re: outer wilds
@soph i'm not sure i'd say "life-changing"- that's an extremely high bar for me, too. but i do think the game is one of, if not the best game i've played all year, and perhaps will play for a good while from now. having finally completed it (+ 99% of the lore), it feels incredible that i still have so much meat to chew through after the fact!also, as someone who would really love to get into indie game dev in their future, i find what outer wilds achieved to be incredibly inspiring. it's not AAA, it never had to be, it never wanted to be, and it remains an incredible work of art in my eyes.
