to clarify, this is the Corporate Hellscape in Space rpg "Outer WORLDS", not the comfy mystery game (with existential dread elements) "Outer WILDS".

Man. Such a shame those games came out at the same time with effectively the same name

Outer Wilds is probably older. There was a prototype in 2012 for the guy's master's thesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2AIOT24MWk

And I remember playing a beta version 3 years before release or so with a few less planets and much more primitive graphics.

Haven't tried worlds yet but wilds is a masterpiece that blew my mind and ruined other games for me. Might be my top game of all time.

I just started (Outer Wilds) the other day. Not sure what I'm doing, lol. I died the first three times by not wearing a suit. I bought it purely on the recommendation on another Lemming (Lemmy user?) and they said just get into it and don't look into anything else. Looking forward to just trying things on my next run.

You lucky bastard (a lot of people wish they can experience the game for the first time again). Have fun!

Yea, I watched a streamer play it (RT GAMES) and it's the only game of his I wished I never watched, and just played myself

I had a few things spoiled for me unfortunately, but the spoiler was so cool it prompted me to try the game, so net win? Lol, I'm jealous you get to go in blind! Can't wait till I have Alzheimer's and I can replay it for the first time. It's definitely a game that encourages you to just try things to see what happens, I love it :)

Good luck, I also bought it on recommendation and did not enjoy it. If you're curious why let me know, I don't want to shape your opinion on the game with my opinions.

Thx for the hint, it's on Steam x-mas sale btw., including the DLC

[-] ekZepp@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

Yep, i also mistake them the first time.

It also certainly doesn't help me remembering which is which when in Outer WILDS you explore different worlds and in Outer WORLDS the tutorial area is kind of an overgrown wilds in which you explore very few worlds. When I have to talk about either one of them I just say "You know, the one with the crazy gravity physics and planets" or "You know, the one that's basically just Firefly the video game."
