Loved the journey, not the destination
I must say… I was left just a little bit… disappointed by Obra Dinn in the end. I loved it in the beginning. The first impression was great – I was immediately in love with the graphical style which was really unique and beautiful in it’s simplicity. It seemed to really fit the “historical” setting of the game, because it almost looked like a moving pencil drawing made by someone of that era, perhaps the ship’s artist himself. And it’s simpleness didn’t detract from the player’s ability to notice details. The music was pretty atmospheric too – I didn’t love it as completely as I did the Arstotzka Theme, but then again – what can compete with the GREATEST COUNTRY? It was fitting and emphasied the various scenes pretty well And I really liked the deduction mechanic – validating the fates in sets of 3 left you enough of a wiggle room that you COULD make some educated guesses if you were stuck, or even completely cheese it as long as you were certain of at least some of the variables. And the thing is… I was really invested for most of it, even though I wasn’t really good. But in the end (the 100% fates correct ending) it didn’t really work that well for me. I was like “oh well, that is a story, for sure”. There was nothing in it and it’s conclusion that made me go “oh wow, that’s so great/deep/sad/interesting/whatever”. I was just like “oh ok, so that’s how it went”. It’s not that I didn’t like it – I did. I even loved most of it. But I loved the journey, not the conclusion. The conclusion felt… somewhat lackluster to me. I expected more and I don’t think I really got it. If you want to know how I did going into the game blind (and struggling more than a bit at the end there), you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG9IDqvQdmU&list=PLp4TpsJ7HUWUQS_x7n9qOJWOSM6sQQQWW
