Return of the Obra Dinn is nothing short of a masterpiece. This is easily one of the most brilliant titles I've played this year. The artstyle is magical. The music and voice acting is outstanding. The story is beyond intriguing. The puzzle aspect is so perfectly crafted. And icing on the cake is that it runs on a toaster and controller support is great.

Seriously folks, every little detail in this is impressive.

Lucas Pope is a force to be reckoned with, and has clearly shown us they are no one-hit wonder. Return of the Obra Dinn plays like a juicy, magical, indie version of Myst. It's not exactly that, but it's in the same ballpark. Look, I'm going to give you zero details about the game - read nothing and jump in.

This is a must-own for anyone that likes story-driven puzzle games, or frankly, just indie games in general.

Still thinking on that American Tragedy. I need to finish it first, due to it being story driven.

But why I don't see it in your GOTY 2018 list? :)

Great to hear it! I've been looking at this for a while. I like Sherlock Holmes and "pre-CSI tech" mysteries in general.
