The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Story: Welcome to the market place
I love the character designs and their range of sprites, the music is phenomenal, the SFX is super immersive, and as someone who loves paying attention to the small details in things, Obscura is definitely a game that holds my affection.
Screenshake and flashing visuals can also be turned off, and includes multiple fonts for ease of reading.
Sometimes it's so good it's distracting you from text (hi music from the main menu).
The early access version is missing Francesco's second chapter but otherwise you can enjoy a lot of gameplay for the price point.
