It’s more of the same style of things that made the original such a unique experience, but with entirely new mysteries to solve.

I ask that you trust me, but I’m going to go into as much detail as I feel comfortable for the purpose of writing a review longer than “Game good, go play.” If at any point you feel intrigued, I highly suggest you quit reading there and go launch off into this incredible journey. I understand it’s hard to trust that alone, not knowing what kind of game you’re getting into. The less you know going in, the more satisfying and wonderful the DLC is. Second, this is the kind of game where I feel obligated to tell you that you need to stop reading my review and just go play it.

Getting into a hidden cave isn’t done by finding a Hookshot point but by following notes and taking the time to observe the worlds around you. In Outer Wilds, finding new information isn’t just for flavor, it’s your key item. That game was Outer Wilds, and it changed how I think about, well, a lot of things. A couple of years later came a game that took that feeling of discovery and turned it into a game mechanic. That was The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Use a variety of unique gadgets to probe your surroundings, track down mysterious signals, decipher ancient alien writing, and roast the perfect marshmallow.A few years back, a game came out that forever changed how I look at the concept of exploration in video games.
