Return of the Obra Dinn is an incredible game. This feels like a game that only Lucas Pope could make. Honestly a one of a kind puzzle game that not only feels real, but it brings across the brutality of the sea very well.
Every scene brings you a little closer to the solution, plus letting the player know they got 3 correct really helps you feel like you're on the right track. The dialogue feels natural and still managed to give important clues without it feeling hamfisted.
As many people have said here, my prime complaint is that some hints are rather cryptic. But what helped is looking at nationality, job title, and appearance. It definitely helps to have prior knowledge of pirate jobs.
Regardless, Return of the Obra Dinn is absolutely a must play for another incredible indie game.
