A universe full of wonders
If you haven’t playedOuter Wildsyet, then good heavens, what are you waiting for? This time-looping space exploration game, developed by Mobius Digital and published by Annapurna Interactive, is an incomparable experience.
When I was recently thinking about the kinds of stories you can only tell in games,Outer Wildswas one of the first to come to mind. It is warm and sentimental, cold and haunting, and expertly crafts its mysteries and story in the span of one galaxy.
Its DLC expansion,Echoes of the Eye, iseven more of the same. I think the base game hit me harder, as I knew what I was getting into once I booted upEchoes. But the trees, lights, and hidden puzzles of that place stick with me.
With the PS5 and Xbox Series upgrade out and free for anyone who’s already picked the game up, this seems like a great excuse to dive back intoOuter Wilds.
