Outer Wilds is truly unique game in the sence that your motivation for exploring and discovering new information is entirely fuelled by your own curiosity. The feeling of triumph you get after solving another mystery is comparable and sometimes even higher, than after defeating a difficult boss in another game. Outer Wilds gives the player full freedom in exploring anything they want, when they want it, and althought it may be imposing at first, you'll learn a lot and will be able to set your own goals without the need of a quest marker. All in all Outer Wilds is my favourite game of all time and is absolutely best expirienced BLIND, so buy it and have the time of your life! ;;)

I assume you've played through the entire game and reached the ending, if not this is your last chance to stop reading!
One of Outer Wilds' main mechanics: the Time Loop - is increadibly effective at setting the player's curiosity off, as "What the hell just happened and why?" - is probably every player's reaction upon seeing the Nomai statue open its eyes. This first encounter definitely sets the atmosphere for our solar system. It's filled with the most bizarre and amazing planets each with tonnes of mysteries to solve to get to the bottom of the truth. It's amazaing how each planet is unique and requires mastering diffirent mechanics to solve, the clues to which are almost always hidden on other planets. But personally, I think that the charachters and story are the main focus of the game. The Nomai's story is incredibly tragic, that all of their struggles never amounted to anything. But only through connecting with the other travellers and learning about the Nomai's history are we able to find the Eye and finish what was started 290000 years ago. And only thanks to our curiosity can the universe be created anew, which is the perfect ending for such an emotional and unforgettable expirience!
