Which is why to get the most out of it you'll have to take onus on yourself to scratch a little deeper beneath the surface (sometimes literally).Īnd you should. Sure, the spectacle of each planet is beautiful to take in but beauty wears thin if you have nothing else to do. You will set out with the same three tools you started with each time (a remote camera, a sound detector and a translator), never gaining any new gear to help you reach the next advancement in story. Being set lose in a world where you have no particular objective and no real way to make an impact can be frustrating. With the complete lack of hand holding, I found myself feeling a little lost, without purpose. It’s here that my first frustrations began. You will wake up beside your camp fire, just as you did at the start of the game and you will stride out in to the universe as you did before, in a kind of Groundhog Day loop that is ever set at 20 minutes explore time.
The Sun will explode, destroying everything in your solar system as well as wiping all progress up until that point. After around 20 minutes you will be hit with a catastrophe that sets the stage for the rest of the game. Just floating there until your oxygen runs out and you have to start the loop again. If you have managed your fuel poorly, you’ll find yourself floating out in to space with no means to get back. You could damage your ship in space and have to get out to repair it. Some areas might have harsh gravities and require you to use your jets often to navigate their even harsher terrains. Resource management is a major factor in Outer Wilds and you’ll have to keep an eye on your fuel and oxygen levels in different ways, depending on where you are at the time. Each planet has its own flavour and rules all set to a mesmerising soundtrack reflective of its personality. To Brittle Hollow, who's surface is being sucked into a black hole at its core while you play. You’ll blast out of the atmosphere and be presented with an entire solar system just waiting to be explored.įrom planets like the Giants Deep and its harsh weather patterns that see islands literally being sucked up into tornadoes and hurtled across the planet’s surface.
