Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Playing outer wilds for the first time. I’m kinda stuck but I don’t want to look up a guide in case I see spoilers!
I dunno if the community’s migrated or is still over on reddit, but /r/outerwilds was always good for gentle hints, for those who want them.
I don’t know if I’ve seen anyone yet who QUITE got all the puzzles in their own. Some of them are a RIGHT bitch, so don’t feel too bad if you need to get a little bit of help.
I used a walkthrough right at the very end. The final bit is time sensitive so I was mostly just confirming that I knew what to do and didn’t have to repeat it.
This was my experience too. I knew what I had to do, but I wasn’t sure if what I was doing was correct cos I couldn’t get out of that one place for a little bit. You know… That place
Looks like there’s a small one at [email protected] - not much content yet, but so it is while the instance has its initial growth.
Try doing something else for a while, go see other planets, other leads you’ve been following. A lot of places I thought I was stuck in I later realized it was a part of a different puzzle elsewhere in the game.
Where are you stuck?
Last piece of advice, don’t give up on the game. It’s one of those games where you’ll be glad you finished it.
Man I want to get into that game so much, but I just can’t handle the controls. I understand them, and I appreciate that they actually have that type of system in the game… But I’m fighting the ship far more than I’m playing the game.
It plays a lot better with a gamepad. I bounced off it the first time I tried and then the second time I played it on my Steam Deck and got so sucked in that I finished it in a couple of days
I haven’t played a PC game without a gamepad in like ten years, that’s not my problem. I’m just getting old and my coordination/reaction isn’t the best anymore lol
Me too! I’ve already had to search for some very specific things so far. I’ve been trying to avoid a guide, but I’m not sure how much longer I can put it off. It’s just very boring to have to head back to places if I get something time sensitive wrong. I’ll probably stick with it, but it hasn’t been keeping my interest as well as I hoped. It just feels like I’m repeating myself a lot and that’s really boring.
