Outer Wilds
A miniature solar system caught in a 22-minute loop. You don't level up or collect items: the only thing that progresses is your knowledge. Each loop you explore a planet, find clues and get closer to understanding what's going on.
Why play it now
When you feel like exploring and thinking calmly, with at least an hour ahead of you. Every loop ends with a discovery.
Who it's for
For curious minds who enjoy putting two and two together and working out how a world functions by themselves.
When not to pick it
If you want action or tangible progression, or if feeling lost stresses you out: the game doesn't tell you where to go.
