Looking for some games where it feels like you’re actually trying to solve something with the clues and secrets you uncover. For example, Disco Elysium actually made me feel like a detective despite how wacky and surreal it could be.

I haven’t played LA Noire yet but that’s on my list. Anything else I should check out? TIA!

    Return of the Obra Dinn is worth checking out like others have mentioned. I also really enjoyed The Case of the Golden Idol, which is somewhat similar.

    I’m surprised no one has mention The Outer Wilds yet. The whole game makes you feel like part detective, part archeologist, and one of the best games I’ve ever played.

      All three of these are fantastic mystery stories. You have to pay some attention to what’s going on, nothing is explicitly spelled out (Golden Idol comes maybe the closest), but you feel SO smart when everything just clicks into place.
