This game changed the way I play games. This game's premise is simple: you are an astronaut, and you go to other planets in your solar system to explore ancient alien ruins to discover what they did, what happened to them, and your place in it all.

I want to talk about it more, but it's REALLY hard to talk about. The game is PURELY information based. No keys or unlocks, just you and what you've learned. This game must be played blind, and it can only truly be played once.

Here's what I will tell you. From the moment you start the game you're going to have questions, and the game has answers. If you become as invested as I was, you will go on a rollercoaster as you are carefully drip fed each piece of the puzzle until you learn what you need to do to beat the game and what it entails. This game has made me laugh, made me cry, made me go through all five stages of grief, and left a hole in my heart for more that I keep trying to fill with other games that have similar structures.

My only gripe is that the game is a full physics simulation in 3D. You will be in zero gravity and you'll need to get used to the fact that there is no “down” in space, only in places with gravity - if you get motion sick easily, the game might be hard to enjoy, which is a shame.

Go play it, and go in blind. If you can, include the DLC. You won't regret it.

Favorite OST track: I'm not telling you, go play it
