Walking through a kaleidescope

Riven is my favorite game of all time, and I am a fan of many genres. Myst 1 and 3 hit all of my favorite notes as well, although not on the same level. From what I can see here, Cyan knows themselves as the ones who brought high level first person story driven puzzle games into existence... I now fear they hope to have the same influence on the genre in VR... squandering away what little time is left, as they should focus on bringing great puzzles to the next generation instead. This game is gorgeous. Unfortunately that seems to be the main focus. In their early games you would walk up to a puzzle and be mystified, slowly unpacking it in your head. When you finally cracked the code it would feel like a miracle! What a joy. This game is wandering through a gorgeous fractured land. Most puzzles I solved accidentially just trying to figure out what the puzzle was about. The only difficulty is keeping the shattered map together in your head. I worry Firmament will be more of the same.. I'll buy it the day it comes out regardless. All I hope for is that Cyan can drop one more truly epic puzzle game before the doors close. Regardless, they will always be dear to my heart.

Awesome but with a little poor execution

This is a great game, but marred by some issues. Great atmosphere, the story is passable, and the puzzles (most anyway) require a little head scratching. However, the game requires A LOT of backtracking, and this forced me to go through a walkthrough towards the end, as I was more sick of backtracking than anything else. Also, some puzzle designs are fairly obtuse (the maze is infamous), which are only made worse by all the backtracking. A couple I could not see how you would have arrived at the solution through logic alone, so was glad I had the walkthrough. Other than that, a well put together game, and great for when you want something slow paced but engaging nonetheless.

It feels like home

I played all the myst games in my youth and have now finally the opportunity to play Obduction. Everything seems so familiar, even though I haven't played it before. I'm very excited, I can't stop playing.

Another Amazing Environment from Cyan

I believe Cyan's greatest ability is Worldbuilding. They're always giving us rich environments with so much story even if there are only a few or even no characters to interact with. Robyn Miller's soundtracks add an eerie, ambient mood that compound the strangeness of the worlds we're dropped into. If you're a fan of the Myst Series or Environmental Puzzle Games at all, Obduction is worth it.

beautiful but flawed

A great looking game with some intriguing puzzles and backstory that shoots itself in the foor in the later half with an insanely tedious mechanic. The backstory is different enough to pull you in and have you scrounge the beautiful world for clues as to what's going on. The mechanisms you come across are of great design and it's very nice that often you can take a close look at the machanism, figure out how it works and solve the puzzle that way. This feels very organic and helps integrate the puzzles into the world. But why, oh why, did there have to be two puzzles that require you to jump between sections of the game for every step in the puzzle - each jump prompting a load screen. Even using an SSD this feels very tedious and in the second puzzle - which is quite large - mistakes and redoing the puzzle will come with a severe punishment regarding the time you need to get back to where you went wrong. So much so in fact that it will save a lot of time to make some sort of real life model of the puzzle, solve that, and then transfer the steps to the game so you don't make any mistakes. So all in all I had a great time with this game the first half but the seemingly unescessary frustration in later half somewhat killed it for me.
