Loading Screens the Game.

Omigosh. It's the most tedious gameplay I've ever seen. There are more graphically impressive 3 D games that have no loading screens at all these days. This game has the most excrutiating loading screens I've ever seen. There's a section toward the end where you must solve a maze in two worlds. You turn a few gears run halfway across the map, load into a new planet to turn a few more gears and load it up again over and over and over again. It's like a small torture. And given the fact that there are no particularly new puzzles in this thing, I guarantee that just waiting to move forward will be all I will remember about this thing when I think back on it in a year. There are a few good things. The second world is impressively designed from an artistic standpoint. And I like the soundtrack. But there are more bad things too, like the plot that is told in the most boring way possible. Or the fact that the fourth world has nothing to do in it.

Good game hindered by odd design choices

As someone who likes adventure games but rarely gets far without help its quite a thing for me to get 90% through the game on my own. I don't know if I'm getting better or if Cyan did a better job at building this game than a lot of their peers. Its probably because of Cyan and it too bad some of their other choices are so far out of sync with an otherwise solid development. The first problem here is the engine. I'm running it on a ATI card that is 1 generation removed from top of the line and I have to turn down the game detected recommended settings to low for smooth operation and medium for tolerable. Also, its disappointing that they relied on ugly FMV for the people, an explosion, and a fire. The puzzles do a good job driving the story forward. There are a few that seem to do be built to take a lot of time. That's not a big deal but still worth noting. The short story: Obduction is a great game for folks who are sick of combat driven games or are looking to try out the adventure genre. The game and the experience it offers would be better served by a different game engine.

Fun & Frustrating

To keep things pithy, I really enjoyed the first half of the game, and found the second half to be unnecessarily frustrating due to poor game design. The inital puzzles you come across are challenging and very fun to solve, but as you move onto other areas the game requires you to teleport back and forth in order to progress. It becomes incredibly redundent as you swap between worlds dozens of times for the remainder of the puzzles, each time meaning a loading screen to stare at. If not for the constant swapping, I'd have had more fun.

Breathtaking

I re-played Real Myst Masterpiece before getting Obduction, so that original experience is still pretty fresh. Obduction really takes the essence of what made Myst magical - the immersive world, the eerie-yet-familiar landscapes, the bread-crumb trail story telling - and puts in into a truly fresh package. Cyan really expanded on Obduction - the first area is huge compared to Myst Island and stuffed with enough to do to keep you occupied before even thinking of going anywhere else. The visuals are eye-poppingly beautiful - this is definitely a game you want at as high a resolution as possible! There is just a fantastic mix of really familiar settings and the alien landscapes that are thoughtfully designed (and gave me a bit of shudder). My only real caveat (and the reason for one missing star, though I would have made more like a half star off) is that the game is a little buggy, with some long loading times (like get-up-and-use-the-bathroom-and-a-drink-of-water loading times). In some areas movement would just abruptly stop for no reason even where there were no obstructions. One part kept turning my character around in the same spot for a few minutes before letting me move forward. The 'hint glimmer' sometimes threw me off because I would see something like it on far-away objects. Or maybe like a desert mirage the game's lighting is meant to play tricks on you. As a long-time Myst fan (who's still waiting for updated versions of Riven and Myst 3) I'm thrilled with the game so far.

Great Visuals, Frustrating Gameplay

The game is visually stunning. If only that was enough to carry it. The puzzles are the worst part. The guy you're helping provides criticism rather than help when you're stuck. Some of the solutions seem random. With hindsight they make some sense, but leading up to that point is hair pulling frustration. My other main gripe is padding. This game forces you to go back and forth, back and forth, to solve a puzzle. It's tedious. Time consuming. Frustrating. And adds zero value to the game. It's only there to bulk out the play time. Yes, the world is pretty, but by the eighth time I'm trotting up that path, I want to see that world burn.
