Critically acclaimed time loop game Outer Wilds is finally coming to Nintendo Switch. The announcement was dropped during yesterday's Nintendo Direct, where the approximate release window of summer (or second quarter for those of you living below the equator) of 2021 was given. Outer Wilds is a charming and exciting action-adventure game. unusual developed by Mobius Digital. You play as a nameless astronaut trapped in a time loop who can only explore the solar system in 22-minute increments before the sun explodes. While it might seem a bit frustrating, it's surprisingly fun and is essentially a long mystery game where you try to piece together what happened to an ancient civilization. It has been available for PC and Xbox One since its release in May 2019, joining PlayStation 4 later that year. You can see it in action on Nintendo Switch below:
Why should you be concerned about the arrival of Outer Wilds on Nintendo Switch?
Outer Wilds was one of our best games of 2019. We called it special because there is a sense that the places you discover have their own cultures, architecture and people, places that are homes. Instead of mere repositories of resources for mine, giving us a warm and cozy adventure filled with mystery and cosmic puzzles. It is a game for those who want to take their time, explore every nook and cranny and discover the diversity of the planets they visit. You'll die and be reborn a couple of times, but it's so elegantly presented that you'll be grinning instead of biting down on the controller in frustration. Honest.
