100% worth the asking price

100% worth the asking price. Took me about 9 hours to finish. It's the best detective game I've ever played. Do yourself a favor and don't use a walkthrough. Savor it. If a thick-head like me could finish it without it, you can too.

I am over 50

I am over 50. I have played a lot of games. The Return of the Obra Dinn is one of the best games I have ever played. It is one of those rare cases (though certainly by design) where everything comes together. Story, game play, graphics, challenge level, feeling of accomplishment on advancement. Simply an outstanding piece of work that I enjoyed every moment (even when frustrated) and will remember fondly.

A game so elegantly designed it feels like a magic trick

A game so elegantly designed it feels like a magic trick. The only reason to not play it is you'll be left wanting more games like it and they don't exist.
