What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Overall I think this is worth a play, the soundtrack, story/development, and art style are all great.
Once you get a hang of the basic mechanics (which I highly recommend you don't ignore, i.e. bookmarking) and become more familiar with how clues are presented to you, the game becomes a ton of fun.
The best parts of Obra Dinn are the execution (the visuals, music, etc. Some design choices are strange to say the least though), the overall atmosphere and the clever way most puzzles are constructed.
But, credit where credit is due; when both the environment and voice acting truly came together, it made way for very interesting cases, although I still feel like actual animations would have driven the point home better.
Very good gameplay and puzzle-making, the difficulty is well done too !
