It's no surprise Obi-Wan Kenobi has many connections, not just with the movies, but with other series, such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels.

However, it also makes multiple references to the 2019 game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which centres around a Padawan called Cal Kestis that's being hunted by Inquisitors.

In the show, the Inquisitors reside on Inquisitorious Fortress on the planet, Nur. Anyone who's played the game should recognise this is the world where Cal faces Darth Vader.

However, there is a couple of subtler nods to Fallen Order you may not have discerned. In the second episode, Obi-Wan uses the Force to stop Leia from falling to her death, even though he's trying to hide the fact he's a Jedi. This scenario is taken directly from the game's opening.

In the fourth episode, Reva brings Leia to the same torture chamber where Trilla and Cere were tortured in Fallen Order. In the same episode, the scene where Obi-Wan breaks the windows to drown the troopers was unmistakably inspired by a specific level in the game.
