Outer Wilds - Travelers
Memories:
-
I played this game a year ago not really knowing what to expect. This game made me feel things I have never thought possible. But here I am again a year later listening to the soundtrack feeling those same feelings. It’s amazing what art can do for the human experience. Greatest game I have ever played. Only wish I could experience it for the first time again....who knows maybe I will.

My dad died of cancer way too young, I was 22 playing this game. Space became the unknown, the new planets became the different parts of his cancer, the hidden planet became the afterlife. I’ve been playing this game for maybe 6 or 7 years now since his diagnosis. It helped me face my fear of the unknown- face, not conquer. The universe is a terrifyingly unforgiving place. The sun explodes in 20 minutes. Make sure they know you love them.

The first time I played it was the night I discovered my dog was dying, and I played it to stay awake with him until the vet opened. After chewy died, I found the “end of the game” (I refuse to spoil anything) and I haven’t been touched by a piece of art like that before or since. It had a sense of optimism to what came next and was a lesson about mortality that I won’t forget.

The saddest thing about outer wilds is probably that you’ll never be able to play it the same way, after you reach the ending it just turns into a hey I did that moment, the music will never feel the same because you’ve already heard it at its special moment. Outer wilds is a good game though and anyone here who has only heard of it and not played it I would suggest you play it

Outer wilds is a game I will forever remember, not many other games have given me such satisfaction when solving puzzles, its such a good blend between cozy and fear of the unknown. Glad its gotten a lot more recognition over the past few years and that you’re covering it now

@20:17 The thing I loved about Fallout New Vegas was the game had a lot to say, there’s a reason there are so many videos unpacking various philosophy both in it’s interesting characters and in it’s factions. The game forces you to take these philosophies into account when making decisions, by nature of having to pick sides you had to ask what you wanted- and there was almost never an easy answer. I didn’t get that from Outer Worlds. I don’t remember the factions, or what they believed. I barely remember any of the characters. It’s a shame, because that setting had so much potential, potential that just ended up wasted.

The entire game your lead by sound and harmony … I listen to this as a 44 year old woman with my 9 year old girl … and I tell her to find the ones she harmonizes with on her path …. This soundtrack is a memory that is an adventure . Ty

I literally cried when I finished this game. It was so beautiful and somber. And never being able to play it the same ever again is bittersweet but fits so well with the theme. Surprised you didn’t talk about the music. The soundtrack is what keeps me going and actually playing the songs myself and in my own interpretations is how I can truly relive this experience

Woops I actually read all 600 comments while listening to these tracks. Thank all of you for sharing your stories and thoughts! It's good to see that there are so many who can appreciate this masterpiece. Let this game and music become a part of who you are. Remind yourself of who you want to be. Every day. Don't let the loop wipe your memories away.

I couldn’t finish the game because I’m scared of dark bramble but I’m here for this masterpiece ✨

This is one of my absolute favorite games. I wish I could wipe my memory of having played it so I can play it again for the first time. Since that's not possible, I watch a lot of blind playthroughs and get my kicks from watching others experience its wonder and perfection for the first time.

This is probably the only game where I can honestly say that I wish I could experience it for the first time again. I never realized it was this realistic to be moved emotionally over a videogame.

My son, who is so precious to me and is struggling right now with life in general, has been playing this and we listened to some of the music together. He loves the game and is excited to keep playing it. I believe it's helping him even beyond how I might be able to help him. Grateful for the small miracles in life. this is now a permanent part of my life's playlist.
