What I love most about the game is the community's refusal to spoil it for others. Spoilers exist, but you really have to look for them.
Honestly, it's a testament to how good the game is that we all collectively, agreed to say nothing about it beyond "It's incredible, I wish I could play it for the first time again. Go play it". I wasn't told to not spoil it, I just won't.
Anyways, Outer Wilds is mine. There's lots of games in this list that I love: MGS, KOTOR, FO:NV, I would rate all of them above Outer Wilds in a "my favourite game" list.
But, Outer Wilds really gains something from the first experience above and beyond what those others do, and it's worth preserving.
