Why I didn't enjoy playing Outer Wilds

Outer Wilds is a game about exploration, curiosity, and the vast unknown. But for me, it was also a game that made me feel small—not just in scale, but in the face of the universe’s inevitable end. In this video, I share my personal journey through the game’s messy, beautiful solar system, the frustration and wonder I experienced, and how the game’s profound ending gave meaning to everything I struggled with along the way. If you’ve played Outer Wilds, I’d love to hear your thoughts: Did it make you feel the same sense of awe and fragility? Or did you have a different experience? Let me know in the comments.
