I bought it and went in blind, just because I heard it’s a really chill game with a great atmosphere.
But then the twist happened, and now that I know, it gives me anxiety, so I can’t enjoy it anymore.
I simply can’t play games with a time limit.
Without that, it would be one of my favorites.

Outer Wilds.
I very much want to play this game. It’s everything I want from a detective puzzle game, but actually playing it gives me motion sickness.

Same here. I get nauseous playing most first person games so I miss out on a lot. The only thing that sometimes helps is if the game lets you slow down the camera movement.

I’ve heard supposedly that sitting back further away from the monitor helps with motion sickness, so if you have some sort of TV screen that you could hook up the game to, that might work?

same here. i can play it 30 mins max and then i get very nauseated. and you can’t really get anything done in that time.

My issue was, I did not feel the expected experience of “Each loop, you learn something new.” It was more like, every 7 loops, I might get into the thing I was repeatedly trying to enter; and then it might just be a bunch of random ancient messages that don’t teach me anything. On top of that, I really hated the ship controls, especially when they veer AWAY from the autopilot path to pull me directly into the sun. If the game had been remade without any physics system, and simple direct puzzle mechanics, I might’ve enjoyed it more.

Yah I keep hearing fantastic things about the game, but I can’t connect with the “looping” mechanic and the weird ship/floating controls make it hard to want to keep doing the same planets or whatever again and again.
And I mean, I KEEP trying to get to a place where I’m like “Oh yah, here we go again, lets do this” like with other games and it’s just not happening. I can’t find the fun part. Maybe I’m too old.
