I did really like Obra Dinn! I thought I might not due to the theme of the game and the color pallette but those worries were gone after playing it. It was a lot of fun piecing the story together. I played both Obra Dinn and Blue Prince with my spouse and I think it made it more enjoyable for me because I tend to hyper focus in on like random details or I’ll look at the big picture and forget other little things, so it was fun to play and experience them together.
I enjoyed Blue Prince but the repeating structure of the game started to wear a bit thin as you progressed. I kinda wish there was a toggle to ensure quicker completion once a person completed the main objective. I didn’t bother to go and finish the extra bits n bobs because I felt like it was just too much busy work at that point.

Obra Dinn and outer wilds are two of my top 3 games ever made. If you liked outer wilds I’m pretty sure you’ll like Obra Dinn.
Blue prince is great until you “win” the first time. After that, imo, it starts falling off. Slowly at first, then harder. I have completionist friends to whom I have given it negative reviews. But if you just want to win and explore the space for a while, even potentially hundreds of hours if you don’t use guides, it’s fun. Don’t start a game day aiming to work on something specific. Work on what comes your way, and it is easily possible to make substantial progress every single game day.
