Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Let me preface with, I really enjoyed the game and couldn't put it down but after beating the Outer Wilds base game, I have thoughts and I think this would get down voted to oblivion in the Outer Wilds group so here I am. This is just my experience but the game was sold to me as this inventive organic puzzle solving adventure where you'd stumble upon clues and solve puzzles but in reality it's a journal scrap hunting game. There are circular glyphs on every planet that tell you how to solve almost every puzzle. I spent 5 hours ignoring these glyphs cause I assumed they were nothing more than lore dumps but in reality they are progress gates. I assumed this game would work more like Animal Well where the game tells you literally nothing and you have to experiment with your tools and knowledge to solve puzzles but nope. I'd hesitate to even call this game a puzzle game, it's honestly more of a casual exploration game which there is nothing wrong with that, but seems more accurate.

Any relation to Outer Worlds?

[–] HaveMeOnYourPodcast@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

They are unrelated.

I mean its difficult and you need to repeat some steps. But i think just the look and feel is pretty nice. I think it was a decent / good game.

I mean if you dont like puzzles i think this game is not fit for you.

I can get on board that it's not a game, but a simulation and art.

Anyhow as either of those or game it never will appeal to everyone, and that's perfectly fine!

I'm sorry you had this experience but I didn't read the majority of the lore dumps, and either flung myself using the ship to solve the majority of puzzles or just kept fucking around until I figured it out. I wish you had a better time playing it.
