I have whole-heartedly recommended this game to people, but will they like it as much as me? I also think this nervousness comes from the way I’ve talked up the game. I like the fact that I’m nervous about a game in this way because it shows that I really love it, but I think it also shows favoritism. While I could see myself feeling this way about a couple other games, I think being nervous about something like this isn’t right. Why would I be nervous about replaying a game? Well, I don’t want to rupture the incredible experience I had with the game the first time around. I then thought about this nervousness in regards to favoritism. What if I didn’t like it the second time around? What if I remember too much to have any fun with it? It’s been a year, but I did watch bits and pieces of a friend play the game more recently, and even if I didn’t watch my friend play I think instinct would kick in with going through the motions a second time around. Straight off the bat, I was nervous jumping back in. So, I decided to start a new save and play from the beginning. Also, I wanted to see if this DLC would fit in nicely with the rest of the game or if it would stick out like a sore thumb. It wasn’t that long ago that I played Deathloop, and I think comparing and contrasting the two games with a fresh Outer Wilds experience would be interesting.
I wanted to see if my thoughts on this game held up and dive back into the main game a bit for a refresher. More than just play the DLC, I wanted to explore this game again. With my paragraph-long spoiler warning out of the way, let’s get into it. If you already have played the main game but haven’t touched the DLC yet, I would recommend going straight to the DLC (don’t restart the game) then coming back here. So if you do want to read this piece, I would recommend playing through the main in its entirety, reading my first blog on the game, then play through the DLC in its entirety, then give this blog a gander. I would love to tell you why you should play this game more than anything else right now, but part of what makes this game so special is going into it blind. Also, for those who haven’t played the expansion or the game as a whole, I ask that you do not read this. It’s good to be back.īefore I get into it, I would recommend checking out the blog I put out on the main game a year ago.

This may not look great for my writing, and I am of course willing to change this answer if the situation arises, but Outer Wilds is my favorite video game, full stop. Recently, Outer Wilds developers Mobius Digital released DLC for the game called Echoes of the Eye, and I recently just got done playing through it. No matter what, I still thought it was a great game, but was it as great as I remember? Given the nature of this game, it’s hard to go back and have the same experience the second time around, so I couldn’t really put it to the test. Over the year, I started to question my ride-or-die loyalty to the game. I still wouldn’t say it was my favorite game, but it would be the first game I recommend to people and the first game on my mind whenever I thought about favorites. There are so few experiences I’ve had with video games that’s as powerful and passionate as the experience I had with that game. My feelings on favoritism changed a bit, however, when I first played Outer Wilds just one year prior.
Outer wilds reduced frights movie#
With how much I have yet to experience, how could I possibly have a favorite movie, for example, if another movie I like even more is just on my viewing horizon? Plus, I’m a pretty indecisive person and I think having favorites can lead to favoritism (shocking, I know), so I mostly steer clear from favorites especially with video games for the sake of my writing “career.” I do have favorites with specific categories (my favorite caramel chocolate is made by Ghirardelli and my favorite film of 2021 so far is Pig, for example), but trying to have a favorite in a broad category is a bit daunting. Favorite movie, favorite food, favorite book, and so on will all get the same answer from me: I don’t have one. If you were to ask me my favorites of most broad categories, I wouldn’t give you an answer.
