This. Go into Outer Wilds knowing as little as possible. It's an incredible experience if you go in blind.
To paraphrase a description I gave in another thread about this game, at first it will feel like you're just fumbling around with no clear idea of what you're doing and why. The game presents itself as just this sort of open ended sandbox with no real purpose. That's OK, just explore and have fun for about the first half hour or so.
Because about half an hour in, more or less, is when The Event will happen. Do not ask what The Event is. You will know when it happens. It will be, clearly and unambiguously, The Event. And once it happens everything will click, and you'll go "Oh, that's what this game is about."
After The Event, go look at the computer in the back of your space ship. That will become your most important tool throughout the rest of the game.
This is still kind of spoilery yo.
I really enjoyed the game until The Event. I played a few more loops and was constantly irritated at The Event getting in the way. Like, I get it. I understand that is the point. It just ruined it for me. I don't want to race a clock when I am exploring.
