I think this is the fifth pc vs console derail this thread has had. The best console is the zeebo.

i thought it had the best gameplay of the main 3 games, dark souls 3 was kind of a step backwards in a lot of ways but apparently that's because that team started from the dark souls 1 engine

I heard on NPR that 84% of gaming PCs are purchased via disability checks because PC gamers are too fat to walk and too socially maladjusted to work.

The Outer Wilds is just okay. The gimmick is kinda cool at first but then just becomes an annoyance. The Nomai are boring and look stupid, same goes for the PC race. The enviroments are interesting but superficial.

The big fish are dumb.

Interacting with the characters you meet, feels like a bad newgrounds game due to the lack of animation and weirdly poor dialogue system.

The exploration stuff is good and it's always great when you have one of those "aha" moments but plenty of games the last couple of years have done it much better.

The controls are bad. loving up one of the oldest and most simple mechanics (jumping) is an unforgivable crime in videogames.

Today I found a Unity port of Daggerfall some dude has been working on since 2014. He recently released the first Alpha and it's pretty mindblowing to see how well it runs now. Despite the janky rear end combat and poo poo dungeons I'm still having fun. I guess my unpopular opinion is that it kinda still holds up.

Into the Breach is another one of those hype games like Darkest Dungeon that I really want to like, but it never grabs me at all when I actually play it. And I want to understand why people are so hooked, but I just don't.

You generally don't want to be body-blocking hits with your mechs, you want to move monsters such that they don't hit anything or hit each other

You hit the nail on the head. I guess I was expecting some kind of advance wars/front mission/xcom hybrid. It's my own fault for not doing my research but it's gotten so much acclaim that I figured it was hard to go wrong.

There's overlap, but if the "puzzles" aren't procedural and natural then I can see that being a turn off, because that's arguably lazy.
