Normally when you go to space in a video game, it's to shoot bad guys... not to philosophize about your place in an infinitely expanding universe. The Outer Wilds made me to exactly that. So much so that it actually made me reflect on my life's existential struggles... reacquainting me with the pain I went through. Thankfully, this game did offer me a piece of wisdom to deal with those struggles that I never considered.
