Return of the Obra Dinn

令人印象深刻的推理游戏，从来没玩过的类型

good

I bought this game after finishing Disco Elysium it was to replace my bedtime ritual of playing a relaxing mystery game before sleep, at first I was a little appaled by the unique graphic style of the game but I found myself excited every night to pick back up where I left the night previous the sound design is amazing styling atmosphe and the music is some of my favourite all from a single person pretty incredible. such a simple concept of a game could be so envolping.. the ending wasnt the most satisfing but neither was Disco Elysium so maybe theres something to be said there

What a ride. Fantastic concept, story, visuals and gameplay. It's so satisfying figuring out all identities, finding clues, and sometimes giving desperate guesses and getting away with it. This is not a puzzle game that needs a guide in any way. Not to say it's not a challenging experience, more so that the challenge is very balanced and doable. Because the story is so cohesive and feels very rewarding to figure out yourself, the puzzle is something that anyone can easily become so engaged with that analyzing every aspect of it is pure joy. I recommend this to basically everyone. My only critique is that the visuals, though beautiful and wonderfully implemented, are something that for people with sensitivities for migraines or seasickness will probably struggle with. They are quite harsh.

This was a pretty unique game which made me feel like a detective. Overall I think this is worth a play, the soundtrack, story/development, and art style are all great. I do have a few gripes with it though. Firstly, you must determine the names and fate of 60 crew members which is fun as you are going through each part of the story the first 1-3 times. But going back through memories and navigating all the different locations some random seaman was spotted to try to identify them becomes tedious and time consuming while offering no new experience. Secondly, there was very little information to go off of for about 20 characters (or maybe i'm just dumb) but I did have to verify many of the Indian and Chinese crew members solely through guess and check based on race unfortunately. I did have to look up some of the seamen/midshipmen Another thing that was slightly annoying was determining the fate of some people. While you could see the scene they died in, it was difficult to determine the exact cause/phrasing that the game was looking for. For example, the game would not recognize the fate of a character was correct if you used "some death by foreign enemy" vs "some death by a beast". Lastly, on the first pass through of memories some mechanics are repetitive and just seem to be a waste time after the first couple times. For example, when using the compass on a second dead body within a memory you have to retrace your steps while following a white sparkly line guiding you to the body you just found 30 seconds ago. tldr; Cool concept, music, art, and story. Some frustrating deduction on characters that don't add to the story/ repetitive features that slow you down unnecessarily. Worth a play

推理类标杆之作。游戏的设计非常克制，呈现出的信息可以说没有冗余项。推理难度控制的非常适中，这需要很精细的信息阶段解锁以及推理引导设计。保底检查机制其实自带简单模式，只要喜欢推理并且接受这个故事风格，很难不享受这个游戏。 他的香菜味主要体现在画风和这个航行故事背景吧。但除了这个之外，在这样的画面之下做出如此精确的场景叙事实在是功力了得。因为他用所有的细节来描述每个人和周围人的关系，在不同的回溯中跟随每一个人的时候还是蛮能在不同的视角看到这个故事的不同面的。人物刻画上也很有特色，至少通关之后，船上60个人里面主要人物谁的性格特征和人物动线还是很容易留下深刻印象的。这一张张事件切片确实还原了一个全方位的生动故事。 希望未来有更好的类似作品出现。

An awesome mystery/detective game. A simple game at heart with so much thought and care put into it. You see the moment of death of a body and that's it. That's the gameplay. Now piece together this elaborate puzzle on what happened to everyone. I really liked the music and loved how it complemented the different scenes so well. The 1-bit style was also quite unique and pulled off well.
