I just finished this game and I really enjoyed it for the most part (some of the latter half was just frustrating)
Its the only game I've finished this year and I've realized I'm just kind of tired of games where all you do is kill things.
What are some other good games where the primary focus is puzzles and exploration?

Getting into the Ash twin project frustrated the fuck out of me. Literally the last thing I did, and it's retardedly simple. Dumb sandstorm.
Thing I like about this game was the ship, it really captured having your own little vehicle you could hang out in, take care of, use to go places etc.
Genshin Impact has a lot of combat but it has a huge focus on exploration and puzzles. Would highly recommend it
If you're the same person, stop making the same thread after the other one get archived
Disco Elysium
The game was just on sale user I'm probably not the only person who finished it today/recently.
Skeletons in the cave were spoopy as fug
play Obra Dinn
ATP was the only thing I had to look up. I guess I should've understood that the two towers on Ash Twin were representative of the two planets and one would take me in, but I couldn't figure it out
Ok

The Witness, but you must be really into puzzles for the sake of puzzles and like the one type of puzzle the game has
You might like NiassanceE
There's a huge mural spelling it out in, I think, the high energy lab.
I think most people don't put two and two together when given the clue that the teleports work by pointing to the center of mass of a system
Yeah, I was paying too much attention to the black holes and destroying spacetime to notice what the murals were detailing, so that was on me.

The only thing that interested me as much as Outer Wilds is The Witness and The Talos Principle.
Might like the latest "Hitman" platform. It's like Groundhog Day, where try after try you learn more about the locations and activities of the NPC's, until you can waltz through the map like a ghost's whisper. Very satisfying.

Throwing my vote in for The Sexy Brutale. It's part murder mystery and part puzzle game.
The controls customization is bad, you basically need an Xbox controller to play it.
Everything you said is the same for me. Had to look up how to get to the ash twin and the ship felt like it was actually something you existed in instead of being static.
Also really enjoyed that the game does not outright tell you your objective. Honestly wasn't until the final third of the game that I felt like I knew exactly what my goal was.
Myst and all the games it inspired
also if you want what you described but in a completely different way
How are you supposed to know how to get into ATP? I had to look it up and I'm not the only one.
Literally,
1. Find the teleporter
2. Use the teleporter
there are writings that tell you each tower on ash twin is connected to a certain planet, you can also find out that the ATP is of course in the core of the planet
and the only moment the tower is aligned with the other hour glass planet is when the giant sand line passes
you can figure out the rest
But I had to run out of the tower when the same came so I wouldn't be sucked in.
Why would you care about alignment with Ember Twin when your destination is Ash Twin?
when the *sand* came
>But I had to run out of the tower when the same came so I wouldn't be sucked in.
Yeah well, that's the only thing you have to figure out by yourself, but considering every other has a working roof...
>going through the game, all I have left is ATP and Vessel shenanigans (fuck u anglerfish)
>buddy wants to watch me play, he's beaten it before
>"Oh, you're trying to get to ATP? Remember the teleporters, and watch out for the sand, you have to wait for that."
fucking don't tell me shit goddamn you i know what i need to do and if i don't then i'm gonna figure it out, let me have big brain moments you faggot reeeeee

The entire Adventure game genre.
it started out with point and clicks and just expanded from there.
man that game was great, one of the only games that made me actually laugh.
>write down "Pigs gonna fuck."
the only other games that made me laugh were Psychonauts and Armed and Dangerous
Great game op. I loved this fucking game. Go play majors mask.
>Myst
This. I really recommend Quern. It is my favorite Mystesque game. Other than La-Mulana of course, but that is more of a Mystroidvania.
>Outer Wilds

I wish I could just forget it so I could replay it

The teleports always have to align with the center of the closest celestial object. For example the center of the sun when teleporting to the sun station.
Ash Twin and Ember Twin are so close they are counted as a single celestial object for the purpose of teleportation. Therefore you have to align the teleport, not toward Ember Twin even though it looks like it, but rather the space between Ash Twin and Ember Twin which is the center if you count Ash Twin and Ember Twin as a single object.

Death stranding was really good for having you be non lethal, but it still had action.
I really like crazy confrontation, but it makes things so much spicier if you are going for non lethal, that was what made the end so fucking kino.
