingly critical of them. But every now and again I stumble upon something that reignites my passion for the medium and reminds me that the best games can offer a comprehensive experience completely out of reach of books, television, painting, and the like. Of these games, and without any hyperbole, Outer Wilds is the most important one I’ve ever picked up. The poetic nature of this game is that it teaches you to appreciate the ephemeral beauty of our mortal condition, while also being a game you can only truly experience once. This game is a tiny piece of life. You live it once and though you can’t ever go back, the experience stays with you forever.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

This game changed my life completely, the story, the atmosphere, the music... everything adds together to form this masterpiece. I've played countless amounts of similar games, yet none of them can achieve what outer wilds have.

Uncovering the narrative of this world is one of my most treasured memories gaming.

If anyone loves exploring an immersive interactive world this game is fantastic and also surprisingly emotional in the end. If anyone is thinking of playing try your best to avoid spoilers and figure out stuff by yourself. The beauty of this game is in the freedom of exploration the player has as well as learning more about past events and civilizations. Also you know, space is awesome.

大师级别的科幻作品, 在求知, 发现, 离别, 终结, 哲学方面做得印象深刻. 关卡设计, 剧情, 与谜题设计浑然天成. 剧情的冲击感与回味感极强, 浪漫,温暖又悲伤. 既有宇宙的宏大, 又歌颂了渺小的存在, 绝对的大师之作, 仅有一次的难忘体验.

This game is phenomenal. No other game even comes close to the feeling of exploration Outer Wilds can provide. It breaks several traditions of gaming beautifully

I mean. How can I not? The only downside to this game is that now I’m left chasing the same high to no avail.

Wonderful experience. Puzzle hints and bits of ancient lore scattered all around the planets but in an intuitive and engaging way. The overwhelming feeling of being lost in a huge universe, wondering whatever the eye of the universe is and where it is, makes the experience even more unique

This game is the best entertainment experience I've ever had in my life. It's perfect, not only in its absurdly good story, but also in the hyper-complex concepts of modern physics and astrophysics that they managed to incorporate so naturally, in the gameplay that immerses you on a bizarre level even without any progression, and in the ending... Oh, the ending of this game... I really wanted to talk about it, but this game is the worst possible place to get spoilers, so I'll spare you, but the ending of this game is the best science fiction ending I've ever seen in my life (In fact, Outer Wilds is the best science fiction I've ever seen). All of this is about the base game; in the DLC, add a 2x multiplier to everything I've said, and it manages to be better than something that's already perfect. Just be careful because it has a lot of psychological horror elements and some jump scares, but for me, that made everything much better and more immersive. Trust me, you need to play this game. 10/10

It's a good experience. It's not usually my cup of tea, but many of the things I've seen here are unique and manage to stick with you. The music is Iconic, the "main tune" is stuck in my head. Yeah, the game is worth a shot even if you are usually not into this type of experience. On a side note: I hated the controls. Like, I'm glad I finished the game and I'm now free to never enter that death-machine ever again.

Genuinely one of the best games I have ever played ️ Fantastic sci-fi mystery game with cute and chill world! I cannot remember any other game that would give so much joy of adventure and discovery. It's amazing how well done this world is and how everything is sort of connected. You don't level up, collect or build anything in this game, the only thing that changes is your knowledge - and that is how your progress! +1 for those special Little Prince vibes.

This is problably my favorite game of all time, outer wilds is the perfect example of curiosity on a game, and because of that, you cant really say a lot about the game, but if you like puzzles and good lore, play this.

This is the best experience I've ever had with video games. Outer Wilds is a true masterpiece, and everyone should play it at least once in their lives.

Do you like 3D platforming, self-directed exploring, and puzzles? Do you dislike being directed where to go, prefer figuring it out on your own with little or no guidance? Are you okay with figuring out what to do but messing up a platforming step and then having to repeat the whole thing again, perhaps many times over? If you answer yes to all the above, then you might become one of those people who love recommending this very niche game to everyone and anyone. Me, I wasted $20.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

