You don’t behave this way unless you have supreme confidence in your work: think shadow drops by Beyoncé, Frank Ocean etc. The hype generated by the mystery was already at a fever pitch, why would they bother diluting that? And now all these articles are all talking about the previous 6 years, a story to further bolster the run-up.
The highest-paid marketers in the world could not have written a better, more organic hype machine. These words may fall flat if the game turns out to be a dud, but considering how TC has been acting, I am 99.9% sure that will not be the case.
@Greatluigi Yes. Makes this old head very, very happy. Biggest ask in franchise history combined with 2D and puzzles (sorely missing from BOTW/TOTK)? Day one.
The fact they got this working at all - let alone fine for the kind of game it is - is a minor miracle. You’ll be missing some textures and the occasional drop, but it takes nothing away from what makes this game so glorious. If all you have is a Switch or want it portable, this version is a must have.
@Slim_in_Blue It’s like the review said: once you get the controls, it’s smooth sailing. I can see how getting into it would put people off, but I encourage sticking with it, because after you do, you never think about learning the controls, just adapting them to the different contexts, and you can focus solely on the story.
Started it on PC, but didn’t finish it (long story). Elated that it’s finally on Switch. One of the greatest games I’ve ever played in my 30+ years of gaming. Sets a new bar for puzzler / exploration.
On the one hand, I do not have the time to play both TotK and SS. Nor do I have the mental capacity to process the idea of delaying one for the other and dealing with the mental consequences.
On the other hand, it would be some balls on Team Cherry to release it against TotK, and I would want to see that play out.
If they announce both SS and Outer Wilds for the same year as TotK…well…please give my exploded head to my mother.

Very happy for TC and the fandom.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch Games Of 2023
“Games must have at least 30 reviews to be eligible.”
So when people finally get around to playing Outer Wilds, you’ll update this list for it to be #1?

I’m torn about Silksong.
On the one hand, I do not have the time to play both TotK and SS. Nor do I have the mental capacity to process the idea of delaying one for the other and dealing with the mental consequences.
On the other hand, it would be some balls on Team Cherry to release it against TotK, and I would want to see that play out.
