Watch Out for Fireballs! 307: Outer Wilds (Premium)
Added 2021-02-15 23:06:53 +0000 UTCThe bad news is you only have 22 minutes. The good news is, you have as many 22 minutes as you need. Outer Wilds is a plucky, optimistic game about horrifying circumstances. You stand alone in the footsteps of an ancient civilization, working hard to figure out why your solar system keeps exploding. To do this, you have to fly from planet to planet and navigate hostile conditions, learning as much as you can on each loop. The mechanics may or may not work for you, but the tone and the ending are best in class.
Thank you Fenreliania for producing this episode! And thank you, everyone, for being patient as we navigate Gary's back injury.

2021-02-16 19:19:25 +0000 UTCI think the game's general coldness is why the ending didn't work for me. I guess it felt unearned? You compared it to Disco Elysium, which ended on kind of a similarly optimistic note but was ALL about character.

2021-02-16 07:42:22 +0000 UTCThe reviews I read of this game focused so much on the mechanics it made it sound like a tech demo to me. I'll check it out now that I know the world is much more involved than that
