Return of the Obra Dinn is perhaps even more impressive than its forerunner. It’s bizarre, at times excruciatingly difficult and feverishly rewarding; beating the game felt like winning gold in an Olympic marathon.There’s a reason why it was up for so many Game of the Year awards at the turn of 2019, though. It’s probably unlike anything you’ve ever played before and, as such, is somewhat difficult to get your head around to begin with. Like most games of its ilk though, when it begins to click you’re already sucked into the mystery and wanting to eagerly crack on to close this fascinating case.

Style, please

Needless to say, Return of the Obra Dinn stands out at first glance. The drawing style is reminiscent of the graphic minimalism of earlier computers and you can actually choose between the old Macintosh or IBM PCs and other computers with the dual color scheme. The rest is modern; this applies to both the controls and the music written by the sole developer Lucas Pope himself. His soundtrack captures the fresh breeze of earlier seafaring just as accurately as the graphics and sound both also from his pen.Resident Evil Revelations 2 Switch NSP Free Download

You don’t have to worry about compromises on Xbox One or Switch: The game runs perfectly even on the technically weakest console, both in handheld mode and stationary.Lucas Pope? If you listen carefully to the name, you might still have Papers, Please in your head, with which Pope won awards a few years ago. And in fact, its current title stands out again, because, similar to Papers, Please, it is playful!

Snapshots of the past

Basically, Return of Obra Dinn is a simple game: You move freely around the entire ship, recognize the places where members of the crew have died and hold a kind of magical pocket watch over the corpse. If you activate the clock, you can see a three-dimensional snapshot of the time of death including all those present in the immediate vicinity. So you observe, combine what you have seen and finally enter the name and cause of death of each corpse in a large book. Because that is the data that the insurance company needs. The apparently simple murder plot quickly turns out to be much more, but I don’t want to anticipate that.Resident Evil 0 Switch NSP

The actual fates of individual characters don’t play a major role here, but the episodes at the end of which they look death in the eye are cleverly constructed on their own.The devil is in the details, of course. Because while you can still clearly see in the tutorial how the captain shoots the first officer, you may see other people die, but you cannot see the cause. Then one could look in the snapshot of another death: is something happening behind a wall that is hidden at first sight? Or can important information be found in the recordings of the short conversations? What does a conspicuous number mean? How are different events related? Soon you don’t just look carefully, you also have to logically merge very different hints.

Combine, Watson

That’s exactly what Pope does so brilliantly: He doesn’t point to the solution and even if you combine a fact correctly, that’s just a theoretical construct, because after entering the relevant data, no achievement rings to confirm the success. Only when you have finally cleared up three deaths each will these cases be quasi closed and marked accordingly so that you do not get lost aimlessly in the long run.Overall, Return of the Obra Dinn is an incredibly compelling mystery that will constantly have you moving from clue to clue, itching to find that next bit of information that brings it all together. Making the correct deduction is difficult; the game doesn’t exactly hand you all the information you need on a silver platter.Redout Switch NSP

Sometimes even expects you to work simply by process of elimination, but once you finally get it right there are few feelings more satisfying. Despite having to take breaks due to the visual style, the game kept me coming back again and again, desperate to find the next bread crumb and crack the next mystery, which would inevitably open up a brand new one for me to work my way through. If you like a game that really makes you think long and hard about every piece of information you’re given, Return of the Obra Dinn is probably for you.Raiden IV x MIKADO remix Switch NSP
