Pretty much just finishing up Outer Wilds +DLC, I just haven’t taken the time to collect some last scraps of information to close out some clues and then finish the game again (after now going through the DLC area). I had actually started this game up about 2 years ago, but got stuck and had some other things come up so that I put it aside. Then I resolved to just watch somebody else’s playthrough to spoil the game. I started by watching an astrophysicist playthrough, ‘Oliver Plays’ on Youtube. I watch as he starts out and relive some of my own experiences of discovering the early game, when suddenly in one of the episodes, I notice something small that brings me back to where I had been at in the game in my own playthrough and the solution instantly became clear. So I jumped back into it like I had never left and now I’ve pretty much about to finish the game.

I originally went in blind because of everything I kept reading about it being such a great game, blah blah blah. And it lived up to the hype, it was such an awesome experience going in completely blind (I didn’t even watch any trailers), but the shitty thing is, I can’t really talk about the game that much. So much depends on experiencing it for yourself and discovery, that saying anything about the game potentially spoils somebody else’s first experience with it, and I don’t want to take that away from anybody. It’s just such a beautiful gem of a game, I’ve not really played anything like that before (though I’ve read of some others that may be similar).
