why is this game so good

[Wurv]

i cant play it the same ever again

[Bobywan]

Because it's one of a kind !
I can't think of any other game where all the puzzles are based on knowledge.
Also the loop mechanics is great even if a very few games uses that too (Zelda Majora's Mask for instance).
And the music is absolutely beautiful !
I hope Mobius will be able to offer us another masterpiece like this one some day.

I really want more exploration games like this, I'm an exploration fiend.

Because this really feels like its own genre - there are puzzles, but they are exploration puzzles.

Most of them are just 'here's a place you haven't been!'

With at most an extra 'but the door is broken!' a few times

we all feel the pain

[Fear Ghoul]

Yeah, I know. A game that's impossible to replay really.

I don't know I don't really agree. I am three hours in and I've never been so frustrated. I think I am just going to look up spoilers or a lets play.

It's a pretty free exploration game - just try going other places if you get frustrated with part of it. Three hours in there should be all sorts of places to go check out.

Yeah I think i set foot on each planet but I just dont understand where to go or what to do. Looked at the ships log and was even more confused. Id get to a cool area then I would just randomly die by the time limit or by some dumb gas or running out of fuel so I cant do anything.

Just go anywhere and it points you to other places - for example the moon is a decent place to start, there are some ruins there that direct you to some other ruins.

Or you can track down the other explorers with the signalscope. Or just fly to a planet and land near anything that looks interesting.

Basically you just wander around learning about what might be going on for awhile, it doesn't all really start coming together for a long time since it's so nonlinear. Your ship's log can help a lot in terms of finding places to go and keeping track of where you've been.

You could try going to some places sooner, nefore they are filled with sand or before they collapse into a black hole.
