#my roommate that I talk video games with has intense hydrophobia

I am not joking when I say please play Outer Wilds

The art style is stunning, the physics engine is pretty easy to get a handle on (the game says a gamepad is the best way to play, I found keyboard and mouse just fine to use), the main mechanic is one of the more fun things I’ve dealt with, the final story makes me cry every time. The soundtrack is breathtaking. 

Like do yourself a favor and just listen to the track titled “Travelers”. It’s one of those songs that inspires a sense of nostalgia for something you never experienced. 

I will give two warnings though: If you have any form of motion sickness, or issues with hydrophobia/thlassophobia/any intense phobia related to anything underwater, you might not be able to play. The movements of the ship and space travel are pretty floaty and I can se if triggering motion sickness if you’re prone to it, and there are some... very intense underwater sequences.
