Outer Wilds is the absolute best one.

Agreed. Unfortunately, I've already played it (and the DLC), and it's not really the type of game that's easy to replay since I already know all the secrets. Can't wait for Mobius Digital's next game.

Outer Wilds tops my personal list of "videogames you should play before you die." I'd recommend it to anyone regardless of experience with videogames, even people that have never played a videogame. The beginning area reminds me of old school videogame tutorials, it's basically just a safe "sandbox" where you can experiment with all the mechanics and figure everything out. If, incredibly, you haven't heard of this game yet, do yourself a favor, don't look anything up, take us on faith and just buy it and play it. It's even better if you go in blind.

  Another recommendation for Outer Wilds, and echoing the parent: go in the game blind, get lost in the universe and take your time with the puzzles even if you are stuck. I wish I can wipe my mind and play it again!

  > "I'd recommend it to anyone regardless of experience with videogames, even people that have never played a videogame." While I absolutely agree with you that everyone should experience the game because it's amazing, it isn't the easiest game for non-gamers to get into. First person controls take a bit to get used to and folks who have gamed even casually for a while probably take that for granted. There are some "platforming" sections which require pretty good coordination that will likely frustrate most non-gamers to the point where they cannot complete the game. I would love to recommend this game to EVERYONE because it's so good, but you need at least decent FPS control skills for it to be approachable.

Every time somebody says Outer Wilds, I think Outer Worlds, and that game could not have less exploration.
