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.

Looks like there’s a small one at !outerwilds@lemmy.world - not much content yet, but so it is while the instance has its initial growth.
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
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.
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.
I just got Tears of the Kingdom. I was able to go in completely blind (other than knowing what the main powers are) and hooooly shit it’s amazing.
If Breath of the Wild was inspired by Zelda 1, this game is the Link to the Past version.
I miss Stasis and the remote bombs though. I wish they also kept my house. I just got my horses back.
It’s a great game but a terrible sequel. Granted, I’m only up to the 3rd “dungeon” now but I dont see it coming up with a plot to tie it better with BOTW.
It’s a new gold standard of sequels, how in the world could you say it’s terrible? It improves on almost every single thing from the original. I don’t know what you mean by plot to tie it better with BotW. Its clearly a continuation of every character and location from the first game. I feel bad for anyone that plays this before BotW, they probably have no idea who any one or thing is.
Recall is the evolution of stasis. Bombs should never have been unlimited anyways. Besides, there’s multiple different ways to get the same effect as bombs now by using different items and fusing things together, and using arrows.
The house was a little jarring. But I smiled because it’s Zeldas house now and that’s kinda cute. The horses surprised me, I had no idea they were going to do that. One problem with them though is they take the data from your regular save, and my main save was the master quest so i didn’t get the cool horses back But that’s whatever in the end.
Stasis had the momentum thing going on and you could do some wacky stuff with it. And remote bombs had fun interactions too because you could place yourself and then detonate it.
There’s barely anything from BOTW that carried over plotwise. It feels like nods to BOTW but it doesnt feel sequelly to me. Did I lose my champion powers from the gloom from Ganon? (Revali’s gale please come back) Why is the purah pad a downgrade from the sheikah slate? Did the guardians become the towers? The whole 100 year war seems like an afterthought and it mostly feels like just a new game. And where the hell is my stuff? I wish they just kept my armor in a chest in the house or something.
Gold standard of sequels is a stretch imo. Gameplay, a bit. Plot, definitely not. It’s not Arkham City or God of War on plot and carryovers and it aint no Diablo 2 in gameplay improvement.
It was so hard to dodge spoilers! I also went in mostly blind, and it’s been pure joy. But also… feeling a bit overwhelmed! There’s SO MUCH to explore and do, and I have serious anxiety that I’m going to miss things or forget to go back somewhere.
Yeah I feel that. I just assume I’m going to miss stuff and go with it.
I am constantly amazed how much there is to explore. The world is so freaking huge with so many layers. I’ve been in little areas thinking “I’ll just check this out for a second” and an hour later I’m still seeing what’s around the corner in that area.
I’m 60 hours deep into Balders Gate 3 so I’ve been trying to chill out and not play until full release next week. Ive been having a lot of fun with Dave the Diver in the meantime.
I took a break from BG because I didn’t want to get burned out on the starting area. Really looking forward to the release.
I play a weekly dnd session. I’ve been playing for almost 7 years. I thought I’d check out baldurs gate. I got absolutely bodied in the first encounter.
I learned 2 things; my DM is very kind and wants us all to have fun, baldurs gate is not kind and is coldly indifferent to my concept of fun.
I’m exaggerating a bit, but it was tougher than I thought. Saving helps a lot. I’m sure I wouldn’t have gotten wrecked right away if I planned better.
Do you mean the original Baldurs Gate or Baldurs Gate 3, the upcoming one?
I’m sure it’s the upcoming, it’s been in EA for almost a year so plenty of people like myself have been playing it for some time
I’m still on Death Stranding like last week. I can’t get enough of this game, though I wish the Director’s Cut version was available on Game Pass
Just finished my second play through a couple weeks ago, what an incredibly unique game. The balance system almost felt like a rhythm game to me, really makes me hope it inspires other similar games. This was my first time on directors cut, I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of bonus content. Definitely worth playing if it ever goes on a big sale or gamepass.
I just finished Directors Cut and currently trying to 100% it. Just can’t get enough of it! What’s the difference between DC and the original release? Could you please tell me if the spoiler tag is working on your end if you don’t mind?

Spoiler tag test
Unfortunately it doesn’t look like spoiler tags are working for me (I’m on voyager, formerly wefwef.) So I’ll just spam spoiler and hope people see it lol.

:::Tons of equipment/vehicles were added in the DC that were super helpful earlier in the game. The transporter trike jumps out at me as being a game changer. Also they added that loop of road that goes through the mountains in the second map which was very helpful:::
Hi all, I’m Nailbar, and I am now a Subnautica addict.
I’ve tried 10-15 times to finish it on hardcore mode. The most recent time, ::: I was killed by a warper bringing up my last load from the lost river trying to finish the rocket ::: and I literally can’t any more.
I’m playing it wrong and have not been trying to get home at all. Just happily building things.
