    Outer Wilds is one of the most unforgettable experiences I have ever had with a video game. It is super unique and you can only experience it once. The soundtrack makes me super nostalgic for when I played it and I cannot hear "14.3 Billion Years" without tearing up.

      I love you're covering this music. But watching that music to another game. It's like listening to a movie score and watching another film.

      Unfortunately my experience with this game wasn't playing it, but instead watching (Nerd³, if you're curious). Despite that, I have such fond feelings for this game, and ESPECIALLY the soundtrack, that shit hit me hard.
      It's a beautiful game, and one of my favourites for sure. (I haven't watched the DLC though, I'm hoping to play through that myself, eventually.)

      Brother, I came here to see his reaction to that very song. I listened to that song at the climax of a mushroom trip when I was like 18 and since then it has been (to me) the musical incarnation of the process of life. It makes me so emotional.

    29:55 "insecure drift, with little sparkles of hope, and then at times pulling you into some kind of an abyss." It's amazing how good of a job Andrew Prahlow did that he can convey what the game is about solely through its soundtrack, with next-to-zero context on when or why these pieces play. You hit the nail on the head with that description. You asked if it was like Journey, that's a great comparison.
    Outer Wilds is a narrative/mystery/exploration game. You're a newly minted astronaut about to take their first voyage into space. If I say much more than that, it gets into spoiler territory REAL FAST, because there are no gear unlocks in the game, only knowledge unlocks.

  • @Nytraz

    This soundtrack will never fail to put the largest smile on my face. In a sea of impactful video game soundtracks, this one truly stands above the rest. It’s not only the quality of its compositions but the context and emotional impact that they provide after you’ve played the game.

    Not sure if this contains the music from the Echoes of the Eye DLC for Outer Wilds, but that DLC has music that somehow surpasses the base game. Either way, love this games OST and can’t wait to finish the video.

  • @unfortuitousash

    fun fact about the banjos in some of the songs; there are 2 banjos, one in each ear left and right. one banjo is the original recording from like 9 years ago when the game was in development and the other banjo track is the most recent recording. this was to tie the music into the game theme of " look how far we've come" its pretty neat.

    I'll be twenty this year, and I've been gaming for as long as I can remember. I can say with full certainty that Outer Wilds is the best game I have ever played.
    It is a once in a lifetime experience, and unfortunately, due to how the game works, you will never be able to truly replay it.
    It's almost like it left a space in my heart that can never be filled.
    Though it probably won't leave as big of an effect on you, it's still amazing and absolutely worth playing.

    Outer Wilds is one of those games you wish you could erase from your memory so you can experience it all over again. Getting used to the loops. Exploring new areas. Figuring out quantum puzzles. The moment of realization about what you have to do, planning it out carefully and then the last voyage. There is one song in particular that I like that is not directly on the soundtrack but can be found on youtube. It's Travelers (All Instruments Join). Beautiful arrangement.

And now we must go through life watching let's plays to feel a fraction of that spark again. I will honestly just listen to the soundtrack or watch other people play OW while I play a different game. lol.

  • @dylzim
    @dylzim ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Sorry to double comment, but I'm nearer the end of the soundtrack now, and I think a few things are really fascinating. The composer like, eases you in with some really pleasant bluegrass inspired acoustic banjos and guitars and that sort of thing.. then the soundtrack sort of transitions to some really difficult, demanding electronic shoegaze, which very nicely mirrors your transition into exploring the big scary science thing that is space.. and then at the end it rewards you for that hard work with some more really pleasant bluegrass and carefully merges in some of the electronic shoegaze to complement it. You master space, and you turn it into your campground. So enjoy the music and roast a marshmallow, you earned it.

  • @drteeth362
    @drteeth362 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I would describe Outer Wilds, at it's core, is a knowledge-based progression game. Were you start a brand new save of the game, but with the knowledge you would have by the end of the game, you could complete the game and see credits in 5-10 minutes. Because of this it is imperative to avoid any kind of spoilers if possible so as to not ruin the experience if you have the intention of playing it.

