When the complex locks down over fear of a nanophage outbreak (a digital plague similar to the novel Snow Crash) Lazarski must work quickly to solve a series of murders and find his son.Īs Observer is a detective story I will not reveal much more of the plot beyond that, but suffice to say there are many ugly characters and places to interact with. Lazarski must investigate a call from his son that comes from the projects of 2084 Krakow, Poland. The story follows Daniel Lazarski, a detective who has license to hack into the minds of the digitally augmented populace in order to investigate their memories. Observer’s plot is very much in line with what I expected. The actual world you navigate is far more disturbing than any creepy crawly. Unlike those games, the monster is the least scary part. It certainly has elements of its modern horror contemporaries like Amnesia and Alien: Isolation, where you are very much at the mercy of the monster that hunts you. Observer: System Redux kind of markets itself as a horror game, and that is a little true.

The PC version was played for this review. It was released on Novemfor PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. Observer: System Redux was developed by Bloober Team and Anshar Studios and published by Bloober Team SA. It looked exactly like the Blade Runner aesthetic I wanted with the noir narrative to match. Now, I never played the original release of Observer, but when the opportunity to play Observer: System Redux came up and I saw a few screenshots, I was all in. And yet with all the Cyberpunk imagery out there, nothing has quite scratched that Blade Runner itch I so desire. We are merely a few short days away from the release of Cyberpunk 2077 at the time of writing after all. It kind of goes without saying the “Cyberpunk” aesthetic is very IN right now.
