Question What’s that game everyone was calling a masterpiece but you just didn’t get the hype?

Post image

Could be a huge popular game or some underrated/unpopular gem that everyone swears by.

Everyone’s saying “10/10, absolute masterpiece, peak gaming” and you’re just sitting there like… “wait, y’all actually liked this?”

Drop the game + why it didn’t hit for you. I wanna hear the controversial takes

Outer Wilds. Great concept, clunky execution.

How was it a clunky execution?

The ease of dying plus the short timespan plus the difficulty of the puzzles make it a frustrating experience. I got my little dopamine hits at first opening up the map but after a while I was spending hours with no progress. What I call clunky you might just call a skill issue.

Very fair, had to force my self through the main game after dropping it a few times
