There will be spoilers for the game and the DLC in my text and the comments

If you don’t want to be spoiled, play the game first, it’s a really really nice game that’s best when discovered

My favourite moment for the game (as for most players), was when I fetched the Warp Core and had to go to the Nomai Ship. The music made my heart beat so much, and the trip seemed so friggin long.

But my best discovery within the game is understanding how simply turning off the flashlight would be enough to make the quantum objects move. It was so satisfying discovering it for the first time.

    I think the best moment for me was probably

    spoiler for the base game

    The sun station. After way too much time figuring out how to get there, the music, and the story stuff to read there? Such a good moment.

      It’s a shocking revelation when you discover the sun station doesn’t even do anything, when up to that point you might think to yourself that it’s the sun station that causes the supernova.

        Up until that point many players will have thought they could stop the supernova, that they could save everyone, they thought that was the point of the game, how you won. To then be faced with the fact that there is no stopping it and that the star has just reached it’s end. It’s like getting a bucket of ice water dropped on you realizing that there is no saving anyone, everyone will die, this system will be destroyed, this universe will end.

        Accepting that end is hard, but I think the ending showing that all ending are also new beginnings, that everything is built on what came before goes a long way to letting people be ok with it.

        Fuck I love this game.:::

      Yeah, I agree it was a pretty nice find too. The trip between the two parts of the station is so climactic ! How did you get there first ?

        via the teleporter on the twin. I KNEW that that one was important, but couldn’t figure out how to get there, and after too much time I just looked up what to do online - that’s the only puzzle I had to do that for though, luckily

          I did not understand how the teleporters on the twins worked until I looked them up online too, so I used the good ol’ method of try hard enough to get there with the ship. Which made it even more tense when I had to cross the station.

            I tried A LOT even with the tips you can find online to land there with the ship, haven’t been able to though :(

              I get you, it took me many many tries. Eventually, I got it to land on the roof long enough for me to leave it :') It’s worth it for the bragging rights, but you’re not missing on anything !
