  Man. I got about 5 minutes into that game.
  I think I closed it and started a second runthrough of Stray. Wanted the kitty, not the spaceship.
  I should eat some mushrooms or something and give it another shot.

    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.
      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 on youtube.

        While outer wilds could certainly be called a 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!
