Obra Dinn is one of my favorites of all time.

[–] jballs 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Never heard of it. Is it a story heavy game? My Steam account says it's similar to Hollow Knight and Ace Attorney, which seems like two completely different games.

I suppose you could say it's story heavy since what you're doing is piecing together what happened on the ship. The story is that you're a insurance investigator and have to find out what happened to every person that was on the Obra Dinn. It's a great game. If it matters, it's a Lucas Pope game, the guy who made Papers Please.

Ooooo I do love some Papers Please. I'll check it out. Thanks!

Got it last night and played it for about an hour. Definitely a unique and interesting game! I'm enjoying it so far.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I don't think there are any games that are similar to Obra Dinn, it's very unique.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I just started it yesterday- got my first 9 completed!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Dude, that last guy. It was such tricky thing

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I see Obra Dinn, I upvote. What an amazing game.

I'd call it the best detective game if it wasn't for the shadow of the doubt

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I picked up En Garde recently because I absolutely adore the tone, setting and swashbuckling duelist vibe.

It's a little flat for me, I don't feel like it has achieved the character fantasy of being a swashbuckler in the mechanics, instead I'm basically kicking boxes into people and stabbing them again and again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

It's really hard at the beginning

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm not a fan of the bleakness of souls games but maybe I'd like En Garde better, it looks like a lot of fun

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I wouldn't call it a soulslike really. Beyond being an over the shoulder melee game, it's more of a classic PS2 era adventure game.

Hypnospace is SOOOOO GOOOOD if you grew up in the 90s on the internet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Just bought, want to try
