| | |Return of the Obra Dinn|Detective, Mystery, Puzzle,|Lost at sea 1803 ~ The good ship Obra Dinn.|One of those games I wish I could forget and play again for the first time. \\ \\ Solving all the questions the game will put your way, deducting who what and when is just an amazing experience. \\ Stellar sound design, amazing puzzles, even if sometimes there is things that you might not find very enjoyable due to the general pace of the game or art design. \\ \\ Either way, you will still have a blast finding out what happened in the Obra Dinn and you will, most probably, regret you can only experience it, truly, once.|01/2024| |
| |Superliminal|Puzzle, Surreal, Narration, Physics, First-Person| \\ Perception is reality. In this mind-bending first-person puzzler, you escape a surreal dream world through solving impossible puzzles using the ambiguity of depth and perspective. \\ \\ |What an amazing game. \\ \\ So, let me start by saying, that if you just focus on "ending the game", you will be done in less then 2 hours, tops, and you will be disappointed. Main, mandatory puzzles, they are very few, and once you get the "click" on the solution, you will chug along and be over. \\ \\ Now, if you take your time to appreciate the levels and go for the hidden content, not only will you find a lot more "puzzles" that will / might stick with you, the entire point of the game, storywise, will stick better with you and will be driven home better. \\ \\ I would say that if you just want to see the "main puzzles", then it will be less then 2-3 hours to get everything done, but you would seriously miss in one of the best puzzle games out there by doing so, in a way, going for the hidden "collectibles" will take the game from a 2-3 hours game, to something that you might actual compare to Portal. If you do that, 10-15 hours is to be expected. \\ \\ Use those different PoV to calculate your "price-value / hour". \\ \\ Would definitely recommend, mainly if you enjoy the aesthetic and "fresh take", but would say to stay away if you are expecting a lot of (main) puzzles. \\ \\ Definitely, one of the best puzzle / "meta" games I've played.|10/2023| | |Superliminal|Puzzle, Surreal, Narration, Physics, First-Person| \\ Perception is reality.
