Short and sweet, Obra Dinn is a shining example of how style, setting, and storytelling can intersect and deliver a one-of-a-kind experience.

Peeling back the layers of this mystery was uniquely fun and addicting. The story itself is fairly simple, though the nonlinear approach and shifting perspectives was a clever enough twist to keep things engaging. The fact that the game automatically confirms three identification attempts at a time was a perfect way to keep things moving – even if that lends itself to cheesing the system by randomly guessing (look I'm a dumdum ok).
