So far I've been playing the game at a very slow pace, I think I've only completed the first two major puzzles. But so far both of them have been great, with very logical and sensible in-world solutions. I've always loved the way that the Myst games made most of their puzzles not feel like puzzles. You never had to collect items and use them in crazy combinations to do something that no one in real life would ever consider doing. The majority of the puzzles in Myst and Riven (So far the only two Myst games I've played) really felt like you were just manipulating the world itself the same way the people who lived their used to. I think Obduction captures that feeling perfectly, at least for the start so far.
Also the music is fantastic. It kind of sounds like the Myst/Riven soundtrack with sci-fi elements to them, which I guess is perfect. The game does have to do with aliens of course.
I was very surprised that the game uses real life actors in FMV for all the character interactions too, that's excellent. Honestly I haven't played a lot of games with real actors, but this makes me wish they never dropped in popularity. The FMV scenes are very high quality and don't feel out of place in the game world.
What do you all think?
