Anyone play this? I'm curious to hear your thoughts. I was a big fan of the original game so I was excited to come back for another go-round. The original was so excellent that I was a bit trepidatious about this one - how could they live up to it?
I'm happy to say that this DLC is also great. Without any spoilers, I'll say that it is excellent and also sometimes frustrating in the same ways as the original game. Much like the original, it has some big surprises that will knock you off your feet. I played it with a friend of mine and there were a few places that made us simultaneously yell incoherently. It's also fairly meaty, probably taking me 20 hours or so to finish (although of course most of this was wandering around exploring with no idea of what to do.) I went into this almost completely blind, which is unusual for me - I generally watch or read several reviews before, after and during playing a game because I'm very curious about everyone's reactions. In this case I only saw the trailer and nothing else. I highly recommend this approach. Moreso than with almost any other game I can think of, Outer Wilds is about discovering secrets, and the game would lose a lot of its impact if you go in knowing what to expect.
Some slightly spoiler-y thoughts.
