Outer Wilds
The best people in your life believe that Outer Wilds is the best game of 2019. How can they be wrong? This space-faring adventure posits a simple but intriguing mystery: What waits for us at the center of the universe? The game fully delivers on that promise (and then some), but the best part of the game is the journey it’ll take you on. The solar system of Outer Wilds is teeming with mysteries and as you bounce from planet to planet in search of answers, you’ll learn of what a rich tapestry you belong to—even as the whole system implodes in a supernova every 22 minutes. It is simply one of the most heartfelt stories I’ve ever experienced, wrapped up in one of the most astounding puzzle games I’ve ever played too. I’d hate to give too much away about Outer Wilds, so instead you should just pick it up while it’s discounted to $15 and thank me later.
