The best Myst yet

I found Obduction great. I liked Myst 1-3, but this one is even better. Where I got stuck to the point of having to look up the way forward at least once in the Myst games, this game's puzzles all made sense to me. The story was more engaging (to me) than any of the Myst stories and I found myself wondering about and looking around the world and what happened more than about the puzzles quite often - which I like! I play these games to enjoy a story with the puzzles as a means of achieving progress, so this was very nice. The game has a screenshot function which initially makes you think you don't have to take notes. Far from it: the teleports, roations, and relative positions of vairous things really require you take notes. The labyrinth puzzle was mentioned negatively in some reviews; I found it easy enough after drawing the map and cutting out the pieces that can move :-)

Unplayable for left-handed people

I had quite some hopes for this game as I like the Myst-games, so it wasn't without some anticipation I installed it and loaded it up. Everything went fine until I came to the controller settings menu. Where the inferno is the key-bindings?? There are none, and it became painfully obvious that the devs had no intention to ever offer any either as they locked a thread regarding this on Steam with no explanation. Well that sucked, but could it be played left-handed as a..."hidden" feature? I've seen that before, so I started up in hope that the devs seriously couldn't be that much of human waste extraction ports. But they could, and they were. You could move forward and backwards, and you could turn. Turn? Who would ever turn with the keyboard? And that was all you could do with your right hand. Being left-handed playing with WASD is really awkward and the fingers gets a really shitty position, far from happy I gave up. My impression of people obstinately omitting fundamental *relly bad word* things like this very much reminds of myself as an insecure 10-year old with way too much ADHD and no medication: I made games on my C-64 with lots of insults and other really really stupid things. Except, my games was never ever broken, and these guys aren't 10 years old, they are older than me. I can almost hear these hacks go "Mwahahahahaha! FOOOOOLS! Dance for me!! I'M in control! Mwahahahahaha! That's not just a humanly orifice thing to do, that is also pathetic. No, I do not recommend this.

Beautiful however a bit frustrating

Great visuals, atmosphere, music and story. The puzzles are sometimes really far fetched, and a lot of backtracking is involved. However still engaging enough to see it through. +Graphics +Story +Puzzles +Music +Atmosphere -Backtracking -Far fetched logic in some puzzles -Maze.. I recommend this game.

If Myst had been a walking sim

Myst and Riven was like lightning striking the same place twice, and Cyan has been trying to get a third, and I think they tried too hard with Obduction. It's not bad, but not great. It's enjoyable but has unignorable flaws. Like Myst and Riven, Obduction is essentially a giant maze. Most of Myst was generally small and compact, making it easy to navigate. Riven was larger, but it wasn't a drag. Obduction just has a ton of unnecessary extra paths. You will find yourself backtracking frequently, and toggling on "Run" mode barely makes a dent in your traveling time. This game NEEDS fast travel. Most of Obduction's puzzles are geometric/geographic in nature. There are a few code puzzles, but they're relatively weak. The alien numerical system was severly underutiliized. Most of Obduction's puzzles are easier compared to Myst and Riven. The only causes for getting stuck are usually: not knowing if something can be interacted with, not knowing where the location of a button/switch might be, or you've been caught by a red herring. And one puzzle I have no clue how it was solved; the door magically vanished. The premise of the story in Obduction is neat, and like Myst and Riven, much of the story is shared across notes and visuals. Unfortunately some story bits are easy to miss in Obduction and could even be mistaken for clutter. This ended up being vital as I got the bad end on my first play through, and had not found any information in-game to notify me otherwise. Myst and Riven did it right, as all of their most important story bits were impossible to miss with the cutscenes. Obduction startts strong and will scratch your Myst itch for a short while, but by the time you'll get to the end, you'll be wondering how this is the same studio that made Myst and Riven. You can see the inspiration, but the magic gets ruined when the flaws become nucances,and you'll be glad when it's over. Verdict: Buy only when on sale if you liked Myst.

Cinematic VR Experience - Mac Version

This is breathtaking cinematic VR experience. The various world locations are diverse and visually stunning. The detail and expanse of the experience is phenomenal. I loved most of the puzzles most required some thoughtful meditation. There were a few that seemed quite arbitrary, even after looking up the clue There were also a few that were tedious requiring transporting back and forth between worlds. However, still a great experience. I bought in through Kickstarter so I played the Mac version on my iMac (i7) 32 Gig, and it runs great with my graphics card; AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4096 MB, I ran the program off an SSD drive which makes load times shorter. I am not sure how it would perform on a slower Mac but it works great on this setup. Cyan has recently come out with an update that has stabilized the Mac version cosndierably. Expect the Mac version to be available soon.
