Where it sits
How strongly Outer Wilds leans on each of the three dimensions.
micro
LowExecution is barely a factor in Outer Wilds: a tool that played your inputs perfectly would gain you almost nothing here.
meso
LowThere is little to read in Outer Wilds: with no live opponent or hidden information to exploit, seeing what you shouldn't would not help.
macro
HighStrategy carries Outer Wilds: routing, resource management, and optimal decisions decide the outcome. What would break it is a perfect coach or engine calling the best move.
