    I played this game and loved it but never finished it. I feel like I was either too dumb to figure out what to do next, or I could tell what I needed to do but couldn’t maneuver my ship/character well enough. Total skill issue on my part, though I intend to dive back in at some point.

      Read a walkthrough if you have to. The ending is 10,000% worth experiencing, even if you need a little help to get there.

      In fact, getting to the end with help from strangers actually feels more in keeping with the themes of the game.

        Definitely this. It’s pretty easy to lookup exactly where you are and find mostly spoiler free walkthroughs or sometimes even hints. IIRC there are a few spots that a lot of people got hung up on.

        This game is too good not to finish.

      On the same boat.

      I definitely want to go back and complete it some day.

      Your ship computer shows hints and places you haven’t fully explored. Alternatively you could say where you are and helpful internet people can give you a nudge.

        I know, like I said I was too dumb to figure out exactly what to do when I got there :-). I definitely plan on diving back in, though.

      The Outer Wilds community is very helpful. Just post where you’re stuck and people will give you hints without spoilers!
