I cannot believe I completed this game. There were so many times where I wanted to give up, especially in the DLC, but for some reason I kept coming back. Outer Wilds does a fantastic job of keeping the player hooked from start to finish; rather than forcing all the lore on you, it's up to you to uncover the story at your own pace (albeit within the time limit). I found myself genuinely enjoying all the story that my tiny pea brain could comprehend. The characters are very simple but enjoyable, The soundtrack is a magnificent work of art, I found myself just signaling in on Riebeck only to listen to the music he was playing. The ending is very similar to Majoras Mask's Kafei Quest, in which you are in a race against the clock to get a certain thing done on time; it really gets your heart racing. Outer Wilds is a game you only really experience once, and that's alright.
