First adventure game I actually enjoyed

I played plenty of adventure games before, because I love the idea of them, and how they play for the most part. I also never before have finished one, because I found myself stuck on a series of annoying and incomprehensible puzzles, and got too frustrated to play further, to say it lightly. Until this one. Everything is just so comprehensible in this one. Almost all the puzzles are logical and possible to figure out sensibly. I only got stuck once, in one place, but it may be just because I was relaxing after work and weren't as sober as I probably should be to tackle a game like this. Other than that, a fantastic experience that reignited my interest in adventure games. A colorful and imaginative world I wish I got to explore more. I will certainly be watching what else this studio got in store.

Could've been great.

I bought this game after reading some 5 star reviews; and I was so sure it was going to be an amazing game to play. Frustration! An endless walking experience, with boring tasks instead of fun challenges. The graphics are beautiful, the story is maybe awesome (I didn't play even half of the game, so don't know if it is) but the puzzles are so tedious. I love Myst and Riven, and I wanted to love Obduction; just can't. Sad.

Great game, but install on an SSD

I had such a wonderful time with this game! It's been years since I enjoyed a puzzle adventure game. Much less one of this scale, beauty and puzzle quality. I was hardly able to stop playing. Blasted through the whole thing in two days. The story, the graphics, the puzzles... it was all awesome! I'm only taking one star away because a couple of late-game puzzles require a lot of quick jumps between worlds, which means loading screens. Many, MANY loading screens with only a few seconds between them! So don't do my mistake. Install this game on an SSD and save yourself a whole lot of unnecessary waiting.

Hasn't learned from the past

The first half hour of obduction starts off fairly strong, a strange new world with great visuals and detail littered around liberally, a sense of mystery and potential depth. Unfortunately after this it suffers from the old adventure game weakness of puzzles tying cement boots to the pacing and tossing it into the ocean. Puzzles require scrounging every last scrap of ground to look for what's interactable, it sighnposts where you can go poorly (in several areas, you have to solve multiple puzzles in order to acces a space that any healthy human could climb up and down.). And combine all this with an intolerably slow movement speed and lack of any hint system has left me bored after several hour long attempts to progress. Better signposting, a journel and at least double the runspeed might make this game worth playing, but at present it's a cool world bogged down in tedium.

Potential Wasted in Poor Puzzle Design

Obduction starts off great - so much potential. It has all the elements from Myst and Riven that made them classics: intriguing story slowly revealed over the course of the game, mysterious atmosphere and immersive soundtrack, puzzles that integrate the game environment, several moments of "Ah ha!" where you know exactly what to do to unlock the next part of the game. The pacing is slow, but it's deliberate and fits the nature of the game. But Cyan also brought back (with a vengeance) the only bad element from their excellent earlier games: tedious, obtuse puzzle design. For the most part, you don't see this show up in the first hours of the game. The main hub level is designed excellently, with areas that become interconnected as you progress. After you progress enough in the main hub world, you start to run into teleporting puzzles, which require a lot of backtracking, a lot of trial and error, and a metric ton of patience. Remember that godawful "underground maze and you can only navigate by sound" puzzle from Myst? Those puzzles where you flip one switch, and know it must have changed something, but there's no logical clue to tell you what? They're back with huge levels where to even try some puzzles will require backtracking that takes minimum of 5 minutes for each attempt using fast walk, probably double that if you're using point and click or are not using a SSD. You start to realize you'll need to not only switch teleports, but make sure everything is rotated correctly before doing so, all while taking a circuitous route each time, going back through the entire game over and over. Riven cut this down by interconnecting all the areas, and slowly allowed you to realize the solution to the final puzzle through understanding the environment. Obduction throws nothing but tedious and lazy puzzles at you instead. It's quite a shame, this could've been a really great experience if the puzzle & level design was tightened up in the final half of the game.
