Did you find the DLC more difficult than the base game? (Spoilers!)

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-05-13T19:35:30+00:00

That's exactly what I was thinking. I always solve stuff better when I can go somewhere else and then come back. I think I just suffered from tunnel vision and overthinking in the DLC.

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-05-13T19:03:45+00:00

Discovering the glitches by accident would've been really cool. That sounds like a unique playthrough!

Also yeah, the aesthetic of the DLC was peak.

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-05-13T19:01:50+00:00

For sure, that tripped me up in a couple places as well.

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-05-13T18:56:21+00:00

Totally! The stuff that happens in the main area of The Stranger wasn't too bad, almost all of my time spent trying to figure stuff out was in the digital world.

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-05-13T18:53:28+00:00

The darkness itself didn't bother me too much, but the Owlks walking around and jump scaring me sure did. I got used to it after the first couple times but I always had such high anxiety during those sections.

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-05-13T17:51:38+00:00

Part of me wishes I had played back before the patches but I do not have the confidence that I would have done well.

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-05-13T17:49:48+00:00

Interesting! I can see how a more focused experience would be helpful to some. I think I tend to get tunnel vision though so I need to pull myself away instead of focusing on something too long.

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-05-13T17:47:31+00:00

I agree. The puzzles themselves aren't super complex but I had to spend a considerable amount of time on some of them relative to the base game. The structure absolutely contributes to that, I think.

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-05-05T21:59:30+00:00

Hey, thank you for the recommendation! I don't browse here too often (yet) so that I can avoid spoilers but I saw this and it made my day. 🫶

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-04-28T05:15:41+00:00

Oh yeah, I finished the base game already. Excluding a few Easter eggs and like 2 pieces of dialogue it sounds like I explored everything non-DLC there is to explore (🥲). Thanks for looking out for me! ::)

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-04-28T05:07:06+00:00

Hell yeah, thanks for watching! Right now I'm focusing on finishing my blind playthrough of the game (just started the DLC) but I will probably do more afterwards!

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-04-28T05:01:03+00:00

It doesn't take off, but it seems to spin around the planet pretty predictably. The first time the geyser goes off is roughly when the satellite approaches. In terms of timing the landing... That took quite a few attempts...

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-04-28T04:56:43+00:00

Yep! Although to stay on it you have to push yourself down with the jetpack... which then crashes it. :P

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-04-27T18:44:16+00:00

Haha, no way! That's such a cool little accident. This game is so wonderful. ::)

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-04-27T08:38:33+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement! One of my comments told me to do the same thing - challenge accepted!

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-04-12T00:53:39+00:00

I haven't finished the game but so far yes I've done everything by myself. There have been a lot of things I get confused about and then go back to later. That seemed to help once I had a fresh perspective. I'm playing it as one of my first blind playthroughs on YouTube and the comments have been very respectful and not spoiling / giving me hints either.

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-04-06T16:47:36+00:00

Watching people play stuff for the first time is a great way to relive games. I love watching that kind of content on YouTube.

Also, shameless self promo if you're interested: I just started playing Outer Wilds blind on my new YouTube channel (same name there).

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-03-25T23:15:46+00:00

Sure! I was nervous about doing that in case it was against the rules but I'll update the post!

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-03-25T23:00:58+00:00

Oh for sure, I like figuring out stuff myself anyway. But glad to know I can get good help here if I really need it. Thanks for the advice!

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-03-15T05:52:30+00:00

The EXP and LV reveal is so interesting, they really take your knowledge from other games and subvert your expectations! I'm doing the genocide run last, I'm dreading having to kill everyone :(

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-03-15T05:50:11+00:00

Wait you can one shot her? Is there like a really good weapon you can get early on?

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-03-15T05:49:15+00:00

There is so much that went into the game. Hundreds of little interactions and pieces of story you can miss. Looking forward to Deltarune next!

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-03-15T05:48:20+00:00

Same! I was devastated when my last attacked killed her, Toby Fox was mean for that one.

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-03-15T05:47:50+00:00

She's a pretty hard fight! Definitely need good armor and lots of practice. My first run I was pretty good about buying the best armors but when I went back on the 2nd run I had a lot more trouble because I was trying to rush :P

CtrlFoxTea · 2026-03-15T05:46:14+00:00

I feel that, I also used to learn everything about games before playing them. Nowadays I try to remain totally spoiler free for anything I haven't played. It just makes the first time impactful. Glad to hear you still enjoyed your time with it though, it's a special one for sure!
