I've been thinking about what to write in this review since I beat even just the base game. That was nearly a year ago. I'll open up with saying if reading is something you'll get bored of, even if it's combined with simple yet challenging gameplay, a stunning soundtrack, and possibly the most unique progression system a game's ever offered, take this review with a grain of salt.

This game is the only game that has denied me the chance to replay it. It isn't exaggeration to say I think about this game hourly, and I have since completion. While none of my friends were able to allow themselves to be captured by the game, I think it's one of the best games I've ever played, and I can't recommend it enough, simply for the story, its message, and by extension its lesson. Buy it. Even if you wind up not liking it, spending what is at most 25 dollars for a possible life-changing story that will change the way you think is priceless.

I think the biggest wall this game presents to new players is breaking the "all text is filler for worldbuilding" idea that a lot of games inspire in their players, leading to most of it being skipped (honestly, I do this a lot.) I was told some great advice to get around it when I started Outer Wilds, which I've been repeating to my friends. "Usually text in games is to add meat on the bones, but here, the text ARE the bones." It goes without saying, but having the patience to adapt to this change will help a lot. Even if you can't totally get what the text is saying, trust me, by the time you reach the end, you'll have it all understood. If you're anything like me, the "oh I get it!!" moments in this game will be something you'll chase for a really, really long time!

So to wrap it up, if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind, easy to run game with a thought-provoking story, low barrier to entry (unless you hate reading, but you read this, so...!) and a perfectly fitting soundtrack, this is the game for you. Can't beat that price either!

Cara... simplesmente a melhor experiência de jogo que eu já tive em minha vida, se você pretende comprar esse jogo não veja nada a respeito dele... é cinema demais.

Simulador de astronauta explorador, com controles tenebrosos, que desgraça de jogo! Provavelmente se não tivesse mais nada do que fazer da vida, aceitaria perder umas horas explorando planetas vazios, lutar contra a nave desengonçada e tentar revelar mistérios de extintas civilizações vizinhas.

Quem sabe uns 20 anos atrás eu curtisse esse jogo, pois é daqueles que você tem que "sentir". Se sinta abraçado se, mesmo depois de insistir, chegar a conclusão que esse povo só pode estar doido.
