Amen. I have a friend who is also really into gaming and he refuses to play it because he said it looks boring lmao. It's a shame his stubbornness will keep him from playing one of the greatest games ever made.
@@bestsnowboarderuknow me too, i have a friend that never plays what his friends suggests but i always see him playing whatever has a lot of marketing involving. I really think that everyone should play outer wilds, as well as any gta, few games fits this.
I need to say, if you are reading this and haven't played it. Stop, play the game and come back, he spoils a bit and its MUCH better to experience this without any knowledge of what your doing
Great video and agree 100%. Only thing I would add to what sends the game into the next level is the MUSIC. It's possibly the finest score of any video game made and will stay with you long long after you've finished it. Glad you had it as the backing track to your vid. Roll on a sequel!!
You mention the minute-to-minute gameplay, but I just want to add that some of my favorite moments from "playing" this game were from having sudden epiphanies while going about my normal day. At one point in my playthough I even ended up on vacation for a week, and when I came back home I rushed to my computer to try out all the ideas I had built up and to explore what I had only grown more curious about.
I can see why he got that messed up. If he didn’t pay attention to the in lore description of the time, and maybe didn’t notice that the game pauses the clock often when reading dialogue, to also add the fact that the in game clock doesn’t start until after you receive the launch codes, it makes sense you could miss it. Especially if your just rushing the play through just to get a video out on it.
My 22 minutes turned into 99 hours surprisingly fast. Echoes of the Eye was as good or better than the original. These devs really hit this one out of the park.
I thought about the same thing when I saw the game and I can tell you, once I played. I have been OBSESSED with the game. The DLC makes things even better and well it’s the best game and I was talking about it so long all my friends literally had to buy it just to find out why I liked it so much. Also wonderful video, you like outer wilds are underrated.
This is by far my favourite game of all time. loved it so much that I bought a keyboard just so I could learn to play Solanums song. I really wish I could go back in time through someone else's time loop and play it for the first time again.
You are actually underrated, this was a great video with great pacing for a video made 2 years ago and still having under 300 subscribers, its criminal
Spoilers The "I want to go somewhere no one's gone before." dialogue option with Hornfels at 5:39 is really interesting, because there's never actually an area in the game that nobody has been to before. Every planet and moon has Nomai ruins, and even the eye of the universe has had some sort of conscious observer in it before, because you aren't in the very first universe.
ENDING SPOILERS I guess you could say that this universes iteration if the Eye is somewhere where nobody else has ever been, since I doubt that anyone who has ever entered the Eye in previous universes has gone through the same process that you have, finding their friends in a dark forest using a signalscope
I think the line "I wonder what would happen if a conscious observer were to enter the eye" sort of sets you up to be the only person (in this universe at least) who will see the end of it all, and thats pretty damn special
I stumbled on this game a few weeks ago and accidentally changed my life and how I view games in general, I wasn't sure how I felt at first but was totally sold in the first 22 mins. I did most of the story, then did the DLC right b4 the end, and I wasn't prepared for the strong emotions it would bring out when it all came together. now I'm like the rest of u, wishing to be able to go back and experience it again. def worth it for anyone who needs a break from shooting everything in the face
I stopped playing this game for a about a month because of having to leave for about 16 days to a trip, I fell for the search on the internet how to achieve some puzzle's in game. I'm sure I will never forget the stuff I searched up, that will make it not the same experience I wanted to have, but when watching the beginning of this video with some cutscenes of some places plus the music, it made me cry. So much love for this game, but it's something, like everyone say's, you can only experience once.
If I've somehow caught you before you've watched this video, and you have not played this game - please do not watch. The best way to play this game is without a single idea of what to expect. I received this advice when reading a forum and was so glad I did
Im so happy i knew at first glance Im gonna play it and dont let me get spoiled, the supernova part and the time loop were already awesome, the game felt so big and open and it was awesome now I wish to remove that knowledge and play it over again
Everyone who plays it says it’s one of their favorite game of all time. And many others, including myself, confidently say that it IS their favorite game of all time.
Outer Wilds had a raw deal for being published the same year as The Outer Worlds, also a sci-fi game, *AND* Outward, also an exploration game. I swear someone pulled a prank over creative directors in 2019/2020. Thankfully Outer Wilds managed to pull its own weight, especially when the DLC came out.
For clarification: The three games made it the worst experience trying to talk to someone about Outward or Outer Wilds and have everybody say "Oh yeah, the space Bioshock? Yeah it looks cool." because The Outer Worlds had comparatively a *massive* advertisement setup. And when you have to clarify "Not Outer _Worlds,_ Outer *Wilds* / Out *ward!* ", you're already losing half of the person's interest only because you had to correct them.
One of the things that sets this game apart is that it is itself a puzzle. The only thing that stops you from completing it is information and knowledge. I've just recently played this earlier this year and I still am finding things in the game I had no clue were there
Yes. This game makes itself known in your brain and cannot be easily forgotten. It's like the salmon that swims up the stream. It's almost too good to tell anyone about, because, playing it feels like a privilege
**VERY IMPORTANT TO ANYONE NEW LOOKING TO PLAY THE GAME!!** DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO, HAVE A COMPLETELY BLIND EXPERIENCE! It's what makes this whole game so good, and the mystery of it all it phenomenal!!! Just enjoy it yourself, and I promise you won't be dissapointed
Everyones played this lmao. And yeah. It is eerily close. Outer Wilds has been known about for 7 years prior to its launch. Why the fuck did Outer Worlds steal its name?
It is exactly gushing and praise like this that got me to buy and play Outer Wilds. I thought, "Finally! A game that was made exactly for me!" Then, it was personally playing Outer Wilds myself that made me never, ever, ever listen to gushing and praise like this ever again. Outer Wilds is shit. It's a shitty excuse for a game, and a complete waste of money and time.
I almost am starting to believe that all of these people work for the company that made the game. It's not good. I had people in my Twitch chat and other randoms telling me how amazing it is. It's not that fun to play lol.
Those are very strong words for someone bound to the strings of conventional gaming with no hint of intrinsic motivation in their bones whatsoever. The game instils curiosity and that's the main driving factor for progression, and if you just don't have it, you won't enjoy the game! Simple. Certainly not the game's fault, more like you need to stop expecting absolutely everything to cater to your exact needs.
@@chefaahz I would not be playing Outer Wilds on Twitch. Too many people backseating. Its a game to be experienced on your own. Take your time with it if you ever try again. Its loved for being unique so that of course means some wont like it because its too different from what they-re used to. If you ever play it again. Give it a chance and work through whatever issues you have with it. ( Imma guess the controls lol. ) Itll be worth it in the end. Regardless. You have a nice day!
I'm 51 and I've been an avid gamer since I was a kid and Outer Wilds is the best game I've ever played.
Amen. I have a friend who is also really into gaming and he refuses to play it because he said it looks boring lmao. It's a shame his stubbornness will keep him from playing one of the greatest games ever made.
Im curious, what were the main genre you played? And what were the first ones?
@@bestsnowboarderuknow me too, i have a friend that never plays what his friends suggests but i always see him playing whatever has a lot of marketing involving. I really think that everyone should play outer wilds, as well as any gta, few games fits this.

