I always meant to buy the dlc. Was wondering how they would even incorporate new stuff as the original is just one long puzzle. Good to know i didn't miss much. Maybe I'll catch it on good deal one day. I did very much enjoy the base game. That ending lives rent free in my head. Falling through the nothing was a tripp.

Personally i really enjoyed the outer wilds DLC and would really recommend it, yea it's not quite as good as the base game but it's like a self contained puzzle world that is still clearly made in the same style as the base game and if you want more of that type of puzzling you can't really go wrong with it imho.

Yeah but that self contained is just what makes it feel confined to me, I'm missing the "there's a whole interconnected world to explore" vibe of the base game.

It's not bad by any means though, maybe I shouldn't have played them in succession and left a break instead.

Yea i do see your point there, i just think i was interested enough to want to figure out the puzzle of that place to look past it.

This game has never quite left my mind after i played it, love it.

Yeah I don't regret buying it to sponsor the devs, but I missed the "one long interconnected puzzle" aspect. It does feel a little tacked on afterwards (because of course, it can't be any other way).

It's not bad, it just feels too confined to me after playing the open world base game.
