Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Every game I play is like "this is good, but it's no Outer Wilds..."
Yup, this one.
If I can play a game where I both have sweaty palms desperately trying to match the needed fast paced escape velocity for a solar station landing, but also have quiet moments where I put down the controller and think about my life while waiting patiently for an end I know is coming... Then that is the best game.
Just finished Outer Wilds yesterday and it definitely shot up to my top 10. Nothing could beat Portal so far though...
I think with Outer Wilds and Obra Dinn I realized that "Information games" are just my absolute favourite genre of games. Portal is incredible, but more a regular puzzle game than an information game.
