If you are up for a dystopian cyberpunk adventure delving deep into the darkest corners of human psyche, Observer: System Redux is here to fulfill your dreams. Perfected with unbelievably artistic visuals and creative environmental details, this game will offer you an experience like no other. The characters’ life stories are engrossing, some of them containing extremely dark and disgusting topics that could as well be reality in the near future.

The gameplay is nice enough to keep you invested, varying from inspecting the gorgeous game world by using Daniel’s special abilities to interrogating tenants, finding collectibles and hacking into people’s minds. There are some stealth sections here and there involving a creepy enemy, but they’re no nightmare fuel. Still, I would say Observer: System Redux is the scariest Bloober Team title so far - the way it creates a constant sense of uneasiness is truly worth mentioning. The clunky controls irked me to some extent, because the protagonist’s slow reactions sometimes resulted in frustrating deaths, but they didn’t hurt the overall experience.

In a nutshell, Observer: System Redux is a great and entertaining horror game with some minor flaws in it. It’s that type of game where you must stop and marvel at the genius execution of the cyberpunk-themed work of art. The dream eater sequences might make you nauseous due to the overuse of flashing lights, but if you can stomach them, you are about to find yourself in one of the most memorable scifi-rides.
