Named Game of the Year 2019 by Giant Bomb, Polygon, Eurogamer, and The Guardian, Outer Wilds is a critically-acclaimed and award-winning open world mystery about a solar system trapped in an endless time loop.
I would say, the steering of the space ship was a huge negative. Almost made me give up on the game right away. What made me give up 2 hours in was the stupid poison fog which killed you instantly but You could only see it with a static camera from a few meters away. What an unbelievably dumb mechanic.
I heard a games podcast, where one of the hosts played the game with kbm. He really struggled, especially in DB, because the thrust has no step-ups. By that time it was an annoying flaw with the game and there was only a mod to fix that, which was, by itself, broken.
Played the game on a PS4 a while ago and loved everything about it.
I am sorry to hear that, because for me, the game was a really special experience.
Yes, the ship controls needed a bit getting used to it, but when you get the hang of it, it’s really easy to navigate. And I loved it, that they tried to immitate real sky mechanics and didn’t make the ship behave like a boat or racing car.
But as far as I heard, you are not alone with the struggle.
I get you. I played for about 4 hours before giving up. It was kind of boring and I heavily strongly disliked the mechanics. The story didn’t get me at all at that point. Maybe one day when the universe thinks it’s my time.

Honestly, people complain about the ship controls but it’s not bad at all. Play around with it for 10 minutes and you’ll be zipping around in no time.

I mean, that’s the entire point of the autopilot mechanic. That’s how players are meant to travel between planets.

No way worked for me. First I tried kbm. Then I bought an Xbox pad specifically for this game. It got better but was still too annoying.

I started the game at least 4 times before uninstalling. No point starting again. I just read the plot summary.

I haven’t been spoiled yet, though.
