Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

    I heard amazing things about Outer Wilds, was under the impression it was an adventure game but “make sure to go in blind!” was the universal advice so I didn’t look up more, downloaded it, started to play, and really struggled with the controls. I wasn’t raised with video games as a kid and I don’t play platformers and such so my coordination is shit. When I went to the net to find a solution (because a lot of games have at least mods you can download to make things easier) but all I got was “get gud.” I asked a friend who was like “oh yeah, I watched a stream of someone playing and it seems like a technically difficult game.” So that’s a pretty important warning to include with any Outer Wilds recommendation.

      i wouldn’t worry about it too much, we all struggle with the ship at first :) even the best of us! piloting it becomes second nature after some time though, just gotta learn through practice
