It's a game where you crash land on a (mostly) water planet with nothing and you have to survive and gather materials and equipment and stuff to try to get off. I guess Minecraft is sorta similar in that way, but also very different, since you don't build stuff with blocks and there is a plot. If anyone else can think of similar survival games, I'd love to hear as well, as I really enjoyed Subnautica.

Bummer that the controls were frustrating on Outer Wilds. I only played on PC and didn't know that was an issue with the consoles. I only remember it being slightly finicky on PC.

Ah interesting that kinda sounds like the Long Dark which is the only game my girlfriend plays on my Xbox. It’s like a survival game and you have to gather supplies in a cold wilderness and try and survive for as long as possible.

It may not be that finicky, I could just be impatient lol

I grabbed this bundle today, any recommendations outside of Celeste and Night in the Woods? Tanglewood looks cool.

I think the only one I've played besides Celeste is Minit, which was pretty great. There's a few articles by the usual game sites recommending games from the bundle, so I'll check those out too.

Oxenfree, Overland, A Short Hike, seem commonly reccomended.

Everything you mentioned is great. I've also downloaded a few others that look fun/intriguing:

Octodad/Dadliest Catch
Forma.8
Runner3
Golf Peaks
Trawl
Voyageur
Pikuniku
From Orbit
Quiet as a Stone
ISLANDS: Non-Places

Paging through a zillion indie games and asset packs and soundtracks and TTRPGs brought me back to the days of CD-ROM Shareware collections, in a way that was strange and exciting.

I got it as well. Currently only have a Mac, so my options might be a bit more limited. Was tempted to build a gaming PC next year, but a PS5 is tempting...

If recent tech reports are to be believed, the next gen consoles will exceed current PC hardware (until RDNA2/Ampere releases and SSD's catch up) due to them using a lot of proprietary hardware. They'll also be under half the price of a competitive PC build!

I like the PS exclusives, so it’ll be a definite, but maybe after a year or so. I quite fancy doing some proper emulation, so a gaming PC might happen over time. Don’t need anything chunky for MAME, but for newer stuff I might need something fast.

Session, a skateboarding sim game, got a 2 hour preview on xbox this weekend and goes early access this week. I've been a weekly Skate 3 player for 10 years now so I am extremely biased but I had a ton of fun. It's an entirely new control scheme and is super rewarding once you get the hang of it. Not sure if a majority of that comes from me being a skateboarder and enjoying the chase of trying something over and over until you get it or not but curious if anyone else has given this a shot, know it's been on pc for a bit.

Between this, Skater XL next month and then Tony Hawk later this year, the drought of skateboarding games seems to be coming to an end.

EA just teased a new Skate project on EA Play Live. Said super early, no details. Hopefully not a mobile game or something.

Yeah it’s mobile. Jason Dill spilled the beans in May on the nine club.

Skate 3 remake in the works, according to pro skater

The Skate series is back in the news. Now pro skater Jason Dill says he was approached last summer to appear in the game. The news follows rumors that EA might have abandoned the Skate trademark altogether.

Seems this team helped a little bit with Battlefront 2 and when EA dissolved BioWare Montreal for Andromedas poor reception, whoever they kept became part of Motive. $40 price point... I’ll probably check it out.

@Delta Don I remember playing the original on the 64 with my grandpa. Super excited for this one to come out. Finally give me a reason to take Animal Crossing out.

Not sure what changed but EA apparently has Skate 4 in development. Sorry
@dhodo !

Also Crash Bandicoot 4! Seems like it should be a higher number?

Crash fan here! The numbering is weird. Warped was the third game and the last mainline one of the PS1 (or the "classic" era I guess). They stopped numbering them after that one, but Wrath of Cortex was basically "Crash Bandicoot 4" even if the number 4 wasn't in the title so it's a bit confusing (I've heard suggestions that this new one will be something of a reimagining of WOC but not sure how much I believe that).

But hey, I'm not complaining, I love Crash and I'm so excited to play this new one and happy that the franchise has gotten such a revival these past few years. This announcement is good timing considering we're approaching the one-year anniversary of Nitro-Fueled, and there's been tons of speculation there's going to be a big content drop very soon to celebrate the anniversary. If that's true, it would be a great opportunity to try to tie-in with this new game.
