A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Outer Wilds is on sale. Great game if you like space, puzzles or platforming!

My personal greatest game of all time. Do go on blind tho.

I went in blind and gave up after about 3 hours. I have no idea what the fuck is going on, which makes it too easy to die to the same thing over and over again, because I can't remember which paths lead to progress and which ones lead to death.

Outer Wilds is a game for normies with a good memory and proper motor skills.

If you're still willing to give the game a shot, there is the expiditon log in your ship which keeps that's off all your discoveries and keep bulletpoints on the important bits of knowledge. It also allows you to track the corresponding location should you wish to visit it again to dig deeper.

I think it's expected to be overwhelmed at first. Maybe try to stick to one clue and follow it trough before going out into a another part of the world.

People keep telling me that but my "expedition log" is always empty as far as I can tell.

Absolutely, what i would give to play again with no knowledge

I’ve still never beaten it. I’m near the end I’m pretty sure. Great game.

You're always near the end.
