Outer Wilds. I consider it the best video game ever made and I've spent quite some time thinking about if there's something I could add, change or remove that would improve it and so far I've yet to come up with anything of substance (beyond tiny QoL changes or reeeally nitpicky stuff).
I've just joined beehaw, this is my first browse, and one of the first comments I see is for Outer Wilds... Feels good. One of my favourite games / stories / media / art pieces ever. I love it and all of the brilliant minds behind it, I've never thought so about a game once finished anywhere near as much as this one.
I still need to get around playing the DLC but I feel like I'd need to watch a video to get caught up on the story. That said, yeah, the gameplay and story is absolutely incredible. Perfectly-executed mystery box.
You could always add the DLC :D (I'm half joking of course, but it's soooo good. I think it's on par, if not a little bit better, than the main game.)
Outer Wilds is one of the more interesting games to come out in recent memory, but personally I just didn't like the

fairly tight (for me) time limit. I like to do things at a slower pace for a variety of reasons, and I'd love to have a way to change the time scale so that things don't happen in just 20-something minutes.I know it theoretically gives you infinite time to explore and do stuff, but that one cycle is always ~20 minutes, and that's what I'd love to be able to slow down.
I adore that game, probably top 3 game of all time imo..... however if there's one thing that stops it being perfect for me it's the ship control.
Now I personally didn't have an issue with it, I think it fits in the games setting and overall theme rather well, but I know a lot of folks fell off the game hard because they really struggled to navigate the space ship.
Aside from that though, I totally agree.
