Oh, the places you’ll go
Game of the year candidateOuter Wildslands on a new platform next week. After successfully touching down on PC and Xbox One in June, it sets out to explore PS4 on October 15. It’ll cost $25.
It’s tough to nail down exactly whatOuter Wildsis. It melds galactic spacecraft travel ofInterstellarwith a timeloop adventure akin toMajora’s Mask. Every 20 minutes, you’re pulled back to your home planet, free to head back out to far away space rocks in hopes of unraveling this giant mystery just a little bit further.
It’s a game that trades in revelation and discovery, the sort of experience where seeing it for yourself is its own kind of reward. If you’re not convinced, I’d urge you to read Josh’s 9/10Outer Wildsreviewwhere he says it “brought to mind my favorite bits of Dr. Seuss’Oh, The Places You’ll Go…except with more of the sun exploding.”
