Gameplay and controls are good. Sound design (especially on your weapon is good too).
But I can't believe how much I like all the wacky descriptions and lore. Usually I skip over all that. But the upgrade system is cool and even the double-jump thingy is neat! I like how if you kill something wrong you get "bloody pulp" food which doesn't upgrade you as much.
I played the demo on Steam, but I bought it on PS5 to enjoy as a regular console game on my TV..
I guess you could describe Outer Wilds as one giant (and amazing) puzzle. I'd still say this is in a class of its own. Maybe someday I'll just explain what it is but I'd love for people to discover it themselves first.
You're right Ultros is amazing looking!
I'm enjoying the art a lot.

Nice. Figures you would appreciate the art style! I hope you make it to the gameplay twist and the radical new thing it enables you to do in the game.
Also enjoyed the perfectly logical early-credits from Larian in BG3.
Ultros looks great! Thanks for the rec : )
More of a Mega Puzzle than outer Wilds?
