Oh dear, here I am again with these games... But this time, my big son (15) played this one, and it seemed a bit calmer and quieter than the usual shooting games, so I got into it. I discovered that this game, 'Echoes of the Eye,' an expansion to 'Outer Wilds,' is really one big, fascinating puzzle. It takes time to understand what they want from you, but that's exactly the point.
What is this game
Listen, this isn't some shooting game or building things. It's more like solving a giant mystery in space. You're a small space pilot, and you need to figure out what happened in some strange solar system. 'Echoes of the Eye' is a side story within the main plot, where you discover more mysterious creatures and how they relate to all the mess. It's like a hidden mystery, you always have to think, and most importantly - explore. My son explained to me that every 22 minutes the world ends, but you don't have to worry, it's part of the game to learn and try again. I personally would be stressed by that, but he says it's a mechanic.
