    Imagine um mundo onde a Astrofísica e a Física Quântica possuem as mesmas leis e regras...Esse mundo é Outer Wilds.

    Outer Wilds é um jogo de exploração e puzzle com uma gameplay sem violência, onde grande parte da experiencia está em se mover pelo espaço explorando e deixando sua curiosidade fluir para descobrir os mistérios contidos nesse sistema solar que a cada 22 minutos inevitavelmente encontrará o seu fim.
    O desafio aqui é esse conhecer seus mundos incríveis e abandonados nesse período de tempo, os mundos vistos nos games contam com uma natureza bucólica, são ausentes de vida.
    Mas seus ambientes únicos criam vida e movimento a cada exploração.
    Curiosidade e exploração é o coração do jogo e a cada descoberta você será apontado para dicas que visam responder perguntas que a Ciência e Filosofia busca desde o começo dos tempos...Onde estamos? O que somos? O que sabemos?
    A cada loop de 22 minutos você volta sempre para o inicio do game, suas habilidades não mudam, suas skills não mudam, o ambiente não muda, o que muda é apenas você e as respostas que você tem para aquele mundo, onde as respostas já estavam lá bem na sua frente.
    A questão é tomar consciência de tudo, consciência é algo tão especial nesse game, que é a unica coisa que pode tornar as coisas reais, consciência é capaz de criar mudanças verdadeiras nesse universo, porque sem ela não teria nada para observar e assim nada disso seria real.
    Então nos momentos finais entendemos que assim como a vida, assim como nosso sol, assim como nossos desejos e conquistas, tudo chega ao fim.
    Não há nada que podemos fazer em relação a isso.
    Porém a jornada que traçamos, as conexões que fizemos, os conhecimentos que juntamos serão, para todo sempre e para para as gerações futuras, a vibração do universo, a grande melodia que irá ligar o grande todo.
    E assim o universo termina como começou, talvez a grande tristeza desse jogo que assim como a vida ele só pode ser experienciado uma vez.
    Então assim como ela vamos sentar com nossos amigos em uma boa fogueira, ascender um marshmallow e tocar uma grande musica enquanto aproveitamos esse grande mistério que é a vida!

    Outer Wilds is a game that can't be said in a nutshell, and even less can be said in a nutshell about why it's the most unique game I've ever seen. But I will try.
    The first thing that catches your eye is the lack of a clear storyline in the sense that you don't have to go through 200 triggers to finish the game, you can easily get through the game in the first 22 minutes (which is how    Outer Wilds is a game that can't be said in a nutshell, and even less can be said in a nutshell about why it's the most unique game I've ever seen. But I will try.
    The first thing that catches your eye is the lack of a clear storyline in the sense that you don't have to go through 200 triggers to finish the game, you can easily get through the game in the first 22 minutes (which is how long one time loop lasts) (well unless you have crooked hands), and the rest of the story exploration is up to you. In fact, the first time I played Outer Wilds, I quickly abandoned it because of this feature. However, after a year or two I got into it and got into the gameplay. The mechanics of finding different clues are top-notch: every time you solve a complex puzzle, and get a piece of important information, which in the logbook is converted into an entire virtual board where everything is interconnected, you feel like a detective, or a discoverer. And the attention to detail - let me be blunt, almost every moment in the game is explained and often linked to other facts. This is especially noticeable when you've already been through the game, and dipped back into it again. The story here is great and evokes some emotion, well the music, atmosphere and other stuff is incredible. And the last thing worth mentioning is the time. It plays a crucial role in the gameplay, the story, the details, and almost every aspect of the game. Some moments are impossible to get through if you don't arrive on time. Let's say a planet with a black hole inside eventually destroys itself, and its pieces "float" in weightlessness near a white hole, or two connected planets, one of which is filled with sand and the other is freed from it.
    It could go on for a very long time, so all I can tell you is just play it, and it's important to know as little about it as possible (which is why I've said almost nothing about the plot). It's well worth it. And the DLC too, it's awesome. Sure, it's a game for a fan, there's a lot of text that underpins almost the entire narrative of the story, sometimes unrealistically complex puzzles, but all that for me is outweighed by all its pluses.
    For me, Outer Wilds is the best game of all time.    … Expand

    Uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado nunca. La experiencia es súper inmersiva, los personajes son entrañables y el estilo de juego que tiene basado en el avance mediante el aprendizaje me parece magistral. Tiene posiblemente uno de los mejores finales de la historia. Su historia fragmentada en escrituras y documentos es muy interesante y la forma de hilar todo me parece increíble.

La música comunica al jugador, le guía y le ayuda a saber qué relevancia tiene en la historia todo lo que hace, está genial pensada. Aprovecha al 100% el medio en el que se desarrolla esta historia, que es el videojuego, lo que hace que según quién lo juegue la perspectiva y realización de los hechos y conclusiones sea distinta. Los misterios por resolver y las teorías que cada uno se monta en la cabeza usando el terror cósmico y la incertidumbre al adentrarse en un mundo desconocido es simplemente espectacular. Una experiencia audiovisual inolvidable.… Expand

    Reviewing the game without spoilers is hard because every detail is part of the experience. Basically, play it, and you will not regret it.

    Pd: Regarding the people that say "Frustrating time-loop". Basically, don't run. Play it with calm, and you will enjoy every loop.

    Masterpiece.

    Não é o estilo de jogo que eu curto muito, e mesmo assim sou obrigado admitir que esse jogo tem algo especial. Cada planeta é um mistério, com aspectos interessantes; Cada minuto nesse jogo você quer entender mais e mais do que está acontecendo no pequeno universo de OW.

    Outer wilds lo ritengo uno dei migliori titoli di sempre, soggettivamente parlando. Sotto molti punti di vista è un vero capolavoro, che riesce a esprimere tanto. Sono pochi i videogiochi che riescono a dare un esperienza del genere e non sbaglio assolutamente che nel panorama indie outer wilds è sicuramente uno tra i migliori

    Outer Wilds is rife with breathtaking sights and sounds, and at the very least, no one could accuse it of being unambitious. Mobius Digital may be a small team but, almost paradoxically, they achieve a remarkable sense of scope by keeping things modest. However, their work suffers from the glacial pace of progress and a hands-off approach to storytelling. My biggest issues – a lack of combat, direction, or material rewards – are obviously deliberate, bold choices on the part of the devs, and I commend Mobius for them while also chiding the cold, inscrutable product that resulted. I admire Outer Wilds, but I don’t love it.

    This temporally unique game adds something new with your every death and moves the story forward beautifully. The environments are breathtaking, the music will soothe you. This is the perfect game for those of you who are, above all, curious.

    For those who won’t be deterred by the endless deaths and time-looped backtracking in Outer Wilds, its intriguing mystery and non-linear exploration of an entire solar system will be a novel and deeply engaging experience.
