It feels like new games are just more of the same, with no real meaning. However I recently started playing "Return of the Obra Dihn" and love open ended deduction in it. It feels like I'm actually figuring things out by myself without being handheld through it. Are there any other games that don't coddle the player that you guys recommend?

I've tried it, but couldn't really get into it. Didn't feel like there was much deduction, but more just evidence collecting. However I didn't play for too long and I'm planning to try again. I assume it takes same time to get invested

Maybe you should try a more chaotic approach to solving the crimes in that game, like Josh does in this video

That's a link to a video from Let's Game it Out. Josh's thing is playing games the "wrongest" way possible.
