Yeah this, it's becoming such a common cliche that you should instantly be able to assume what it is whenever someone says that.I honestly fuckin hate this, it's so obnoxious to see a game's description say something like "wholesome fun for the whole family! :D" and not know if it's an accurate description or just a weird lie. Wouldn't call Outer Wilds an example of that, though. It has spooky moments but less than e.g. Metroid Prime, just to pick another random "explore alien planets" game. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. ...

Xiahou_Shake 04/10/23 5:33:31 PM #21: |
Outer Wilds and Subnautica are both really funny cases because they can be either pants-shittingly terrifying or completely tame to the point of a player not understanding other people's reactions depending on specific phobias you may or may not have. I wouldn't really call either horror but they're simultaneously ridiculously effective at tapping into some legit primal fears in a way not too many other games even come close to, even if it doesn't always feel intentional. Anyway, tag - I'm so completely jealous that there are still people who get to experience this game for the first time. --- Let the voice of love take you higher, With this gathering power, go beyond even time! ...

Outer Wilds by its very nature is a bit spooky. Anything with the "alone in outer space" theme kind of naturally has those moments. And you combine that with being on a timer and that just adds to it. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> ... Copied to Clipboard!

the scale of this game was something special. You were essentially traveling through a diarama of a solar system, with planets separated by mere kilometers. Yet they still managed to make certain moments seem large and intense, like close encounters with the sun or the swirling waters of Giants Deep. You had these civilizations small in number pulling off extraordinary space exploits. We're driving a spaceship partially made up of wood, lol. They did such a good job of making it feel intimate yet isolating. --- Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I really do love the horror aspects of Outer Wilds. It mixes so well with the curiosity and wonder of exploring the planets. While it's exciting to find new areas and discoveries, it also carries a sense of danger, isolation, and the unknown.
