Remember all the gaming media hipsters who always keep telling you that this game truly pushes the medium forward, and that game is one true example of games as an art form?

This is the game where these pretentious remarks are actually true for once.

I need to play this, how does it compare to Outer Wilds in the "puzzle and mystery" sense?

@Brock a bit maybe. In the sense of freedom and the hands-off approach and the effective enviormental storytelling.

To me, Return of the Obra Dinn is the quintessential detective game, the game that actually wants and needs you to use deductive reasoning yourself, instead of spoonfeeding you clues and guiding you to a conclusion.
