I just started (Outer Wilds) the other day. Not sure what I’m doing, lol. I died the first three times by not wearing a suit. I bought it purely on the recommendation on another Lemming (Lemmy user?) and they said just get into it and don’t look into anything else. Looking forward to just trying things on my next run.
Good luck, I also bought it on recommendation and did not enjoy it. If you’re curious why let me know, I don’t want to shape your opinion on the game with my opinions.
It also certainly doesn’t help me remembering which is which when in Outer WILDS you explore different worlds and in Outer WORLDS the tutorial area is kind of an overgrown wilds in which you explore very few worlds. When I have to talk about either one of them I just say “You know, the one with the crazy gravity physics and planets” or “You know, the one that’s basically just Firefly the video game.”
to clarify, this is the Corporate Hellscape in Space rpg “Outer WORLDS”, not the comfy mystery game (with existential dread elements) “Outer WILDS”.
Yep, i also mistake them the first time.

Outer wilds is very well regarded. I’ve only ever heard good things about it. I got it on sale recently and planning on checking it out soon.
Outer wilds is genuinely one of my favorite gaming experiences of the last decade
Man. Such a shame those games came out at the same time with effectively the same name
Outer Wilds is probably older. There was a prototype in 2012 for the guy’s master’s thesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2AIOT24MWk
And I remember playing a beta version 3 years before release or so with a few less planets and much more primitive graphics.
Haven’t tried worlds yet but wilds is a masterpiece that blew my mind and ruined other games for me. Might be my top game of all time.
Thx for the hint, it’s on Steam x-mas sale btw., including the DLC

Yea, I watched a streamer play it (RT GAMES) and it’s the only game of his I wished I never watched, and just played myself

You lucky bastard (a lot of people wish they can experience the game for the first time again). Have fun!
This is the reason I own it already

It’s even more confusing talking about the game because you can fly your ship into the sun in both.
