Outer Wilds, No Man's Majora?

Just seen this today, looks well worth a go, anyone tried it yet?

Looks like a space based Majora's mask type thingy.

Well...I like it, even if nobody else cares

Got this free from the E3 Xbox loot box last year. Does look quite cool and need to give it a go

Picked it up, epic fun! It's a masterpiece, design wise, technical wise, whilst a visual feast it's not the most smooth running game.

It's an odd one performance wise, I'm getting 60fps constant but it does feel very choppy at times.

I'm currently forgiving it because it's so original and fun to explore...and bounce off planets by accident!

I love the time reset mechanic...

I was trying for ages to get past the current, when I realised I could use the one typhoon that was spinning the opposite direction which would suck my ship below the current, it was awesome. Got to the planet core then boom... Reset timeline.

Same, I've still only seen the Sun go Supernova twice in as many days due to me dying in countless different ways in under 22minutes

Says £9.99 on Epic store. I thought all their big discounts ended.

Great reviews: https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/outer-wilds

It's brilliant, only around 5 planets but still more to explore and uncover than no man's sky :-D

So where are you buying this from?

Caused a moderate stirring on that there internet because it's crowdfunded and an Epic store timed exclusive. Maybe annoying for those that funded, but I didn't and don't care.

Just finished the game and have to say this was a really unique and rewarding experience. I've never seen a game that's so well balanced despite giving you no guidance. Every time I felt stuck I'd head to another planet that would somehow provide the answers to progress. I appreciate it's not a game for everyone, the flying controls are a little wonky and the art style may not be to everyones tastes, but beyond that this may end up being my favourite game this year.

Echoes of the Eye DLC should be out later today.
