    Enjoyable puzzle game with exceptional art direction. Story is good but a little too generic for my taste. First part of the game is great but in the second part it gets very tedious - game could use a lot of more content for clues, because in the later part you're forced to guess a bit too much and instead of critical thinking you're trying random matches.

Also I was stuck for a very long time because something that looked like being speared to me the game treats as being clawed - maybe there was a clue for this one but if there was it was way too obscure. For me it's not worth the full price and i'd recommend to get it on sale.… Expand

    It clicks in a way that few mystery games do, making you feel like you’re doing actual detective work. The biggest issue is that on a pad some of the menus feel a bit too clunky, but it’s a solid mystery you’ll be chewing over even when you’re not playing. [Issue#169, p.96]

    Thickly atmospheric with an impeccable sense of place unmatched by other games, Return of the Obra Dinn is the smart, stylish and curiosity detective adventure that you've always wanted.

    What a mystery it is. We won't spoil anything, but as the Obra Dinn's adventure across the sea unfolds itself, you'll slowly learn about the relationships and tribulations of all its crew members and passengers. The post-mortem storytelling is compelling, and is never quite enough for your investigation -- or your curiosity. The art style is similarly withholding, offering just enough detail but maintaining an air of unease, and it looks utterly unique to boot. Some may struggle with the visuals as it can be a little too noisy in places, but if that's our only quibble, you can deduce that this comes highly recommended.
