fesselndes Spiel

Ich habe mir Obduction gleich am Erscheinungstag gekauft. Da ich Myst auch schon mal gerne angespielt habe nur leider noch nie durchgespielt. Deswegen und wegen dem Trailer der mir doch zugesagt hat habe ich es mir dann gekauft. Ich habe es jeden Tag gespielt mal nur eine halbe Stunde da mehr zeit nicht vorhanden war. Aber auch schon über mehrere Stunden wobei ich in beiden fällen nicht gemerkt habe wie die Zeit verging. Das Spiel hat noch eine andere Eigenart die mir sehr zugesagt hat und womit vielleicht auch unbemerkte verstreichen der Zeit zu erklären ist. Wer Myst noch nicht kennt dem ist das vielleicht fremd nämlich ein Abenteuer Spiel ohne Inventar. Es gibt zwar reichlich rätsel die auch alle gelöst werden wollen und gelöst werden können. Aber eben ohne ein Inventar so wird zum Beispiel der Strom nicht einfach durch das umlegen eines Schalters erreicht sondern durch verschiedenen Handlungen die man zuvor getätigt hat an verschiedenen Orten. So fällt das Intensive ausprobieren des Inventar Bestands mit der Umgebung weg bei Situationen an denen man nicht weiter kommt. Hier klappert man die Gegend noch einmal ab um zu schauen ob man nicht vielleicht noch was übersehen hat wo man was machen kann. Manchmal stellt sich dann heraus das man zu kompliziert gedacht hat oder man sich einfach nicht gut genug umgesehen hat. Was auch schön ist das Spiel hat eine Story aber die schwebt so seicht im Hintergrund mit und verrät ein so nicht was vielleicht als nächstest passiert oder legt ein gar Fußfesseln an wie in manch anderen Abenteuer Spiel. Was die Rätsel mit unter auch schwieriger macht da die Hilfen mehr verteilt und nicht unbedingt sofort mit dem rätsel in Verbindung gebracht werden. Alles in allem kann ich sagen wer nicht durch ein Spiel geführt werden möchte und es mag sich die Rätsel mehr oder weniger selber zu suchen der dürfte an diesem Spiel seine helle Freude haben. Zumal ich finde die Grafik des Spiels ist schon gut. Man darf nur keine Super Highend Realistik Grafik erwarten.

Technical problems killed the experience

I more than met the minimum system requirements, and the game was a brutal headache to play, on two fronts: bugs and performance. I also have some issues with the puzzle design, but that's somewhat subjective. BUGS -- So many bugs. I'm sure many bugs will be fixed in due time. But they still sucked. I was irritated to take photos through my first 4 hours of play, only to go back and find them unusable, though I can work around that with screen shots and a little backtracking. I was irritated to get soft-locked in so many spots in the game (like forcing a save at the wrong time, or navigating to certain locations where you get stuck, etc.), but I figured out how to work around them. Some bugs are more brutal. Falling through a platform floor while you're moving is unrecoverable, and since the game made the awful design choice of forbidding manual saves, this means that you're forced to replay the whole game. What a bad design choice. There are many more bugs (of varying severity), but I digress. I'm sure this aspect will get better as patches are released. PERFORMANCE -- I meet the minimum system requirements, and the game is borderline unplayable. I quickly realized that to avoid constant freezing and sticking and stalling I'd have to run the game on the lowest graphics settings (including resolution). Guess what? There are important environmental clues you can't even read on the lowest settings. You read that correctly -- they have a graphics setting which renders the game impossible to beat. You can't play the whole game in low res mode. Without giving spoilers, there are several locations in the game where crucial information is illegible or not visible on low resolution. Combined with the awkwardness of the controls when manipulating objects, this led to one puzzle (the tower elevator) being essentially impossible for me. Hell, you can't fully read most of the books or papers on low res settings. So every time I had to read something, I'd have to switch the graphics settings, then switch back. This crashed the game a few times, and made it kind of awkward to play. But by far the worst part was the loading screens. Again, I meet the minimum system requirements (including the GPU memory). Using a non-SSD, the loading screens between locations lasted between 45 seconds and 7 minutes, with an average of around 3 minutes (depending on the complexity of the place you're swapping to). Early on this was annoying, but I was so eager to play the game that I looked past it. But soon you realize that swapping locations is the CENTRAL MECHANIC in most of the game's puzzles. I'm guessing typical players will need to swap something like between 75 and 150 times while playing. I got as far as the maze puzzle, realized what would be involved (probably 30 or so loading screens as I was poking around with the solution), and I just gave up. Spending hours and hours looking at a loading screen while solving a single puzzle? At first I thought maybe something was haywire with my machine. But nope. A quick survey of internet forums shows that my experiences were extremely common. So what happened in development? Did the people at CYAN simply not realize that the loading would take so long, and by the time they realized it they were too far into the development to change course? Or did they realize from the beginning that it would be horrible for slower systems and they simply didn't care? Something else? I really don't know. CONCLUSION -- The game is so poorly optimized in terms of performance that CYAN should have been more honest about the ACTUAL minimum system requirements. In it's current state I suspect the game is going to be very tedious and unpleasant for most people with minimum systems. In 3 years or so, when today's top-end GPUs are affordable, and when the game has been properly patched, I'm sure it will be a fun game for those without high-end gaming rigs. Had I known any of this, I would have simply waited a few years to play the game.

