The Outer Wilds is the single greatest video game I've ever played from a critical standpoint. I'm not sure if I'd call it my personal favorite video game, but it is the single game that I feel is the absolute closest to perfection.

The controls and some aspects of the game's worlds can be trying and frustrating, but they're not at all bad. They simply take learning and getting used to, that is the point. The game overall focuses on testing your patience and sense of exploration.

You cannot fail. You can only give up.
Do. Not. Give. Up. In the end, it'll all be worth it.
