Finally got around to *Obduction*.
Oh, I love it. I start each session with a certain amount of reverence. Turn off the lights, draw curtains, shut the office door, get comfy, immerse.
I would rate the puzzles in *The Witness* as better proper puzzles. But the atmosphere and story of *Obduction* are much stronger. Amazingly large spaces to explore, with it all feeling carefully designed.
There is some joyful consistency in how the world works. Thrilling moments when cool things happen, and if you were paying attention, you'll know that they had to work that way.
It was playable, but just barely, on a 2016 iMac which I had designated as my less-important gaming machine. But in the end, I needed to run it on my 2019 iMac with SSD to get enjoyable performance. Too many frame rate drops on the slightly old compy.
