Outer Wilds

I'd say we've got to look for a mank.

It has been compared to, and I always get this wrong, is it Outer Worlds or Outer Wilds that is the Obsidian game? Outer Worlds

is the Obsidian one.

Aye, so it's been compared to Outer Worlds, we just...

Meaning

I could make an analogy that what's going on here is very similar to what happened with the Outer Wilds, wanting to do...

Wilds is a very different game.

I know, but never mind.

But think of it more like a bit-trip runner.

You're trying to get through this obstacle course as fast as you can, and there are different paths, multiple ways.

More like a Sonic the Hedgehog, which has some Outer Wilds vibes.

Right, John?

Yeah.

And, uh, "Outer Wilds," which is-

Yeah.

Indie game

I mean, you can just suspend it, uh, the machine.

So it's, it's ...

So I've been playing Outer Wilds.

Uh-

You would recommend to somebody that

there's really only two that come to mind immediately that like, you don't need to like know how to play video games to still like play, enjoy, and like think deeply about those are called the outer wilds and disco Elysium.

Those would be the two I would tell everyone.

Um, Although the second one is closer to like a book than a video game, but I think it uses the concept of what a video game is as an art of storytelling, which is something I've always been like deeply enmeshed in the concept that as like our media has enhanced.

I think Disco Elysium is the game that I would be less comfortable as a universal recommendation because someone really has to get into the idea of a very text-based story in a game.

If you're good with that, Disco Elysium could be amazing.

Outer Wilds is a game I would feel pretty comfortable recommending to anyone.

It's like pretty, pretty awesome game where you're just like plop down in a world.

something about a room bro

Speaking of puzzle games, I finished Outer Wilds today.

Did you finish it today? How was it? Yay! Beautiful.

Beautiful game.

it up on Steam.

I told you guys this.

See, I thought you beat Outer Wilds a couple days ago.

Well, I know you're doing a puzzle game.

Oh, my God.

This is an Outer Worlds, Outer Wilds

situation.

This is Final Fantasy.

Actually, it's a totally different type of game, but the core principle of having knowledge is still there.

There's a game called The Outer Wilds, And it's a loop game.

It was made by some folks at some, I think MIT or something like that.

But the goal was to make a game in which you don't have an inventory and you don't collect things.