Entirely too slow

Out of a love for the old Myst games, I bought and played this and I almost could not have been more disappointed. The visual aspects of this game are very interesting, however, that's where my fun ended. The puzzles are either trivially easy or extremely difficult while adding MASSIVE amounts of game-time to each puzzle because you're forced to make long, arbitrary marches to places to solve things, all the while having level loading in between. I'm being extremely serious, there are a few puzzles in this game that require you load back and forth between maps in excess of 8 times in both directions. It's completely inexcusable for a puzzle game... I try to support indie developers whenever I can, but these folks really tanked my belief in unproven studios, even if they are some of the same folks who worked on some of the earlier iterations of Myst, Riven, etc. that I loved so much.

Trip back to my childhood

I obtained this game during one of GOG's giveaways, and after completing it, I feel a little bad for getting it for free. I have been playing Myst games since the first one originally came out, and I have missed this style of game so much. Started playing it, got sucked into its world, and my girlfriend sat down to see what I was playing, got sucked in, and we both spent the next ~6-8 hours playing this game, figuring out its secrets, and learning its lore. Absolutely loved it, and I will cherish those memories we made figuring out those puzzles. I loved it. There is unfortunately one significant flaw for me with this game. The ending. I will not spoil it, but I felt the ending was very disappointing and abrupt, as well as the final 20-30 minutes leading up to that ending. Not to mention that nightmare of a maze puzzle (AAAAH!) This is why I cannot give it higher than a 4/5. Despite that, I loved the journey my girlfriend and I took into this very strange and alien world, and despite the ending, we wanted to know more about this world, its people, and what happened after the credits rolled. I wouldn't trade that experience we shared for anything.

Get your clipboard out, take some notes

This game is essentially a walking simulator with switch- and teleportation puzzles. Before I go any further: This game NEEDS an SSD. Without it, you will be driven mad by the loading screens in the second half of the game. With an SSD, the level usually loaded in within 10-20s for me. Graphics look beautiful, and apart from occasional minor stutters the game ran smoothly on my aging machine at 1080p on max settings (AMD FX-8350 @ 4,5GHz, gtx 970, 16GB RAM). The game's story is mostly told via written notes you find throughout the game world, though there are some audio/video elements too. Initially almost everything is locked down and your task is to get the place up and running again. There is one NPC who offers some vague guidance, but mostly you need to figure stuff out on your own. There are no quest or objection markers of any kind. No inventory either, you strictly manipulate objects in the game world. For the teleportation puzzles it's important to understand that the teleportation switches always swap an area around them with a similarly spaced area in another place. So you can use that to manipulate the environment, which means you need to be aware of what just swapped where, and how do you get the environment to be like you need it? You need some spacial awareness for this game. There's another type of teleportation that's more straightforward. Though even there it makes senses to note down on paper which exits connect together. There's also a complicated maze puzzle where you should sketch stuff before you start. Though the game has a functionality to take photos ingame and review them later. Without planing, you might have to take some rather long detours or endure many loading screens. The game world itself is well crafted, with much attention to detail. You get the feeling that some mysterious cataclysm happend not long ago, which drew me in. There is no combat at all though. Overall: Game is good, but not for the impatient or easily frustrated.
