I am simply in love with this game.
At first i didnt look at it well and just trew it aside not thinking much about it, but when i noticed Lucas Pope was behind it, i had to take another look, Lucas being the creator of Papers please, one of my favorite games of all time, and when i finally played Obra Dinn, Lucas had done it again, The Return of the Obra Dinn also quickly became one of my favorite games of all time, and it has a reserved spot in my heart, and it shows that even with a simple gameplay loop, a well made game with passion can do wonders.
The story kept pulling me in, more and more i wanted to fully understand what happened, even when i was not playing the game i started theorizing in my head what happened to certain crewmates and what their fates were, Obra Dinn is a game that makes you fight yourself, the games makes you think and tests your deduction skills, when you finally put the pieces toguether of an event it really makes you feel something.
To top it off the game has an amazing soudtrack, and even with the graphics only being in 1-bit the scenes just simply look gorgeous, some times i just spent minutes looking at the sea instead of doing the work i was supposed to do in the game.
This game is almost an art form, and i really recommend everyone to experience it at least once in their lives, i was pretty vague with the gameplay because i believe Obra Dinn is a game that you should go in without knowing much, its a one time experience, once you finish it you will never feel it the same way again.
Go play it, 10/10 i am completely biased and i dont care.
