Whether or not you suffer from simulator sickness, Bloober Team's latest, Observer, will make you queasy. Slant Magazine - Aaron Riccio - 3 / 5 stars The nightmares contrast wonderfully with an atmospheric and detailed cyberpunk world that is always fascinating to explore. Observer features remarkable trips through fictional minds that unsettle and terrify without relying on excessive jump scares. But the lead VA, annoying artefacts and some of the horror elements just don't click.īloober Team has taken what they learned with Layers of Fear and delivered a more immersive world, and a equally as creepy story, even if the gameplay does get in the way of itself from time to time. It's intriguing and mind-bending enough for sure with its atmosphere sure to creep out people. Observer feels like a step down from Layers of Fear. This mind-bending cyberpunk masterpiece is a grim yet beautiful descent into the hell of being human. If you think you have the stomach for it, this could be one of the biggest surprises of the year. Still, if you are looking for a horror game this summer, you could do far worse.Īs it turns out, the future is not bright in this neo-noir detective game with a horror twist.Ĭombining investigation, exploration, stealth, puzzles, and a near constant barrage of horror, Observer is a meticulously created game that rarely puts a foot wrong. Observer is a good psychological horror game with some minor road blocks that ultimately hold it back. Gamers Heroes - Johnny Hurricane - 7 / 10 If you're looking to be simultaneously terrified and intrigued, you need to spend a few days with Daniel Lazarski as an Observer. It may be a little unorthodox, but it's executed fantastically. Its grimy characters, seedy underbelly of futuristic Poland, and uncomfortably bizarre storylines combine to make some of the greatest experiences I've ever had in gaming. Observer may only take nine or ten hours to complete, or a little longer if you search through the rubble even more so for collectible cards, and it feels like watching an excellent art house cyberpunk film every second. Game Revolution - Brittany Vincent - 4.5 / 5 stars Follow him on Twitter.Observer is a tense combination of sci-fi and horror, and one of the best cyberpunk games in years Joe Skrebels is IGN's Executive Editor of News.

Observer: System Redux isn't the only next-gen game being worked on by Bloober - the Polish horror experts recently announced The Medium for PC and Xbox Series X. We named it one of the best horror games of 2017, one of the 25 scariest games of the current console generation, and one of the best cyberpunk games to tide you over until Cyberpunk 2077 arrives. Observer stars the late Rutger Hauer - playing a detective in a dystopian, futuristic Krakow. Those additions include a storyline titled Her Fearful Symmetry, "a psychotic love story explored through the lens of the game’s dystopian and trans-humanist themes." Bloober estimates that the game will take 20% longer to finish than the original.

It's not just cosmetic, either - System Redux adds new story content to the game, as well as new neural interrogation sequences and brand new puzzles.

HDR and Ray Tracing support has allowed for a huge lighting upgrade (and, if you've played Observer, you'll know that lighting is a huge element of its atmosphere). The game also uses next-gen consoles' SSD drives to massively reduce loading times, to a level where Bloober says they will be "mostly unnoticeable" to the player. System Redux now includes 4K textures and improved assets, higher quality animations, improved character models and upgraded particle effects. As you might expect, the game will run at 4K / 60 frames per second.
