Space game Outer Wilds looks like No Man's Sky on crazy shrooms

  • 27

Edith Finch and Gorogoa publisher Annapurna Interactive has announced that it's bringing open-ended time-loop space exploration adventure Outer Wilds to PC later this year.

Outer Wilds is being developed by Mobius Digital, and was first unveiled back in 2015. It's nothing if not intriguing, letting wannabe spacefarers seamlessly explore a loosely simulated, hand-crafted, and "constantly evolving" solar system where all sorts of oddities occur.

"The planets of Outer Wilds are packed with hidden locations that change with the passage of time," the press release states. "Players can visit an underground city before it's swallowed by sand, or explore the surface of a planet as it crumbles beneath their feet. They also have access to a variety of unique gadgets that help them probe their surroundings, track down mysterious signals, decipher ancient alien writing, and roast the perfect marshmallow."

A bit of research and I found out that map is handcrafted. In almost every case handcrafted is superior to procedual generated maps in terms of emotional connection and overall atmosphere...

Here is Outer Wilds on steam if someone else is interested, game is looking pretty damn good!

As long as the release isn't rushed and half the world/planets feel like they are unfinished..I have to agree that handcrafted is better for the games atmosphere.
