A cyberpunk-style horror game. The game constantly keeps you on edge throughout the entire playthrough. The gameplay itself feels like a fever dream after drinking cheap vodka at 40°C. The graphics and visual style are 10/10. The detective aspect of the game is presented through emails on PCs found in the victims’ apartments. I can’t recommend this game to everyone, because while playing it, there’s a real risk of having an epileptic seizure, a panic attack, or simply feeling like your mind is melting from the visuals and sounds. But if you can make it through, you’ll experience a pretty interesting detective cyberpunk story.
This game is absolutely stunning. In terms of storytelling, character dynamics, depth, detail, and atmospheric aesthetics. I feel completely immersed and especially drawn in by the complexities of the narration. Something about this game that's especially intriguing to me is the ruthlessness and honesty that these tenants display. Maybe it's a lower "Class C" way of life, but I find the way the apartment is laid out, the manner in which the tenants speak about one another, and the way some of these characters live, to be refreshingly honest and grotesque in a way that really speaks to reality. My favorite part of this game definitely has to be the "Ex Machina"-esque aspects to it. Something about humanizing the robot that answered the door for her "Master", following the digital distress calls, and finding the room of pleasure bots calling for help - it was uncomfortable, it was disturbing, and as a woman, it made my heart hurt - these machines gaining sentience, not wanting to be used, not being able to fully fight back. I feel like this speaks to a lot of women, especially with where technology is headed. I especially found it entertaining that in "Her Fearful Symmetry", one of the tenants found himself to be seduced by, what I assume to be, the AI in the building itself. His neural interrogation, where we, as the player character, have to basically become lured ourselves, following the "siren trail" through his mind that ultimately led him to his demise - I think it says a lot, and it was outstanding storytelling. Thank you for this game. It will definitely stick with me for a very long time. Looking forward to playing the original next.
Law and Order on crack dreaming about Stranger Things after watching Blade Runner Basically a walking simulator. Visually stunning, art direction is stellar, story is interesting, the voice acting is top-notch--it's just too short. I got it on sale for under 10 bucks so I ain't mad, I just.. I wish there was more content. More sidequests, more items, more world. They built this beautiful wonderous and also ugly world and it's just so small. This feels like the first couple episodes of a whole Netflix series, when I got to the end of the game, I was like, "that's it?" It's a great game, it just needs more. Maybe there's some stuff I missed, I dunno. I love it, what is there it's excellent, I'm just disappointed at the length. On sale, worth a buy RIP Rutger Hauer. And what a great final role, he really nails it. His voice hits me right in the heart, there's this humble wisdom about the character. I just wish I could hear more
One of the best cyberpunk universes to date. I really appreciate how grim and visceral the atmosphere is, with the unending haphazardous wiring, exposed electronics and walls caked with filth and blood. A world in desparate poverty and hopelessness with cruelty and violence oozing from every pore and crevice. It's so refreshing to see a cyberpunk setting, that doesn't fall into the trap of power fantasy steeped in flashy augmetics and loud guns, where social commentary falling to the wayside. In Observer you aren't the big bad wolf or some boogeyman who haunts the corporations, but a fairly regular guy who has to exist within the system and contend with its inherent violence.
The Darkest Cyberpunk Universe ...that would make even Cyberpunk 2077 feel like Disneyland So, this is a positive review, but I would still like to start with an important note: this game is FAR from perfect. Why this game sucks? 1. The game crashes pretty often. I had the game completely shut down on me around 5–7 times without any warning, and this is a very critical issue. I would assume that it can't really work well in a multi-display environment. When I received some notification from another app, or decided to play some song in the background, or refer to some guides, the game just crashed from time to time when I left the main screen. And this sucks. 2. The game is buggy. One example: I received a quest to check a specific flat, then played for 1–2 hours, saved the game, and came back the next day. I found the flat for the quest, and it's just closed, without any reaction. My quest log? Empty! Like there was no quest at all! I'm too far from the previous save, so I found a workaround: literally call every door again (without any reason, obviously), and then the quest gets added to my log again! And then I finally can open the door. This is why I always felt uncertain throughout the whole game. Am I stupid? Or is this game bugged out? Is it my mistake, or do I have to restart? Because of this, I had to read the guide from time to time to ensure that it was not a game issue. And guides? Yeah, a bit tricky to use, because the game wanted to crash whenever I was googling something on a different screen. 3. The neural overlays are difficult to get used to. A big part of this game is about scanning things with your enhanced vision. It looks extremely cool aesthetically, it's a very nice concept, but it makes it difficult to play the game for a long time. It took me about 10 hours to finish the game, which I had planned to complete over the weekend, but I was getting tired pretty easily, and it took me ~10 sessions to complete. I just needed a break before I continued. And all of this while I'm still heavily captivated by the plot and the atmosphere! It just feels sad that this is the "System Redux" edition, and it's still messy enough to make you hate the game from time to time. If you are still reading this, thank you. Now to the good part. Why is this game great? Well, my initial expectations were about a cool-looking cyberpunk Krakow. You see, Krakow is a very beautiful city with a rich history, so seeing the not-so-distant dark future in familiar surroundings would be fun. However, I was kinda wrong, because the whole story is basically in a couple of buildings, or a small neighborhood, if you want. It ruined my expectations, but my expectations here are just my problem, because everything else was great. This is the darkest, most grim way to show cyberpunk in a game. You are not seeing people who are living good lives. You are locked in the poorest, shadiest, and most dangerous neighborhood possible. And it's not like "wow these guys do crime here," it's devastating just to see how those people live, what they face every day, and you start understanding why they do the crimes. This is not just being in the wrong neighborhood; you still feel pretty much safe playing this game. This is more about the gloomy and slow realization that life sucks. People just suffer and try to survive the harsh and ruthless reality, trying to run from it, trying to fight it, and they always lose. This is not your cool neon-vibes high-tech paradise with some flaws, this is quite the opposite. And this hits hard. Well, I made too many comparisons to Cyberpunk 2077, so why not, we continue. In Cyberpunk 2077, there are braindances. But seeing someone's memories like it's a movie recording feels bleak after seeing Observer's way. Each time you get into someone else's brain (which you do like 10 times), you are stepping into bizarre stories, like you are a part of a dream or a nightmare. Not a lot of things make sense; everything is shown and told in very obscure, fragmented ways. Geometry and the physics of time and space do not exist there. And most importantly, after seeing a mosaic of strange events, it does make sense to you. No, really, I can't praise the storytelling in this game enough. It's subtle. It's indirect. It's unique. And after every connection, after every observed life, I wanted to see more destinies, more lives and deaths through these lenses. And even the ending left me speechless for a moment, because the story concludes with something that fits the overall mood of the game, and it does not feel fake or predictable. If you are ready to close your eyes on the technical state of the game, and you like the cyberpunk setting, then you should try Observer
