This was just like my first experience playing Myst; after 30 minutes of gameplay I basically decided that I must complete Obsidian in one sitting. The story, concept, and art of the game are all incredible, Obsidian is truly a masterpiece science fiction story. The gameplay is very satisfying, albeit with slow movement even among point-and-click games. The puzzles are challenging, some I would say are actually very hard. Obsidian immediately became one of my favorite games ever during my first playthrough, an experience that reminded me of playing Outer Wilds for the first time. This game would be my top recommendation to enjoyers of science fiction adventure stories and puzzles. 10/10
