How to explain Outer Wild2019 passthecontroller Game of the Year, without making it great?
That’s surprisingly difficult. Because the more you explain it, the less mysterious it is and keeping the mystery alive is a big part of the game’s appeal.
Here’s how Colin Campbell started polygons Outer Wild review:
Outer Wild is a non-violent, first-person exploration puzzle game set in a solar system littered with fun mystery. The secrets are scattered throughout the swirling errery of the planets I investigate and investigate.
It’s a stone-cold truth from a useful mechanical standpoint. That is an important and incomplete part of the explanation. You should know what you are doing.
Things are magic Outer Wild It’s as philosophical as it is mechanical. That’s why Chelsea Stark started out this Game of the Year essay.
The game has long stuck with the human quest to play settlers, conquerors, or anthropologists.
but Outer Wild Without a focus on violence or domination, it offers one of the most ambitious discovery stories I have seen in the game. It’s a victory that we at passthecontroller are happy to declare our Game of the Year 2019.
So yes, Outer Wild Tell the story of an alien species with an adorable wooden spaceship exploring the solar system. The very process of doing so reveals a corrupt and tragic mystery. –passthecontroller Staff
