| Game Analysis | Outer Wilds will require Radeon RX 580 4GB graphics card with a Core i5-8400 6-Core 2.8GHz or Ryzen 5 2600X 6-Core 3.6GHz processor to reach the recommended specs, achieving high graphics setting on 1080p. 8 GB will also be needed to achieve the Outer Wilds rec specs and get 60FPS. Don't try and play Outer Wilds without 4 GB, which helps get the 30FPS We suggest a 3 year old PC to play smoothly. | |

Charming art & characters
Straight into the mystery; no slow drag.
Space flight has a semi-realistic feel and complexity that’s not in keeping with the light-hearted nature of the rest of the game.
The “loop” gimmick is interesting, but I fear it might become a grind.
Explore space! Solve puzzles! Meet odd characters. Unravel a mystery.
Die.
Do it again.
Die.
And again.
But that’s how it’s supposed to go. On each launch of your spaceship, you’re going to die. Even if you pilot your ship accurately and don’t fall into a crevasse or run out of oxygen, the sun is going to go supernova. And you’re gonna die.
But you remember everything when you come back, although your home planet friends don’t notice.
This loop is the primary hook to Outer Wilds. There’s no saving, except between loops.
The loops, so far, can be quite fun and the game doesn’t drag out setting up the mystery. It can be a bit tedious doing the takeoff routine and heading back the planet or moon you were last on. You have an autopilot, but it might steer you into an asteroid on the way.
On day one of its release, I’m going to call it a good game. If it turns out to be a great game, I’ll say so.
