Once again, I had this whole game stuck in my head for days after finishing it. I adored Outer Wilds, and this expansion was more of the same in the best way.

Although I didn't feel like it quite reached the highs of the base game, it was a 10-hour rollercoaster of tight puzzle design and a new mystery that totally drew me in. The horror elements didn't quite gel with me at first, but they really grew on me after a while, especially once I'd figured out how to get around them (which I think you can do in almost all cases, although probably not without hindsight). I also really appreciated the small changes to the main game ending, which I revisited after the expansion.
