PlayStation Plus gamers obsessed with 'life consuming' free game

There’s nothing quite like being immersed in a video game with a wonderfully crafted world, especially when that game is playable at no extra cost, such as the topic of today’s discussion.

It doesn't matter which tier that you subscribe to, Sony’s PlayStation Plus is a gift that keeps on giving, as long as you continue to pay the subscription fee of course. In total, there are three tiers available, Essential, Extra and Premium. The higher the PS Plus tier that you subscribe to, the more games will be available. However, all tiers will have access to exclusive discounts, DLC and more on PlayStation.

Over on Reddit this week, gamers have been discussing the titles that have consumed their lives more than any other and the indie game developed by Mobius Digital and published by Annapurna Interactive came up in discussion is the story-rich, sci-fi indie adventure, Outer Wilds.

“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,” reads the description of the game.

“What is the most life consuming game on PlayStation Plus?” asked Redditor skulllnbonez. “I was looking to find something to get sucked into. I really liked Slay the Spire and Persona 5. I’m curious what games you would recommend.”

“Outer Wilds is life-changing,” said Sad-Programmer-9653. “Outer Wilds is one of the greatest games ever made” replied WoWthenandNoW.

The thread was, of course, full of other life-consuming recommendations such as this one from SFW1921 who said “If you like Slay the Spire you absolutely need to play Inscryption” or “Civilization 6 and it's not even close. If you let this game get its hooks in you, you're not getting loose,” exclaimed averyfinefellow.

“This is subjective of course but for me, it's Death Stranding. Something very enticing about seeing how much cargo I can carry and trying to build all the roads and such. It's not a game for everybody and that's totally okay, but if you're one of the people the game is for? It'll suck you in like no other,” explained Wungoos.

Outer Wilds is out now on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. Outer Wilds is also currently available with PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium.
