Amazing deduction game
I replay Return of the Obra Dinn every couple years and each time it's great fun and training for my deductive skills. It is a detective game in which you have to deduce the exact identities and fates of entire ship crew. There's mystery, there's detective work and there's interesting sory. I highly recommend to anyone who likes the "who did it?" type of play.

The bosun did it!
The concept of this game is rather simple, yet ingenious and brilliantly executed. You're dropped on the titular ghost ship with a crew manifest (containing names, nationalities, and roles) and sketches by an onboard artist depicting all of them. Your only job is to determine what happened to every single one of those 60 individuals. To make things more interesting, you got this magic pocket watch, which, upon finding a corpse, allows you to witness and explore a static scene of one's death. This should make the task easy, right? Well, despite the ubiquity of death, dead giveaways are a rare luxury. The vast majority of identities must be deduced by means such as language, accent, appearance, bits of dialogue, and minute details found across the memories, or a process of elimination to succeed. Every time any three fates get correctly established, the game confirms it - which makes brute-forcing harder while saving you time should you err. There are no stages or detached sections; it's a singular, giant puzzle, and it will feel overwhelming. Screenshots don't do justice to how good it looks in action. These minimalistic graphics, combined with fantastic music, sound design, and voice acting, make for such an incredible atmosphere that it's nothing short of an audiovisual masterpiece. I finished it twice over a week. The first time around, I missed many clues and ended up gaming the validating system a bit by taking educated, but still, guesses. I wasn't entirely satisfied with that, and during the second run, I decided to never identify anyone until I found solid evidence to back it up. Despite knowing the solutions beforehand, it proved to be no less enjoyable, in addition to allowing me to fully appreciate how intricately woven the whole thing is, which is easy to miss when relying on guesswork. Indeed, it turns out everybody can be pinpointed based only on logical reasoning rather than broad assumptions. And I bet there aren't many games that make you feel more like a genius by figuring it out.

just great
everyone should play this. It'll draw you in pretty quickly and forces you to think. There's no waypoints, you're not spoonfed anything. The voice acting is great on all the different accents, the musical stings are great. just great. just great

This is the GOTY 2018 contender
At its core it is a soduko/elimination puzzle cranked up to, well, 60. As there's 60 fates to investigate. Sometimes, you can get lucky and someone will call out to someone in the moment of their demise (which you can see as a still image you can walk around in, all rendered in glorious 2-bit dithered graphics which looks really really cool). And it's easy to figure out who they called out to. Other times, your only hope is finding indirect clues (the game basically assumes this guesswork to be correct) like someone wearing particular clothing or showing an item on them which you could see among the belongings of someone given by name earlier. And yet again, sometimes all you can do is eliminate options until only one remains. It is nothing short of amazing. It's a genuinely great puzzler with a light but servicable (carries the gameplay well even in any case) background and story, a really unique and fitting (it is set in 1807) presentation and an incredibly attention to detail. If you, **at all**, enjoy puzzles, get this one. My contender for GOTY 2018 so far!

800MB of Fun
I had more fun with this game, than with most AAA games i played this year. Don't let the visuals fool you, once you get immersed in the plot you'll forget the game is monochromatic. Not once i had difficulties to recognize what the game wanted me to see. But i'm also falling into the trap: limiting this game to it's unique look. Return if the Obra Dinn offers an intriguing gameplay that stands on its own. Only thing that I disliked, was that i could't modifiy the controls of the game. I'm a lefty and i hate being forced to use WASD, however that is not a thing that would lower my rating
