![]() Somehow each night was like a fresh start where I would explore and learn a bit more about the story. I would come back the next night and do the same. Each night I played I ended up playing for about an hour or so before getting stuck. I didn’t get to spend too many hours in this world. Daniel must search for every single hint, clue or piece of intel that will help get closer to solving the puzzle. The conversations go from anywhere to normal, strange and troubling. You interrogate and speak with many residents, through their intercoms. After a blackout Daniel is stuck in this building searching for clues and a killer, while the residents are locked up in their apartments - some helpful, others not so much. The story begins with a murder in an apartment complex. Observer is a murder mystery where you uncover new and sometimes valuable information as you progress. There were many moments in the game where I wasn’t sure if something actually happened or if it was a Lazarski hallucination - which I think is pretty cool. ![]() I still don’t know if that’s a creative choice or if Daniel is some sort of cyborg and sees the world this way. The visuals feature a sort of cyberpunk/grunge filter. The game takes place in first-person view which adds an extra layer of spookiness. I definitely got some 90’s future movie vibes from this one (movies like Demolition Man, Judge Dredd, Blade Runner and many others). The year is 2084 in a dystopian, cyberpunk future where the world seems to have been fractured by some sort of virus (not too far from our reality today). In Observer, you play as “an Observer” named Daniel Lazarski. The new additions were better graphics, gameplay and some new story missions. Observer: System Redux is basically a Director’s Cut version. I never played the original Observer so I had to look up the differences between the original and System Redux. Instead what I got was a spooky cyberpunk adventure with Observer: System Redux. I thought of a trailer of a game that was like if they had made the movie Gravity (Sandra Bullock/George Clooney) into a game - I was thinking of Observation. When I first received a review code for Observer: System Redux I was thinking it was some kind of spooky lost in space adventure game. I’m calling this a Pre-Review because I don’t think I have gotten far enough in the game to give a full review, but instead my thoughts on the early gameplay.
