Outer Wilds (XS) Review | VGChartz

VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “Beyond being the new template with which I compare other time loop titles, Outer Wilds ranks among the greatest games Ive ever played. Despite juggling psychics-driven space simulation, xenoarchaeology, time loops, unfettered exploration, first-person platforming, and puzzle-solving, everything congeals into a singular vision. By paring down any ancillary rewards like talent trees and exclusively focusing on acquired knowledge, every trial run grants an equal opportunity to unspool this tantalizing narrative yarn. When considered with its other great elements art, music, sound design, thematic poignancy, and so on – it’s all the more easy to appreciate how Mobius did the impossible: make the same 22 minutes feel timeless.”
