I just finished Rue Valley and I'm curious to see how other games handle time loops.

Help me, please! My gripe with games that force me into “starting over” is that they suddenly aren’t fun.

Does this do it better? I’m tempted to buy it based on this conversation but I’m worried I’ll drop it within 20 minutes because of my preference for progression.

For reference, I can’t stand Souls games because of the “lose everything” mechanic. Yet I’ll start a New Game+ for a game I really enjoyed. I suppose it helps if I get to keep stuff from my previous playthrough.

    Ok so, I also hate Souls games. I do like rougelites however because there's progression between runs.

    In Outer Wilds you don't get to keep anything but knowledge - so as you explore you get to new, exciting locations or solve some puzzle.

    I had a lot of literal, real world jaw dropping moments in this game. A lot of my forehead being wrinkled so hard I had to consciously force myself to relax or I'd give myself a headache.

    It just hit me in that perfect way. At the end of the day it's an exploration/puzzle game that you can attack in many different ways.

    If you want to play it then throw on headphones, turn out the lights and just send it.
