Wait Outer Wilds is leaving gamepass? WTF how am I supposed to keep pulling it up from time to time. Stop sucking gamepass.
I have yet to play Obra Dinn.
Also one thing to note is that I don't like puzzle games, never have. I'd heard Outer Wilds is a lot like BOTW where its lots of discovery and exploration with no map markers, just letting you go where you want. But what I didn't realise is that Outer Wilds is basically just a big puzzle/ mystery game, like Return of the Obra Dinn but across a whole solar system and with the death loop mechanic. And the puzzles/ mystery is the focus rather than the follow-your-nose exploration and adventure.I think Outer Wilds blurs the lines between puzzle/mystery and follow your nose exploration. It doesn't really have puzzles and is more a "lock and key" setup. Instead of looking at something and figuring out a solution, you just go elsewhere until you are directly told the solution.
That's really not my thing. Especially when its got the loop mechanic restricting you to what you can do and when, if I am gonna do a mystery I'd want it to be completely at my own pace and letting me go wherever I want at any time, follow any thread I want, without having to be reset every 22 minutes and bothering with flying back to where I was.
