I tried playing Outer Wilds a few years a couldn't figure out the controls and gave up out of frustration. I picked it back up after beating Baby Steps.

Reposting due to egregious typo.

I finished Baby Steps, a walking simulator, and I got such a profound feeling of accomplishment after finishing I finally picked Outer Wilds and it was so much easier.

A few notes from the game, the exploration and physics of the game are so much fun. Probably my favorite >!cycle was just playing around at the white hole station. You can get some awesome kaleidoscope effects by getting really close to it and spinning around.!<

My biggest gripe with the game is the exploration system can be extremely frustrating. When I couldn't figure out one random mechanic or path, it would waste hours of my time. For me, I didn't get the feeling of achievement as much as relief that I could just move on with the game. By the end, >!I didn't get the euphoria many here describe, I was more happy the slog was over. !<