La máxima expresión de la curiosidad humana convertida en videojuego. En este simulador de exploración espacial, no hay puntos de experiencia, armas legendarias ni árboles de habilidades; tu única progresión real es el conocimiento que adquieres sobre un sistema solar atrapado en un bucle temporal de 22 minutos. Cada planeta es un puzle físico en sí mismo, desde astros que se caen a pedazos hacia un agujero negro hasta gemelos que intercambian su superficie como un reloj de arena cósmico. El juego te trata con un respeto absoluto, confiando en que serás capaz de descifrar una historia antigua leyendo jeroglíficos y observando las leyes de la física sin necesidad de que una flecha brillante te diga a dónde ir o qué interruptor pulsar. Es una experiencia que logra ser aterradora por la inmensidad del vacío y, al mismo tiempo, profundamente reconfortante por su mensaje sobre el legado, la ciencia y la aceptación del final. La sensación de "¡eureka!" que sientes al conectar dos pistas separadas por millones de kilómetros es incomparable a cualquier otro sistema de recompensa en la industria moderna. Es una obra maestra que, lamentablemente, solo puedes jugar de verdad una vez en la vida, porque una vez que comprendes los secretos del universo el viaje termina, pero el asombro y la crisis existencial positiva que te deja perduran para siempre.

This game is definitely very unique. I love storytelling that is just somebody telling you what is going on, but you, the player, figuring it out through stuff you find on your own. It is quite simmilar to Subnautica by this factor. The control and gameplay is fun. I feel like Cooper from Interstellar trying to land on some of these planets and you do feel like an astronaut with the gravity forces on you by the different stellar objects. My problem is that at the beginning it was very fun to explore the different planets but after like 15 hours I was kinda stuck and confused (even though I was constantly looking at the ship logs). Some puzzles are really hard and when you see their solutions you will be like "Come on, how was I supposed to figure this out!". The different endings are all very interesting and worth getting. The story is very good and compelling.

One of the greatest pieces of the gaming fiction. It gives you complete, COMPLETE freedom. Pick location where to start and if you are ready for the gameplay without shooting, grab your marshmallows, scanner and get ready for the adventure. It best to start a game without any spoilers. It has one of the most heartbreaking soundtracks that I am willing to listen to, even after full playthrough. Theme - "how you will cope with death... of entire universe?" will touch almost anyone, and feeling of direct relation to the story through different characters. Some of them will stay only as a dialogues on the wall and yet they will be more than just models but a separated travellers, that used to play in one band and maybe they will someday? Try to complete game without any guides or help, just be aware and if stuck go to another planet, maybe you will find answers there. This game can be completed only once, as your upgrades will become knowledge about this universe and ancient civilization. In the end this game only 22 minutes long, try it for yourself

Just unique. Its truly a game which you can only experience once but which is also one of a kind. Every single disvovery leads to bigger thing which really hooks you.

One of those games that comes out of nowhere and hits you like a truck and stays with you as long as you live. Just go in blind and try to make sense. Everyone might hit a dead end here or there, but keep pushing (or get a small hint online) and you'll enjoy every bit of it. I wasn't a big fan of the DLC, but it was still enjoyable.

Je ne m’attendais absolument à rien en lançant Outer Wilds. J’avais juste vu passer sur internet que c’était un jeu où il fallait “deviner la fin”, alors je me suis dit pourquoi pas… et au final, énorme claque. Ce que j’ai adoré en premier, c’est le côté exploration. On est complètement libre, livré à soi-même, et chaque découverte donne envie d’aller encore plus loin. L’idée du jeu est juste incroyable, tellement originale que ça change totalement de ce qu’on a l’habitude de voir. La variété des planètes est aussi un gros point fort : chacune a son ambiance, ses mécaniques, ses mystères. On ne se lasse jamais, et l’immersion est totale. On a vraiment l’impression de mener une enquête à l’échelle de l’univers. Mais ce qui m’a le plus marqué, c’est que ce jeu est unique. Aucun autre ne ressemble à Outer Wilds. Et comme le dit très bien The Great Review : «Ce n’est pas un jeu où on sauve le monde, mais où on comprend que c’est la fin. » C’est une expérience plus qu’un simple jeu, et clairement un 10/10 pour moi.

It's far from perfect, but it has a lot of interesting concepts that weigh up for it. Some aspects are frustrating, especially that your ship log isn't portable and that you can't really ask NPCs important questions that you most definitely will come across. A game where you feel like you have to Google stuff has design issues.

