Time travel is often used in fiction as a way to correct the past, or at least try to. When a character screws around with the flow of time, it’s usually out of utter desperation to fix something that sent their whole life veering off course. But for one incredible game celebrating five years since release, time travel is all part of the job.
Return of the Obra Dinn launched on PC October 18, 2018, before finding a much larger audience with its console launch exactly one year later. Before its release, a game about an insurance investigator might not have sounded all that exciting. But thanks to its excellently designed puzzles and unique time travel mechanic, Return of the Obra Dinn makes that quotidian premise thrilling.
