I don't know, but I want my $15 back. I waited too long for it to get good.
Asher Turner
What? You don't like walking around reading text on walls?

Midwits enjoy having “the pieces click” as the only pride they’ll be able to derive from their ~105 IQ
Ayden Martin
Seems people either love it or go "what's the big deal?"
For me it is easily one of the best of the decade.
Justin Wright
Thanks for the thread about an actual good game OP. Hearthbros and slugbros, how can I complete the trinity?
Jaxson Torres
Firewatch.
Adam Baker
I have an IQ of 140 and I thoroughly enjoyed this game
Kayden Price
Because gamers and their journalists/critics really think walking and solving puzzles is really profound.

Obra Dinn

>doesn't hold your hand
>almost immediately throws you into the main game
>lets you go at whatever pace you want without gatekeeping you from anything
>no obnoxious cutscenes/removal of player interaction
Just these alone is enough to warrant some admiration for. I also like the setting and story
Ian Foster
Yeah, however the gameplay sucks
Brayden Evans
Different strokes for different folks. Sorry you got sucked into a glorified walking simulator
Evan Adams
Because it's genuinely that good.
Camden Walker
>Any Forums hates walking simulators
>loves this piece of shit
Amazing

>>doesn't hold your hand
More like doesn't tell you shit about anything including how the game works or what the goal is.
Samuel Bennett
You walk around and try to figure out shit. I don’t know. Its just stupid. I only kept playing because of sunk cost fallacy. Not because it was fun. The dark brambles part of it at least seemed somewhat cool, but it honestly just made me want to play a space horror game
Matthew Smith
>More like doesn't tell you shit about anything including how the game works
You literally start on a tutorial planet that tells you nearly every mechanic you will use
>or what the goal is
nigger use your imagination and sense of curiosity. There are numerous events that happen before you even leave the planet that clue you in on what to do.
Luke Williams
A lot of money spent on marketing can make even the shittiest game popular.
Austin Sanchez
Pathologic 2
Jordan Rodriguez
Why don't zoomers have a sense of adventure?
Joshua Garcia
Outer Wilds in VR is kino
Jason Phillips
it's a physics puzzle game and exploration with comfy vibes.
it would be like calling portal boring
Brayden Rogers
seconding return of the obra dinn, my top three games right here
Joshua Flores
I get why a lot of people like it. It just didn't hold my imagination long past getting good at piloting and after uncovering a couple of the "big" mysteries. Bill Murray did it better.
Ian Garcia
It's sense of adventure, mystery, and the way the unique mechanics of each planet work are beautifully crafted and unmatched. You really do feel like a real space explorer / archeologist tryin to figure shit out.
It just sucks because there is no replayability and the "story" bears no weight at all despite the dissapearance of the Nomai being such a hot topic for the entire game
Connor Watson
I got it on the series S with gamepass yet the game is still 30fps there? I'm gonna play it anyway but it was kind of a bummer
Oliver Hall

Elaborate
Matthew Ward
Except that Portal is 2 hours long. Outer Wilds is a slug and the puzzles aren't as fresh as Portal.
Joseph Sullivan
Better question: To those who call Outer Wilds a "walking simulator", what would you call pic related?