  • @Frostfirefall

    Wow, didn't expect Outer Wilds.
    The OST has a special place in my heart, not because it is astonishingly complex or wowing, but very simple, atmospheric and combined with the experience that is playing this game it's unforgettable. I still use the End Times 15:26 as my alarm every single morning to go to work.
    And the game itself, is THE game of all time.
    Definitely a must experience, it does so many things right and challenges the expectation of what a game is.

    I'm just sad that "Travelers (All Instruments)" didn't make it into the playlist, at least that I heard. I know it's not on the official OST, but still my favorite overall track produced from the game and just builds on the overall theme for the characters.

  • @benblack5126
    @benblack5126 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I haven't played outer wilds all the way through, but the general aesthetics is "if space camp was a video game" the soundtrack nails this perfectly. It's homely and woodsy, while also provoking that feeling of exploration and discovering the unknown. The visuals and the soundtrack compliment each other perfectly
    Edit: I've been listening to your hollow knight video on repeat for the last couple weeks. It's nice to listen to good music and commentary from someone who can really appreciate the intricacies of the arrangements. Also, I'd like to hear you react to some game soundtracks by Mike Morasky, particularly the Team Fortress 2 and Left for Dead 2 soundtracks. Both of these were arranged for an orchestra, and have some really killer brass and saxophone parts

  • @Painocus
    @Painocus ปีที่แล้ว +2

    After the opening section the game let's you explore it's solar system pretty much freely for most of the game. Progress in this game is not determined by levels or even really a predetermined narrative path, but by how much you learn about the game's world. Harder areas to get to are that way because you need to put more of what you have learned or figured out together to get there. This makes the game really hard to talk about to people who haven't played it before.
    Also the soundtrack for the Echoes of the Eye add-on/DLC/expantion is really good as well. My favourite composition from the whole game (Elegy for the Rings) is on there.

    They might have answered this in the rest of your stream but the gameplay of Outer Wilds involves traveling to different places and exploring them and with a few exceptions it is all pretty seamless, and each place has its own music. This means that the music tends to fade in and out and even blends together sometimes as you go from one place to another.

    Love Outer Wilds. I'm always wanting to recommend it to people who don't play games, because the experience is unique and special and would sell non gamers on the idea of games being important, emotional works. Unfortunately, I think it has a huge barrier to entry in its controls. I have been playing games my whole life and I struggle with the controls a lot. Not that I think the controls are bad; they are pretty good and are the way they are for a reason. But expectating someone who is unfamiliar with a controller in general to pick up Outer Wilds and enjoy it... It's hard for me to imagine.
    Still, a phenomenal game with one of my favorite OSTs ever.

    Just in case you heard the exact same sound as we hear in the video: for some reason, there is a reverb throughout the whole music, but not your voice, that is not there in the soundtrack. For most pieces, it works with the vibe, but is probably not intended.
    Which just means you can hear these "for the first time" when you encounter them in the game! :D

  • @Amy_A.
    @Amy_A. ปีที่แล้ว

    I've watched countless playthroughs of the game, but never listened to the soundtrack on its own. All of the musical ideas, and every thought that drifts through one's mind as they listen, is a representation of the ideas a player has as they play. A theme repeated for slightly too long, a hint at unknown malice, a build with no resolve. Even the change in theming and instrumentation between songs as the soundtrack progresses is represented in the player's progression through the game. It isn't just an accompaniment for the game, or background noise to the world. This soundtrack *is* the player, experiencing the game for the first time, translated to the language of music.

  • @AexisRai

    I haven't watched through, but there's some kind of bad doubling effect going on in the music source audio at the beginning of this video, as if two copies of the music are being played on top of each other with a bit of delay.

    • @AexisRai

    Dude, play Outer Wilds. It will leave a mark. The less you know the better due to the nature of the experience, so recording your sessions instead of livestreaming them will avoid spoilers. Depending on how it makes you feel you may even just want to enjoy it on your own time without any form of audience, but either way it's incredibly worth it. It's difficult to recommend enough without becoming off-putting, so I'll leave it there
