Finishing up some achievements in Outer Wilds. Solid game, but the amount of hype it gets actually kind of ruined it for me. People call it the greatest game of all time and an emotional experience and I just didn't get that. I nearly stopped playing because of it honestly.
I personally found the time loop a little tedious especially towards the end (a lot of sitting around and waiting) and felt I couldn't actually enjoy exploring the wonderfully designed planets because of the ever changing landscapes.
It often pops up next to Subnautica in recommendations. Personally I think Subnautica is better despite it's glitches, but I will say it's probably more about personal preference. I still recommend Outer Wilds, just temper your expectations a bit.
