I'm kind of glad that I didn't know it was a time loop game when I played it because let me tell you about how real my terror was when I lifted off from having explored the moon for the first time and the sun started exploding.

[nickporter]

The "true" ending gives me chills to this day.
One of my biggest gaming regrets is that I can't play this again for the first time.
Also, the DLC is amazing.

"Going out without your suit... and dying."

Outer Wilds rite of passage. Everyone does it once.

[pacocheung]

This game redefines the meaning of "Here comes the sun"

[chriswelter]

Flying into that bramble planet and getting eaten by a giant angler fish was literally the most intense jump scare I had ever experienced in a video game. Probably because I wasn't expecting any type of jump scare in a game like this. Had to put the controller down after that one

[jdubois]

One of the coolest games I've ever played and it definitely does have an ending.

[SableTwoSeven]

This game hit my feels so hard. The soundtrack. The animation. 10/10 would recommend.

[rence]

I broke down crying at minimum 2 times playing this game, once for the base game and a much harder breakdown for the DLC
11/10

[SuperBigLuigi]

This game brilliantly encapsulated my excitement, terror, and curiosity towards space like no other game. Everyone should check this game out!

[beegyoshi]

What? Outer Wilds definitely has an ending, and it is an amazing one.

[patrickabby]

Literally my favorite game. I’d give anything to play it again for the first time.

[Dagens]

I don't know if Outer Wilds is the best game I've ever played, but it was certainly the most impactful. It moved me on an existential level and for over a year there wasn't a day that went by that I didn't think of it the game. It shifted my philosophy and outlook on life.

[lordofblocks]

I understand why the game frustrated many people but for me it became my favourite game ever (including DLC), at least for the time being. Thanks for doing an Honest Trailer on it!

[tthien]

So glad to see this game still getting recognition even three years after release. If I have alzheimer in the future, playing this game repeatedly would be the silver lining.

[more-reasons]

This is hands down the best game I've ever played and it's a shame I can never have that first time feel again

This feels like the only game that captures the medium perfectly, this story has to be experienced the way it's presented unlike how most games could easily be turned into a film, series, book, board game, etc

[Twick]

Easily one of the best games of the decade.

[johnnybensonitis]

"C'mon, play for 20 minutes!" Took me like 3 months to really get into this game, than I played like a mad bastard who was simply unable to stop. Also, excellent vid, totally nailed it & condensed the experience!

[TheOblomoff]

Ah come on, end the joke!
-Undercooked.
-And there's The Sun. Now it's definitely too crunchy.

[icraftmusic]

This game is an absolute gem, I feel that there's so much more than what's in this video that I recommend you play it yourself, sincerely. I watched sovietwomble play it on Twitch and it was amazing.

[ashiagefa]

I haven't played any instruments since I was 5, I was being forced by parents, but this game made me start playing music again 20 more years later, I'm even a hardcore shooting, sim racing, watching stats grow gamer, this game really changed me, I'm still a shooter, racer, RPG nerd, but I now play with Outer Wilds music and its spirit in my head.
