This game would be captivating on paper (there's no handholding, no shallow procedural generation, unraveling mysteries feels quite rewarding despite the simplistic mechanics), if only it didn't revolve around one specific design decision that punctures my space suit

No matter what you do, find or visit, you...just die every 20 minutes. Always scorched by a giant supernova, and must restart from the camp. The lore behind the loop is reasonable-ish (some puzzles do use it as well) and you get to keep the pieces of information, though when you take so much control over the player the experience just becomes too fragmented in my opinion. Journos label it as soeinnovative, for me it's more like a nosy way to elongate the game where the explorative atmosphere that builds up just gets swept away.

Yeah it gets a bit annoying when you're close to a solution and woop sudden restart.

Game is still amazing though imo, all the quirks and features while visiting each world makes it worthwhile to explore. Exploring a certain planet felt scary like going to the depths in subnautica.
The way you can play with orbits around objects is fun too, just running and jumping achieving orbit around an asteroid. The orbital physics feel like they are functional at least, if you compare with Kerbal Space Program. Overall it's just very enjoyable to explore in it.

It is actually a lot easier to play it with a gamepad though, the spaceship controls were just bonkers on the keyboard and mouse.

This game is just a walking sim with easy puzzles but in space, isn't it? At first I thought it was a better No Man's Sky but it turned out to be more like Dear Esther. Not a bad thing but not what I wanted. Crying or Very sad

Nah it's not, not every narrative driven game is a fucking walking sim for gods sake especially if it has lots of gameplay like this one., it's an action adventure with a huge emphasize on the adventure part from what i played so far and puzzles/riddles are definitely not easy or i'm just dumb Rolling Eyes

This game is absolutely brilliant. The less you know about it in advance, the better.

The game doesn't hold your hand at all; you get total freedom, directions are given 'Morrowind' style (descriptions only, no markers, no minimap, you have to actually think and explore) and the payoff when you find the next clue is great. The lore and history is all very well thought out and connected, so the a-ha! moments feel very nice.

It's not a walking simulator at all. It has a very Subnautica feel to it, with the different biomes and often very frightening and tense moments. It's almost a cosmic horror game, if you want.

The 22 minute cycle isn't too bad at all (I thought this would turn me off at first). The universe is small enough to get around quickly.

Too bad it's on Epic, I gladly would have bought it, but now I got it for free, yay Very Happy
Highly recommended!

Yes, I finished it as well few days ago. Really nice game. The concept reminded me of the movie Edge of Tomorrow (one of the best action movies for the last 10 years, honestly). Not really a walking sim as I initially thought but the puzzles weren't so hard. Though it's better because harder puzzles would've made the 22 mins loop a real pain in the ass.

After I discovered all connected story nodes in the ships computer including the Quantum Moon I wondered why it ends like this. I honestly would've missed the ending if I didn't google it and found that I have to

It's a nice game. Has some interesting ideas, the story is good enough and the world is done great. Definitely one of the better puzzle games in the recent years.

So it does have a story? I thought it was one of those "here's a big game world, do whatever the fuck you want' game.

Yeah, there's a story to follow. Basically, you are trying to save the universe (the 22 minute loop is explained as a fail-safe device, to go back in time to keep trying), by following the lost civilization in its footsteps and try to figure out what happened to them.

You set your goals yourself, the entire solar system is available from the start, but there are breadcrumbs cleverly spread around each planet so you are never really lost, not knowing what to do next.
It's a game about knowledge. If you know exactly what to do, you can finish it immediately (but you'll never finish the game by accident, the steps to follow are a bit too complicated).


Definitely not a sandbox or walking simulator, but a clever puzzle game, built around actual (even quantum) physics.

The technical shit behind this game is pretty mind blowing as well, as the entire solar system is continuously being simulated in real-time, and there are no flat surfaces everywhere.

This game is ridiculously underrated Smile
Probably because of its name and The Outer Worlds that came out around the same time.

GOTY 2019 for me. And now with the release on Steam, it can also become GOTY 2020 Very Happy

Definitely one of the most memorable games I have ever played. Do yourself a favor and go in mostly blind without spoiling anything for yourself.

It saddens me that I could never really get into it, even though I love exploration/puzzle games. Somehow the forced time loop reset combined with the whimsical tone of the writing that I had a hard time taking seriously didn't make me fully immerse myself in the (well-crafted) world.
