(edit: vague spoilers for outer wilds + dlc!)

If I had a nickle for every time an exploration-based game partially inspired by the failure of skyward sword involved uncovering the ruins of an ancient civilization of goat-like creatures with three eyes, included time travel as both a major story and gameplay element, had a blue aesthetic for an advanced ancient civilization, and then had a follow-up with a new, previously unknown ancient civilization that has a green aesthetic, I'd have two nickles.

Oi, careful with the Outer Wilds spoilers. That game is the last game people should know anything about before playing fpr the first time.

Ive seen so many posts by people who trashed the game after not even getting to the start of the time loop, calling it a bad walking sim with nothing to do.

Modern games have programmed people to be incurious and intellectually lazy

I agree that a lot of modern games hold the hand too much, but I found Outer Wilds to be the opposite for me, too obtuse and open to get a grip on the gameplay loop. If you dig that, more power to you, for me it was too much.

I disagree but I'm too intellectually lazy to bother with a well thought out response
