Have you played a game that stayed in your head long after you played it?

For me, Outer Wilds would be that game. I feel like I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I beat it a couple years ago.

  • No, absolutely start from scratch, the game is meant to be replayed. It’s one of the few games that implements ‘fail forward’ very successfully, and sometimes failure leads to better outcomes than success. It’s also a good way of organically making the player explore different avenues, both to get experience to improve attributes to try white checks again, and for finding thoughts and items that can reopen them.

    The game’s incredibly warm, except perhaps to fascist routes, and despite the bleakness of Martinaise, there is something very comforting and wholesome about it all.
