Obduction

Incredible game. Puzzles were challenging but not impossible. Take notes of alot of things and youre set, wish i could play it for the first time again

Awesome game for those that like ton use their brains and solve puzzles with logic. Creative world and level design, nice story, overall 8/10. But very slow :D

Not as good as Riven, but on the same track, and fun enough if you like that sort of thing.

Great puzzle game with a good background story. It is a great continuation of the previous Myst games.

Anyone giving this game a bad review will be the people that are unable to comprehend the puzzles it consists of. This game is a puzzle masterpiece and hopefully cyan will go this route again in the future because although I enjoyed firmament, it was nothing in comparison.

Very good puzzle game. Its a modern continuation of the Myst formula, but the linking books are replaced with a new mechanic that is beautifully integrated into both the story and puzzle mechanics. Cyan still knows how to make these sort of games. Incredible work! The game had some issues with Proton compatibility. It requires Proton GE, or the media foundation dll to get the videos to work. By default all the video files were just colorbars, and audio for about 1 second. They are essential to the story, so I don't recommend this on steam deck unless you're prepared for the small amount of technical work needed get it working properly.

I come from a family of puzzle adventure game junkies, I've played every Myst game, as well as puzzle adventure games from other studios like Quern, Ether One, and Manifold Garden; Obduction was an interesting one for me. While the world design was excellent, and it felt like people actually lived there at some point (I love that hidden bar). The puzzles themselves suffered. They felt way watered down compared to Cyan World's other works such as Riven and even Uru CC/Uru Live. You might utilize the swapping mechanics to unlock different areas occasionally (one of my favorite mechanics in this game), but outside of that it was back to "Oh hey there's a number system which I need to learn to get part of a code for a door with a keypad" and less interacting naturally with the environment (Like in Riven, Uru Live and even Myst 4) to discover clues to an eventual puzzle. Here the number system felt like a box check, more than something artfully added to the game world like in Riven. But by far the worst part of the game is the maze, yes I would take a million Riven waffle makers (the final major puzzle in the large golden dome) over that stinking maze. It's jarring, considering the pattern established for that world, uses backtracking to bloat game time and is effectively the only major puzzle in that world. Over all, this is one of those games that I wish I could give a neutral review to. On the technical side the game is executed well, performance is fine sans loading screens (but that was more of an issue when the game released {or if you still put the game on an HDD}, it's fine on modern SSDs). It's also still enjoyable despite the flaws.

This game is an absolute masterpiece. It delivers 101% of the delight you might hope for if you imagine the Riven vibe was executed by the original creators in a science fiction format instead of a fantasy fiction format. Everything is absolutely on point: massive mysterious freely explorable and richly lived-in world, abstract emotive music stings that emerge at just the right times, and a sense of wonder as you study the world and try to make sense of the larger story you've been dropped into. The music from the trailer is really badly chosen. The vibe is not hard rock, it's Riven. I simply cannot imagine a plausible way recent reviews might only be Mixed. This game is a modern classic.

神秘岛系列的精神续作，引入了全3D的第一人称视角和VR支持。 四个大区域。背景有点类似穹顶之下。和神秘岛系列比跨区域解谜好像多了点儿。
