Just Adventure
One of the true classics of the adventure genre.

Four Fat Chicks
A classic. That's what it is. Obsidian may be the most innovative, imaginative puzzle adventure ever conceived.

PC Gamer
Obsidian manages to distinguish itself as a truly different adventure, where traditional puzzling melds with abstract thought. [May 1997, p.124]

Game Revolution
A deep puzzle game, and is in many ways better than "Myst." It takes the genre one step further, upping the ante if you will. If you enjoyed Myst, or are just yearning for a good puzzle, you'll love Obsidian.

Computer Games Magazine
Anyone who appreciates this particular corner of the genre, Myst fanatics especially, will find here a perilous, riveting, sometimes humorous journey through an awe-inspiring, breathtaking environment. Even with its limited exploration possibilities and a "puzzle grimace" here and there, it’s a trip you’ll want to take.

Adrenaline Vault
I'm not a big puzzle game fan, but this title did contain situations which were able to hold my interest - at least, for a while. The luscious graphics come at a "disk-swapping" price.

Adventure Gamers
A slightly above average sci-fi adventure; recommended for those who don't mind slideshow adventures.