Top 1 des jeux que j'ai pu faire. Il est marquant, beau et émouvant. Ce jeu a de ces éléments qui marquent, un sentiment du début à la fin de nostalgie qui sera confirmé par le jeu... La musique, le game design, l'ambiance, l'histoire... Tout ne fait qu'un unique grand tout qui te pousse à l'exploration, à la découverte. L'histoire prend place dans un monde très beau, harmonieux et paisible qui s'offre à la découverte de l'espace et d'une race d'extraterrestres sympathiques et ultra avancé... La liberté qu'offre la narration est superbe, chaque énigme peut être comprise ou résolue par plusieurs manières différentes et dans l'ordre que l'on souhaite. Cette expérience est juste parfaite, je pense que c'est une des plus belles expériences qui m'est donné de jouer dans ma vie. Il vaut au moins un 10

Outer Wilds is a masterpiece of discovery and immersion. The non-linearity and the knowledge-based progression lead to impactful discoveries and a sense of adventure that one wishes would never end. The game feels extremely rewarding and fair, and the way the story is told ties perfectly with the game design. The story is impactful, emotional and excellently written

Outer Wilds really impressed me with its sense of discovery. Everything relies on curiosity and understanding the world rather than traditional progression, which feels quite rare. Exploring this solar system and slowly piecing together the mystery is incredibly satisfying. At times, the lack of clear objectives can be a bit frustrating. Still, the overall experience is truly unique.

Breathtakingly beautiful, constantly thoughtful in design, cosmically terrifying, and sadly, impossible to replay for the first time. Outer Wilds is one of the few video games that definitively prove the medium as a form of art

it's one of those games that can change your perspective of life in different ways, and i think everyone should experience outer wilds

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

This game changed my brain chemistry… I played it 7 years ago, replayed it once, and it remains my favorite, most impactful game of my life. Just the sheer otherworldliness of it… Nothing else has ever gotten anywhere close to capturing and inspiring that very particular feeling of wonder and the vastness of the universe and how much we don’t and do matter. It is a challenging puzzle game that does require some time to get into it (fair drawback) and a lot of trying over and over again to progress, so it can take quite a bit of time and patience. Personally I did use help and some spoilers in order to move forward more efficiently and not be frustrated. However, that did not take away from the experience of the game at all, because the narrative, the world-building, and the sense of immersion are so incredible and robust that they can easily withstand minor spoilers - it’s all about the experience of actively playing and putting yourself through this, which a spoiler cannot ruin. Of course nothing beats the satisfaction of figuring everything out by yourself (which is why I forgive the game for being a bit challenging - it provides a huge opportunity for a huge sense of reward), but I wanted to make this point that the game is worth playing even if you decide to take it easy. It’s still challenging enough as it is. The experience is so worth it!!! And the soundtrackkk makes me tear up every time

Need a little motivation to REALLY get into it but totally worth it. This game is so deeply rooted in my heart

it is utterly ridiculous that so many people have rated outer wilds a 10 on so many platforms, much less that anyone rated it a 10 at all. i've tried to play this 3 separate times over 3 years, every single time i quit before even leaving the opening area due to ridiculous control scheme issues. if the first thing we are doing is roasting a marshmallow, then you should make sure that you can actually roast a marshmallow. the inputs to get up and leave or to move the stick have a suggested input in the tutorial, but the crucial "extend stick" input thats listed after them has a blank space instead. i looked through the extremely simple key mapping today: there were no slots left empty, and besides that, this is how the game is behaving at default settings. how in the !#$% do you expect anyone to enjoy your game when the introductory experience is instantly broken? what is this, wake up and sit down at a campfire then log off simulator?

Literally the best game I have ever played in my entire life. The surprise of diving into this game and it turning into one of the best experiences I ever had was amazing. If you wanna play these games, avoid all kind of spoilers.

A ver, es un buen juego, pero a mí no me ha cambiado la vida como dice todo el mundo. La exploración es muy top y la música acompaña genial, pero gran parte del tiempo te la pasas sin entender absolutamente nada, y eso llega a cansar. Al final, es un juego de puzles espacial muy original y ya está; si no conectas con esa forma tan rara de contar las cosas, se queda en algo normalito. Está bien para echarle horas, pero para mí no es la obra maestra que pintan. un 7,2

I wanted to love this game, I really did. But I hate games who don't have any respect for my time. Overrated just for the sake of a wannabe deep message I thought of in kindergarden. People should have higher standards for "philosophical" games, you people will like anything that feels "smart".