funny enough I agree with this 100%
When I played, the probe canon shot directly at me and it landed on me and killed me. I got an achievement. Great video
There’s no achievement for that
@@AlternateRealityMusic die before 30 seconds
You're lying
@@AlternateRealityMusic iirc there's an achievement for finding and going to the probe
Great video and agree 100%. Only thing I would add to what sends the game into the next level is the MUSIC. It's possibly the finest score of any video game made and will stay with you long long after you've finished it. Glad you had it as the backing track to your vid. Roll on a sequel!!
Yes Im ashamed for not mentioning this
For a good month now I have only listened to outer wilds OST.
I think the Ori games have a better soundtrack, and I'm sure there are a lot of better ones. It is still very memorable indeed though.
You mention the minute-to-minute gameplay, but I just want to add that some of my favorite moments from "playing" this game were from having sudden epiphanies while going about my normal day. At one point in my playthough I even ended up on vacation for a week, and when I came back home I rushed to my computer to try out all the ideas I had built up and to explore what I had only grown more curious about.
Absolutely! This was the number one thing that separated this game from the rest for me, and there's a whole list of things.
**22** minutes
Me, while watching the video:
"*22 minutes...
[A minute or two later]
*22 minutes...
[A couple minutes later]
*22 minutes..."
I can see why he got that messed up. If he didn’t pay attention to the in lore description of the time, and maybe didn’t notice that the game pauses the clock often when reading dialogue, to also add the fact that the in game clock doesn’t start until after you receive the launch codes, it makes sense you could miss it.

I thought 22 minutes, looked at the comments and smiled to yours haha
🙃 I was silly
My 22 minutes turned into 99 hours surprisingly fast. Echoes of the Eye was as good or better than the original. These devs really hit this one out of the park.
22 minutes actually
Really enjoyed the video. Finished the game yesterday and you captured the feel very well. Nice work!

this video is absolutely hilarious, I hope you continue making amazing videos like this!
I literally cried with the music at the beginning of the video, again...

@@tabnk2 yeah, that’s true, but I don’t know if any of that was even real. Also, thanks for reminding me to put a spoiler warning on my comment.
But... You do. You go to see what's next after this end. And no one's done seen that before
I think the line "I wonder what would happen if a conscious observer were to enter the eye" sort of sets you up to be the only person (in this universe at least) who will see the end of it all, and thats pretty damn special

Hmmmmmm I don't think I'll watch you talk about the ending. I'll just go check it out. Thanks man!

Just disconnect yourself from the ATP so it stops sending your memory back.
I loved the video dude. I think you did a great job.

occasionally i look at the negative steam reviews for this game to make fun of them
It’s one of my all time favorites as well

Cause this is best experience 100% blind

Yup loved this game
God how many times are you gonna try and get me to play the outerwilds
The torture ends when the game is played
@@maxnchief it never ends
@@maxnchief no that’s when the torture begins. Its a Greek tragedy where all you want to to do is go back to when you hadn’t played it yet.
VERY late response, but there is a mod that lets you remove the anglerfish, DBs fog or both. Its called "Light Bramble"
"there's no breaks in space" so true it hurts xD
commenting for algorithm, more people need to play this
nostalgia
awesome vid!
2:26 “Gravity is a harness”
I have played it and it is the best game I ever played.
Awesome video!
Nice Video bro
good vid
New players, warning, this video contains some spoilerly imagery.
you should do a spoiler free version
You definitely won't like what I'm about to upload today then
Don't look this video. Just begin to play.
I feel bad because I think I’m the only person let down by the outer wilds
Everyones played this lmao.
And yeah. It is eerily close. Outer Wilds has been known about for 7 years prior to its launch. Why the fuck did Outer Worlds steal its name?
but I did play it...
