    Outer Wilds. Wandering around in the village in the beginning was a bit boring so I put it down. Took it up again some days or weeks later and continued to play until I found the thorny seed on my home planet. That was the point where I was hooked and at the end it became one of my favourite games of all time.

        I haven’t heard that take yet. Usually if you like the flying (I loved it) then that’s the biggest hurdle to clicking with the game.

        I didn’t even know you could …

        spoiler

        leave the planet

        so I was pretty wrapped from that part on. Then they just keeping revealing more and more mystery. Like it’s a game about lore and puzzles, and the puzzles are tests of how well you understand the lore. It was like catnip for me.

          I want to revisit cause I know it is meant to be a good game. but the idea of restarting again puts me off.

          How long is a game supposed to take?

            If you already know some of the tricks to the knowledge puzzles then probably not long.

            But if you got a good ways in (like past my spoiler) and it still didn’t charm you, it might just not be the game for you. At least not right now.

            Don’t force it. Maybe one day you’ll get the urge and it’ll be right there waiting for you :)
