Outer Wilds

If you have followed indie games at all over the course of the past several years, then odds are you have played or at least heard of Outer Wilds. A school project that became a Seaumas MacNally Grand Prize recipient at IGF in 2015, and then went on to be one of the most critically acclaimed games released in 2019. The team at Mobius Digital deserve every bit of that praise they received, because Outer Wilds is a truly special game. With superb physics simulation, an engrossing and complex mystery to solve, and a strong aesthetic and sonic style it punches well above its weight class as a first outing from a new studio. Bryan and Josh loved this game, and played right before the release of Echoes of the Eye, so that is not covered (though maybe we’ll revisit!).

Three Word Reviews:
