Is this as good as EVERYONE says it is? - Outer Wilds

[@ShAdoWj1995]

You could call it a platformer. It is a Metroidbrainia. You can beat the game in 20min. But the game is solving how to beat the game in that 20min

[@immortan1423]

aaand he beats the game 20 mins in

[@stygianskies4776]

I've seen this kind of thing described recently as a "Metroidbrainia". Very niche genre that's hard to execute well. It's not really a "puzzle" game I wouldn't say in the traditional sense of the word? Like, not much requires you to really hunker down and logic something out. The draw is that there's an enormous amount of hidden depth to stuff you have immediate access to and the only thing preventing you from experiencing most of it is knowledge checkpoints. Found it supremely clever and rewarding myself though I understand certain personalities getting put off.

It's essentially an escape room on a massive scale. I love it

1:09:20 "it's probably fine" famous last words

[@kowel4744]

Omg i literally yesterday found out that aggy has a vods channel and he plays a bunch of horror games that i like and now i get a vod from him playing my fav game of all time, great timing

[@chronicmidnightrebels2623]

I hope you end up playing the whole thing. Thank you for experiencing a once in a lifetime observation of an artwork of a lesson. (I keep telling people this game isnt a cult, people dont believe me) but anyways since you're playing now, ONE OF US

[@chronicmidnightrebels2623]

"Guess Ill die" 1:09.23. One of the funniest quotes ive heard from this game

[@tomrader013]

Elden Ring and Outer Wilds are my favorite games (for different reasons) so I'm looking forward to seeing your playthrought. Enjoy!

[@bentheperson8992]

i wish i could have been there for this stream so i could donate and say, word for word, "aggy!!!! you gotta put the thing in the thing!!!!!"

[@protonjones54]

fyi the right control on the nomai shuttle is for landing (which isn't a relevant control unless if you manage to launch the thing toward another planet with enough accuracy)

[@MatNightmare]

broooo I hope aggy sticks with this

[@team4star1]

Dude I’m locked in. Hope aggy does end up enjoying it but honestly Outer Wilds is really designed to not click with people instantly, one of the best things about it imo not counting spoilers.

[@KanyeT1306]

Damn, this game looks fun. I might hold off on the VODs and give it a playthrough first.

[@elite393]

Haven't been able to catch streams lately because of my schedule so seeing this is a pleasant surprise. I've got fond memories of the game being the "hints guy". Now getting to chill out and watch Aggy figure it out all again a couple years later sounds nice lol

[@PyroYeet]

favourite game of all time, very epic, must play

[@Johnhamsta]

1:58:50 flying the Nomai shuttle is very difficult! Here's what you know so far: (Gravity Cannon controls) one side [right] recalls the shuttle to the Gravity Cannon pad, one side [left] launches it away. (Shuttle controls) One side [left] launches the shuttle away from the surface it's on, one side [middle] recalls the shuttle to the Gravity Cannon, one side [right] does something else that you aren't aware of yet. Figuring out how to fully operate the Nomai shuttle is very challenging but also very cool! It makes use of one of the game's core mechanics ::)

[@Zach-cn4lb]

Hey look it’s the greatest video game ever made

[@thatssoboub]

yes, it is

[@nicko7939]

yay, surely he will play signalis next

[@FellixNoAmatsu]

I am SO happy ur playing this game, it is my favorite game of all time. I just wish I could play it again.. 😢

[@MattHembling]

Godamnit i heard the theme music and now im gonna have to watch another playthrough of this, aren't I? Edit: oh damn what a perfect reveal of the supernova 😮

[@protonjones54]

O SHI AGGY PLAYING OUTER WILDS?

[@dpducks2723]

sorry to say but i usually skip videos if its got chat, especially this game. someone let me know if chat kills the game?

[@Cainhurst994]

its barely even a video game its an experience. 10/10

[@ThreeFingerG]

Nice. Stephen's Sausage Roll ep 3 when though?

[@CATS_1421]

when is he gonna sausage

[@raistlyn117_8]

::)

[@homelessguy9201]

No way

[@Notsogoodguitarguy]

Aww, it would've been so fun to see Aggy's first reaction to the supernova. Shame. But still fun.

[@PyroYeet]

what? did you not watch the video? xD

[@Taveren]

some reason i feel like youd be a bully in hs lmao

[@FlameHidden]

Yeah whoever calls this a puzzle game is sorta lying, its way more of a narrative and exploration game, where the only puzzle is piecing the narrative itself to unlock further exploration and vice versa.

[@Hamish_Whitehaven]

for me this game is boring and the art style annoys me

[@crusader_.]

commenter has "worst opinion ever." asked to leave youtube

[@adriansandoval8139]

It's not for everyone, it's ok not to like it
