[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.

spoilerIt's a shocking revelation when you discover the sun station doesn't even do anything, when up to that point you might think to yourself that it's the sun station that causes the supernova.

spoilerUp until that point many players will have thought they could stop the supernova, that they could save everyone, they thought that was the point of the game, how you won. To then be faced with the fact that there is no stopping it and that the star has just reached it's end. It's like getting a bucket of ice water dropped on you realizing that there is no saving anyone, everyone will die, this system will be destroyed, this universe will end.

Accepting that end is hard, but I think the ending showing that all ending are also new beginnings, that everything is built on what came before goes a long way to letting people be ok with it.

Fuck I love this game.
