Yup, this one.
If I can play a game where I both have sweaty palms desperately trying to match the needed fast paced escape velocity for a solar station landing, but also have quiet moments where I put down the controller and think about my life while waiting patiently for an end I know is coming… Then that is the best game.
I think with Outer Wilds and Obra Dinn I realized that “Information games” are just my absolute favourite genre of games. Portal is incredible, but more a regular puzzle game than an information game.
Every game I play is like “this is good, but it’s no Outer Wilds…”

Just finished Outer Wilds yesterday and it definitely shot up to my top 10. Nothing could beat Portal so far though…
