Developer: Mobius Entertainment | Publisher: Annapurna Interactive | Release Date: May 28, 2019 | Review: IGN's Outer Wilds review | Wiki: IGN's Outer Wilds Wiki

Outer Wilds blends science fiction with an enchanting sense of wonder. While its open-ended structure may initially leave you adrift in space (sometimes colliding with planets at alarming speeds), this meticulously crafted solar system overflows with narrative breadcrumbs, tantalizing mysteries, and awe-inspiring celestial phenomena that create unforgettable moments.

The game's exploration-driven design thrives on curiosity, enhanced by a compelling time loop mechanic that adds tension to its otherwise serene cosmic journey. Though mastering space navigation takes practice, Outer Wilds delivers an experience absolutely worth undertaking.

The Echoes of the Eye expansion ($15 USD) offers additional content, while Xbox Series X|S owners enjoy a complimentary 4K/60fps upgrade.
