Can I say that the solutions to these games are beautiful?
Outer wild's solutions always feel so brilliant with how they are crafted. They always seem easier than it supposed to be, using pure common sense. Sometimes in puzzle games, you just have to trust that the developer didn't torture you with an obscure or a tedious solution.
I think these aha moments is what these solutions are trying to instill, and honestly I should've placed more trust on the developers to their solutions. (I had to find help :( ).
I think more people should appreciate how hard it is to craft a beautiful solution to a puzzle, I think that many of us share the same sentiment that these puzzles are truely crafted with passion. Outer wilds plays with your fears, and tries to challenge your perception of reality. And it only rewards you with exploration and wonder.
As an aspiring game developer, one day I would love to create something on par to outer wilds. ♥️
