A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

You should. It's very unique and special.

Thanks. I've kept it installed. I'll pick it up.

I did the same with Obduction, and Stray too, now that I think of it. Yup, and with Talos Principle.
Puzzle games have to grab me. But I can be grabbed. I finished the first two.

I sure worked on Talos, but I got tired and just watched the end at the top of the tower on youtube. I did buy Gehenna, played it a bit. Never did Talos II, and Reawakened does not look good to me.

Mmm. And then there's the abandoned puzzle game. Turing Test. Ya, its uninstalled. Apparently I completed Chapter 3. I don't feel a shred of interest at this moment, either.

While outer wilds could don the moniker of puzzle game, I think of it as the evolution of point-and-click. By that I mean there's a fleshed out world to interact with using your intuition and innate interest in mystery rather than a set of tasks to complete.

I hope it clicks with you!
