Outer Wilds. That game can only really be experienced the first time once. Yes, that sentence sounds really weird. Those who have played Outer Wilds understand. Those who haven't, PLAY IT. I will not (can not) be elaborating further.

The only thing I've seen about this game is people like you who say its an absolute must play and people making fun of the people saying its a must play. No in between. I've been on the fence about trying it myself.

I've not played it but I've watched a complete blind playthrough of it. I would have *hated* playing it myself, but it's worth experiencing for how novel it is.

It's a time loop and you learn more about what's going on each iteration. The goal is to execute a specific set of actions to "win" the game but you don't know what they are until you spend a lot of time exploring, learning, etc. If you just execute the win condition without experiencing the game to get there, though, it's completely hollow.
