Obduction ®

Though Obduction caught my interest at first, it quickly turned into a hugely convoluted waste of time and energy. I can only imagine the 5 star reviewers didn't play the game to its conclusion (my apologies if this doesn't apply to you). I absolutely loved Obduction's predecessors and even played through them with my grandchildren. Honestly, I'd hesitate giving Obduction to my worst enemy. It is disconnected, requires a lot of in-game reading (and I do mean a lot) and, worst of all, it doesn't come close to being rewarding. I've never (to my knowledge - but I've been a GOG member for many, many years) reviewed a GOG purchase before now, so let this stand as a testament to my dissatisfaction! Really, if you don't want hours of aggravation (even using a walkthrough), I'm waving you off this title or, you can wait till it's on sale. But, you've been warned. I'm so livid with the game, I'm uninstalling it without finishing; I only wish I could get my time back. My 2 cents...

Not even the setting menus work. Only got one star because I could not award it 0.

Avoid this pile of horse shit, i wonder how much they paid for the glaring reviews. This crap will have you running around in circles and loading screens every minute literally just to waste your time and exercise your frustration threshold, i got this game for free and i still feel cheated i want my time back. You've been warned.

Every time I tried to play this I lasted about 15 minutes before getting severe motion sickness -- cold sweat, dizzy, close to throwing up. There's a severe problem with the way the UI/graphics are done in this game for me (and I've checked around, and learned I'm not alone) that makes it unplayable. I suspect the problem may be that there is a crosshairs (a little white circle) that only appears when you're not walking or running. So your brain fixes itself on that circle to orient you, then you start moving, and it disappears, and your brain is confused. Then you stop, it reappears, and your brain re-fixes itself on it and reorients you in space. Oriented, lost, oriented, floating, oriented, confused, constantly on and off like that, I think might be the reason I can't play this without getting sick. I don't remember ever dealing with another game that did this, and there is no option available to disable to disappearing crosshairs every time you start moving.

I have a new MacBook Pro with above recommended specs and this game runs so poorly I couldn't recommend it to anyone. Didn't get to play much because the performance was abysmal.
