What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The story is heartwarming yet sad and my hyperfixation would let me talk about it for hours and hours on end.
FUN - The gameplay can either be very boring or incredibly stimulating and innovative, depending on how you like searching for clues and figuring stuff out.
Outer Wilds should be $40 for the game itself without any audio, and an additional $70 to get the soundtrack back, because it is possibly one of the greatest things ever to grace my ears.
Graphics: Very good
I played the game with a playstation 4 controller and it took me like 36 hours for the entire game (+dlc) but only like 21-23 something hours for the base game.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
