Even though I'm sure by now almost anybody who's heard of Lucas Pope and likes his games has already played "Return of the Obra Dinn" I really want to express my sincere awe at Pope's creativity and skill to create a game that is challenging in an entirely unusual fashion.
I've finished the game in one go which it took me all day but boy was it worth it! I want to stress that even though some scenes in the game surprise the player by presenting something completely unexpected, there are no elements designed to be scary (no jump scares and such) even though the atmosphere is a bit daunting throughout the whole game. That is only natural, considering the somewhat macabre principal game mechanic: Exploring visions of people's moment of death, trying to identify them and figuring out how exactly their life came to an end.
All in all "Return of the Obra Dinn" is a very intriguing and even enjoyable puzzle / mistery game and I am pleased to recommend it to everybody who is into this sort of thing.
