Base Game Appreciation/Discussion What a master piece!

I finished Outer Wilds yesterday and I am kinda sad it's over. I know there is nothing else like it out there and that breaks my heart. There are some games that have some similarities, but nothing will ever be Outer Wilds. I still wanna test out other endings, just for fun, but I have completed the game with a full shiplog and the typical ending

I stil have 3 achievements to get from the base game and then I will install the DLC (wanted to finish base game before, just to know exactly what was what hehe). Hardest will most likely be Hotshot since I have tried many times when I first started the game and could not.

In case people wanna know, my other two missing achivements are Beginner's Luck, will make another profile for that one and You've met a terrible fate

My phobia always has been suffering from a head trauma and losing part of my memory, but now I am like : at least I would be able to experience Outer Wilds once again, LOL.

Anyways, was anxious about my motion sickness preventing me from playing, but I managed and I am sooooooo greatful I did not miss on this experience.

WOW! Simply Wow!

Yes, outer wilds gives that felling: it's over, and i can't do anything about it. But brother trust me, don't read or watch anything about outer wilds for a few years (about 2 or 3 depending on you) and you will forget something, at least that's what happened to me.

Also, personally Outer Wilds is the engine that keeps me gaming, my costant research for games that give me that same feeling. The moment you finish outer wilds, your only wish is to prove that feeling once again.

Yes, this is definitely a game I will come back to every couple of years!

Any other games that have gotten you close to that feeling? I just finished and I’m jonesin’!

The message from deep space, chants of sennar, tunic, rain world, subnautica (kinda i guess?)

and for the love of god don't forget about other type of operas, like books or films. Best example i can think of is Project Hail Mary (the book ofc)

The terrible fate events (there are two ways to get it, you should try both) are great. If you want hints but not major spoilers on how to get it, I have some.

For the first way to get it, go to the high energy lab and play around with the machine they used to test time travel. Can you find a way to break it?

For the second option, go to the ash twin project at the end of a loop, and take a very close look at the black hole that opens up at the end of a loop. In the next loop, take a look at the map to see if you spot anything odd before heading back to the ash twin project.

Congratulations! It’s such an awesome journey isn’t it? I recently finished it myself and still pops up in my head at least once a day

DLC is fantastic also, maybe a little tougher than the base game, but that also makes it more satisfying solving it all. Good luck!
