Yes, it has a striking art style. Yes, it features a great soundtrack, along with some great voice acting. But what makes Return of the Obra Dinn such a gem, is that it features one of the most effective uses of subtle storytelling I’ve seen done in a game, which is delivered through simple, yet effective, mechanics and elegant writing.
