I don't think I can put into words how incredibly satisfying this game was to solve.
Return of the Obra Dinn made me put on my detective hat big time and never made me feel like the game was impossible to beat without a guide.
Granted, there were many a time where I managed to fill in some of the names merely thanks to checking every name in the list, but I must say that I quite like the system of cementing names and causes of death in your book every third correct guess. This leaves room for bypassing those tougher nuts to crack, while making you feel uber smart for correctly guessing the remaining 2 all by yourself.
My only real complaint with this game is that I wish that there was a way for the player to hop between each scenario more conveniently. Having to manually walk to a scenario that only can be reached by another scenario felt a bit taxing towards the end when I had to solve the remaining missing people that unexpectedly went missing during a particular part of a chapter.
Return of the Obra Dinn has been on my backlog for just about 3 years now, and I'm so glad that I finally gave it the time of day to finish it. I can't recommend it enough if you enjoy logical puzzle games.
