Simply one of the most beautiful experiences ever made possible in the world of gaming and one that truly proves that video games can be a form of art as well.
One thing that is imperative to enjoying the experience fully is knowing as little as possible about the game when starting it. The game also leans heavily on this - it holds your hand as little as possible, piquing your interest, setting up a mystery for you to solve and then allowing you to, almost completely, wander and do as you see fit. Truly, there is no other like it.
Such an amazing experience, journey and narrative, a genuine one-of-a-kind that only the video game medium could produce. A game you can only really play "properly" once, figuring out both the story and your role in it, being the rogue-like element of the game, so once you "beat" it, you've finished the book, ended the film, so on and so forth.
Sad, but completely worth playing none-the-less, one of those times you wish you could just forget and go back in blind for the first time again. If any game truly deserves to be preserved by GoG, it's gotta be this one. It's a game everyone should have the right to play at some point in their life.
I hope we get a DRM free version of this. This game is too important to be left on Steam or Epic, plus I cannot stand First-Person Perspective controls on the console versions. An open world innovative indie game, with player exploration at the forefront of it's design, dealing with theme's of death and peace, made by a small team who didn't need alot and knew what they were doing, with the whole thing being at the epicenter example of video games doing what movies and books cannot do, who wouldn't want this in their collection?
It's impossible to recreate the feeling of pure wonder and magic that comes from playing your first ever immersive videogame... or so I thought. Then I played Outer Wilds, and for the first time in more than two decades, I felt like a child again.
This game changed so many people's lives, including mine. If any game should be preserved, it's this one. And so I humbly offer this quantum poem* to the overlords of preservation in the hope that it may please them:
To guide them home
I play my song
Under this cold starry dome
Hope it won't take long
(*the lines of a quantum poem should be read in any order)
Je ne sais pas, je n'y ai pas encore joué mais d'après les nombreux retous que j'ai, c'est un jeu inoubliable et d'une importance capitale dans le monde du jeu vidéo. GOG est le protecteur de notre média préféré, nous ne pouvons pas laisser les jeux disparaitre parce que Steam, Epic ou un autre ont décidé que le moment où il le retirerait de leurs magasins, ils disparaitrait à Jamais.
This is my all-time favorite game. Without getting into too many personal details, the way this game helped me accept my mortality and reframed a near-death experience I had was absolutely life-changing. The peace it has offered me regarding life and death is a price that can never be repaid to the developers. I owe them so much. I would love for this game to be made available on GOG.

L.A. NoireL.A. Noire is a neo-noir detective action-adventure video game developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games. It was initially released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms on 17 May 2011; a Microsoft Windows port was later released on 8 November 2011.
L.A. Noire is set in Los Angeles in 1947 and challenges the player, controlling a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer, to solve a range of cases across five divisions. Players must investigate crime scenes for clues, follow up leads, and interrogate suspects, and the player's success at these activities will impact how much of each case's story is revealed.
The game draws heavily from both the plot and aesthetic elements of film noir—stylistic films made popular in the 1940s and 1950s that share similar visual styles and themes, including crime and moral ambiguity—along with drawing inspiration from real-life crimes for its in-game cases, based upon what was reported by the Los Angeles media in 1947.
The game uses a distinctive colour palette, but in homage to film noir it includes the option to play the game in black and white. Various plot elements reference the major themes of detective and mobster stories such as The Naked City, Chinatown, The Untouchables, The Black Dahlia, and L.A. Confidential.Open world Action Historical Thriller Sandbox Mystery
