Powered by Unreal Engine 4, Obduction makes the leap from PC to PS4 with just over a year separating the release of the two versions. In another, an access code to an abandoned house can only be divined by finding out the address of the occupant and then messing about with the numbers to get the correct combination.
In one instance, power can only restored once a steady stream of fuel has been secured, prompting you to track the winding mess of cables to their source and then find a way to get the fuel pumping. Onto the puzzles themselves, Obduction leverages a mixture of logic and exploration based conundrums to tickle the brain cells. No, instead Obduction is really all about the puzzle solving, which is a good thing really as the story can prove at times to be both opaque and difficult to follow largely because the almost total lack of human interaction makes the whole experience feel really quite isolated and bereft of atmosphere as a result. Instead, any contact that you have with other people is restricted to an awkwardly shot FMV sequence where they talk at you (rather than with you), from behind a door or a similar such construct.
Now, if you’re hoping to talk and interact with these other folk you have to know for the most part that just isn’t going to happen Obduction simply isn’t that kind of game. Stranded on this alien world, you soon discover that other humans from various time periods have also been marooned here, and have in the years before your arrival carved out an existence for themselves in this unfamiliar environment.
