i'm sad, i don't think outer wilds is happening

A collection of thoughts I have on the game; because I can't think of any other way to organize it:

--I think Outer Wilds is a pretty good game. However I don't consider it a must-play, and I also think it's made with a specific player-type in mind which won't apply to everyone.

--If you're expecting a curated experience you are likely to have a bad time with this game, I think.

--The player is expected to fail relatively frequently when playing.

--I never had any issue with the controls and would even say they're good. They're responsive and very easy to understand. I think basically every player struggles with moving around at some point because this type of 3-dimensional movement is not something human brains have evolved to do well or have much experience with, which is deliberately part of the challenge of the game. Not everyone will enjoy this, but again I think it is both deliberate and well-implemented.

--The autopilot is a specific set of steps based on your location and your target with no other considerations, which I guess is frustrating if you're playing the game trying to ignore the space flight aspects entirely.
