Challenge, obfuscation and repetition. These are the things two otherwise wildly different games have in common. But what does that actually mean? And what lessons can we take to help build better, more balanced experiences in the future? In this video I explore the things Outer Wilds does that are both similar to and in some regards surpass that of FromSoftware's seminal sophamore effort.
