    In my opinion amazing game. One of the best I have played in the recent few years. The feeling of an astronaut is on point here. Music is just great, will quote part of my previous post at the end about that. I enjoyed the ship and jetpack mechanics, haven't used an autopilot a single time in my playthrough. Progression is all knowledge based, I lost my save in the late game and I wasn't even mad, because I knew exatly what was left to be done. Exploration of the planets and uknown was also good. The puzzles were kinda obtuse and I was stuck a few times, my tip is to never overthink the solution, it is almost always simpler then what you have on your mind. The ending was beautiful and someone started to cut onions around me for some reason. But it's not really a game everyone would enjoy, the loop mechanics particularly, you can easily get a feeling of game wasting your time, and it's not a kind of a game where action is happening all the time, and being stuck on an obtuse puzzle could be frustrating as well.

    This one is like 10 times better in context and is an Outer Wilds spoiler I guess:
