So you don't need a special key to use a certain device to get to some place, you just don't know how to use it yet, so you have to look elsewhere to figure it out, and as you do that you find other things you need to figure and it goes on like that across several planets with pretty unique and creative conditions that I haven't experienced in any other game.
I would recommend avoiding spoilers because that literally ruins the point of the game. It's not even replayable because when you have all the knowledge you can beat the game in like 15 minutes.

I'm also curious what games you've seen with that description. There is nothing that's quite like Outer Wilds. The closest would be point and click mystery games like Myst or deduction games like Obra Dinn or Golden Idol, but they don't have the 3D phsyics based interactivity and challenges that OW has, either to marvel at or be freaked out by, and that's a huge part of what makes the game as fun and unique as it is.
