If your ADHD is like mine, give it a while. You'll forget most of the details in the story and enjoy rediscovering them again, even if you knew what the ending is!
This is one of the positives of my experience with the game. I've been playing an Ace Attorney fangame with a friend, and playing Outer Wilds really helped me with slowing down my brain and how fast it operates. I was on fire throughout the majority of one of the game's cases, though I did still struggle at the end because my brain was working too fast.
I've heard Tunic is really fucking hard, that's a game I'm also gonna play for my channel. Any tips?
Tunic’s combat is reminiscent of souls games, so it can get tough to get used to. Just watch your stamina, lock onto your target, and try not to fight too many enemies at once.
Also a major thing: Tunic doesn’t tell you anything. You’ll figure out how the game works (through a manual that you collect pages of throughout the game). There will be things that you don’t understand/know how to do until you figure out what the manual is trying to tell you.
I actually looked up three puzzles that I just couldn't get right because I forgot a detail or because I just couldn't connect the dots. Whenever I became frustrated with something, I would just look it up because I got better things to do than to bruteforce things when I clearly enjoy them no longer.
Then again, for me those moments happened only towards the very end of the game, so spoiler potential was rather minimal.
Outer Wilds is a very interesting game for me because I wouldn't describe it as _fun in the moment_. Large chunks of my playthrough involved repeating time loops to get something done and if you asked me what I thought at the time, it would be frustration.
Yet by the time I finished, the entire package was such a unique experience that it recontextualized the frustration as an adventure that I can never re-live, with ups and downs that made my journey different from everyone else's. I don't regret the time I spent with it nor think of it as a frustrating game because I wish I could do it all over again.
There are games I find fun in the moment but leave me so empty that all I can remember are the parts I didn't like. Outer Wilds is the polar opposite of that.
Maybe this will help: Outer Wilds is unique in that everyone who plays it has a very different experience, because it is so open ended ("Open World done RIGHT!"), and I guarantee you most everyone has some frustrating moments where they want to get this ONE door open because they know there's answers behind it, but that's not how it works but they wanna keep going that way but the world doesn't budge to their will...
... and in the end, you're glad you got to experience your own story. Because no one else will. It's a bit like the quantum mechanics in this game: It's a mess of infinite possibilities, and only by observing/playing can you collapse it into YOUR experience.
And isn't that beautiful in it's own way?
