It is possible to play on a keyboard, but it feels not well suited for it, to me. The game seems entirely based on playing with a controller. Had the gameplay been something I enjoyed, I probably would have loved the game. While discovery certainly seems to be a key part (I have looked up some brief information up after trying the game and deciding it is not for me), it is not the gameplay itself. When I get a recommendation to go in blind in a game to me that is an indication that the game is primarily about discovery. The gameplay isn't bad, it's just not something I enjoy. I would only recommend it with a controller. These are not narrative spoilers, but I take "go in blind" as meaning knowing nothing of the game itself, and I would not recommend that for Tunic (something I have thoroughly enjoyed for two other games). The game may be good for its target audience, but it is not a game for me.įrom my extremely limited exposure to it, I would say that there are two things I would have liked to know before trying it, both of which would have turned me away from it. I went in blind, literally knowing only the title and the image used for the game in the Steam store, just as I did for Outer Wilds. The game has almost zero replay value once you've learned everything (you could beat the game from a new save within several minutes if you know what to do), which is why everyone says not to look ANYTHING up about it.
For the most part, it's not too hard to figure out where to go and what to do, but the joy of the game comes from the satisfaction of its discovery. The closest I can think of is like if you mixed Myst with Kerbal Space Program. The game is truly special and unlike almost anything else. Outer Wilds handles exploration and discovery better than any game I have ever played, hands down. In fact, even a lot of the tutorial information is missable if you don't seek out and interact with the NPCs on your home planet. There is a computer on your ship that keeps track of useful information you learn, but it's up to you to figure out what to do with it. There is almost zero hand-holding or guidance your only objective being to satisfy your own curiosity and follow the bread crumbs laid out before you. Progress is made entirely based on what you learn through your exploration. The game is 100% knowledge based, which is to say there are no skills, unloackables, collectables, etc. As you explore space, you discover and learn more about an ancient alien species that came before yours, and piece together multiple mysteries that you start to uncover.

For anyone interested in a spoiler free description, the premise of the game is that you are an alien astronaut in your first journey to explore your solar system.
