Did I cry when I talked to Gabro at the last campfire? Yes, yes I did.
Comment on Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again?

Outer Wilds, probably.

My first thought too. Probably in my top three games, but you can only play it the best way once.

I went back and tried to play the DLC and even that just wasn’t the same. I want to play them both blind.

I still keep it installed but I’m waiting a decade more before I replay it. Hopefully I forget enough to have a similar experience

That game came out when I happened to be really into the PBS Space Time series and I was learning as much as my brain could comprehend about general vs special relativity; which is all I can say without spoiling the game lol. So even if I could forget all of the story I don’t think it would have quite the same impact. It would still be something magic though I’m sure. I still enjoy watching others experience the game for the first time too.

Same here.

Likewise. Outer Wilds was an incredible experience but it’s one of those things that will inherently have zero replay value. Unless maybe you feel like doing a quick run-through as a comfort food nostalgia game, or something. It’s fairly unique in that your progression in it is based purely on your personal knowledge of what you’ve discovered in the solar system, and if you had foreknowledge there’s literally nothing stopping you from beating it on your very first launch without even doing a single time loop. There’s even an achievement for doing the same, no doubt intended to be earned once you already know everything.
