Outer Wilds. Endings of both the main game and the DLC can still get me to tear up a bit. I saw a post somewhere, don’t remember, that said something along the lines of “Listening to the Outer Wilds OST is the only way I feel my feelings any more.” It’s about like that.
I have put hundreds of hours into RoR2 on PC, love the game. I recently purchased a Switch copy so I could play with a friend of mine who is console-only. Sadly, the port is still in a pretty bad place when I checked last (2-3 weeks ago).
I am not expecting the PC and console experience to be identical by any stretch, but I am talking about basic issues like the music on each stage cutting out after playing for only 10-15 seconds, wonky damage (Beetle Queens absolutely massacring us even on Rainstorm if we touched their projectile splash zones), and all the other miscellaneous issues from the patch like logbook being glitches, unlocks being unpredictable, etc.
I think it could potentially be fixed, but I would give them time to put out a few more bugfix patches before I considered a console purchase
I have not yet played Return of the Obra Dinn, but it is always high up on the list when I look for games like Outer Wilds. I’m a huge fan of Outer Wilds, so maybe the recommendation can work in reverse
From what I have heard, the deduction is not as intense as in Obra Dinn, but there is very little hand holding, and the whole game has been brilliantly designed so that it is driven entirely by your natural human curiosity. Once you get through the initial “tutorial” section (probably the roughest part of the game, push through!) the whole game is wide open. See something weird orbiting a distant planet? You can go straight there and start poking around. If you follow the leads that turn up there, you will eventually even figure out what it is, and why it is there. Do that enough and you’ll eventually figure out the strange mystery of your home solar system.
Can’t recommend it highly enough, but you only get to play it without knowing the secrets once, so go in as blind as you can. It took me 20-30 hours to “solve” the main game, maybe another 20 for the DLC, which is also well worth it
Grab a deck of cards. Hold it face down, so the backs are on top. Take the bottom card and flip it so its back is on the bottom. Now the deck should have a back on both sides.
Go up to someone, ask them to pick a card at random. Fan out the deck, making sure not to reveal the flipped bottom card.
Ask them to study the card carefully and memorise it. While they are looking at it, flip the deck so the bottom card is now on top. The deck looks the same to them, but now all the cards other than the new top card (the bottom card you flipped previously) are now face up.
Take their card and slide it into the middle of the deck. (don’t fan out again, obviously, that will spoil the trick).
Announce you will find their card in the deck. Place it behind your back. Quickly do two things: flip the top card around so it is now facing the same way as the rest of the deck. Then rotate the deck once more so all the cards are facing down, backs on top.
Bonus points if you then make some obvious flipping/shuffling sounds.
Bring the deck back in front of you, flick the top with your fingers, and then fan it all out. The card they picked will be the only face up card in the deck.
Works best for just one person you are trying to impress, too easy for gawkers to notice you rotating the deck. Though if you are better at sleight of hand than me you could probably get away with it by asking your volunteer to make a big show of showing everyone the cars so they can all see.
