According to MetaCritic, Zelda: Breath of the Wild topped “best games of the 2010s” lists, appearing in 1st place in 17 of these lists. In 2030, what game of the 2020s decade will appear on the 1st place in most of these lists? (It should be noted that we are in the middle of the 2020s decade so this may change as new games get released).
that’s a shame. i’m not going to force it on you if you don’t enjoy the experience, but i will say that there are no mechanical progress gates at all in Outer Wilds, no intended order to do things in, and multiple interleaving threads to pull on. if you get stuck in one place, going to another may let you learn how to proceed. if it feels like you’re missing something, you probably are, and going somewhere else may help you find it.
it’s been my game of the year five years running, if that means anything. the dlc only cemented that position even more.
