[Possible spoilers] For those who played Outer Wilds, what was your favourite part of the game or your most "Ha-Ha!" discovery ? (beehaw.org)

There will be spoilers for the game and the DLC in my text and the comments

If you don't want to be spoiled, play the game first, it's a really really nice game that's best when discovered

My favourite moment for the game (as for most players), was when I fetched the Warp Core and had to go to the Nomai Ship. The music made my heart beat so much, and the trip seemed so friggin long.

But my best discovery within the game is understanding how simply turning off the flashlight would be enough to make the quantum objects move. It was so satisfying discovering it for the first time.

Oof, hard to choose.

When I figured out how to "lock" and go to the quantum moon, was my favorite moment.

Realizing I turned off the game loop by stealing the warp core was a moment of beautiful stressful panic, a close second.

It's such a shame I used online guides for some parts of the game (such as the quantum moon tower puzzle). I think if I pushed a little harder, I would have been much more satisfying !

It's still crazy to me how they thought out all of the mechanics of the game like the quantum objects not moving when observed by a photograph.

I looked up hints at a few points. Felt a bit bad about it, but on the other hand it's highly likely I'd have taken one too many and too long frustration breaks and just ended up forgetting to finish it.

Agreed. Sometimes, it's might be better to get some help, and still finish the game than to get too frustrated.

I had to look up a bunch of things too.

Stuff like how the Ash Twin teleporter worked to get into the core felt like a bit of a leap of logic, which isn't helped by the sand tornado whisking you up into the air if you're not careful.

Dark Bramble's red node, which is guarded by a bunch of those fishies, is more on me though haha. I didn't quite put 2 and 2 together to not use the engine at all to pass by silently, despite the game very intentionally teaching us that they're blind and rely on sound.
