The gorgeous artwork really captured my imagination though and when I saw that you could try the original Samorost for free I immediately went over to have a gander.Īt first I was sitting there wondering what the hell I was supposed to do, but upon investigating with my mouse pointer, all became abundantly clear. I first learned of its existence in Richard's blog about the sequel, which cost a few bucks. However, there was another gaming moment which blew these out of the water and that was the discovery of Samorost. A free-running game was just what the doctor ordered and I thought it was incredible at providing a sense of speed and fluidity. Mirror’s Edge on the PC, which snuck in at the very beginning of this year, was another contender. Dirt 2 is notable to for being the first racing game that delivers a drift mechanic better than Sega Rally on the Sega Saturn. Borderlands is excellent just for the shock of how awesome the cel-shaded graphics are when you first fire the game up. In the end though I didn’t decide either of these has left a strong enough impression to feature here. My initial two potentials were Borderlands and Colin McRae: Dirt 2. the envelope, please!

Riddle-solving in a cemetery, computer hacking, plus an alcohol additive puzzle and gussying-up an audio file are other highlights. With the world opening up as the game goes on, inventory obstacles provide the bulk of the challenge throughout, but dialogue choices also are important, used to distract and/or to provide key information and clues. But when it comes to Best Gameplay for you readers, there’s nothing like a finely-tuned, good ol’ fashioned point-and-clicker like Kathy Rain. Okay, not really, as Obduction came in a very respectable second.

The wonderfully tactile controls give weight to interactions with myriad buttons, wheels and levers, and the minimalist interface and presentation stays out of the way, allowing you to focus your mental energy on such things as tracking the relative positions of six or seven different teleportation bubbles at once so you can figure out how to maneuver a mine cart from point A on one world to point B on another. And like the best puzzles games, these mechanics become more and more familiar at roughly the same rate that the obstacles become more complex and devious. You’ll need to master everything from base-4 alien mathematics to the mechanics of swap seeds that teleport spherical portions of one world into another. The game gives you room to roam and experiment, but you must pay careful attention to learn and piece things together. Obduction is all about learning the rules of the strange world(s) in which you find yourself trapped. While it stays true to its predecessors’ legacy, it confidently marches into new territory with wonderful new ideas.

And tying the experience together, an intriguing backstory that builds a sense of wonder and mystery to keep you striving ever onward, anxious not just to solve another puzzle, but to learn what’s happened in this eerily deserted world of purple rock formations, twisting railway tracks, and squishy, pock-marked spheres.

It has all the hallmarks of a great Cyan game: a fascinating alien world brought to life with incredible detail, filled to the brim with strange machines and multilayered puzzles that can only be connected through diligent exploration to fully make sense of them all.
