    Great cyberpunk, horror, detective game. The art and graphic scenes in this game are probably some of the craziest most creative I have ever witnessed. The gameplay itself can be very dull or slow but the story and atmosphere are something to behold. Not for every type of player as the game can be slow a walking simulator. This game should be in everyones library regardless.

    Good game. I thought that I would not like this game because it feels like a walking simulator with no fighting but the more I played it the more I liked it. I ike that this game is different. It has Interesting settings in imagined polish cyberpunk city. Graphics are nice , it has good story, good horror elements. Artwork direction is inspired by polish city Cracow where the studio isGood game.

Artwork direction is inspired by polish city Cracow where the studio is located. Old "kamienica" is the example of the inspiration. (kamienica is the building that the game takes place). i would recommend it to anyone who likes horror or cyperpunk style games. (one suggestion: play this game with headphones, way better experience than with TV speakers)… Expand

    Este juego es muy bueno, a pesar de tener fallos (como puede ser la voz de algunos personajes, descoordinación en el tempo de algunos pocos diálogos, repetición de actores de voz en npc's, estos pasan desapercibidos en la primera partida y para cuando lo termines, desde mi punto de vista no puede afectar a una valoración considerando sobre todo que el juego es indie) , estos quedanEste juego es muy bueno, a pesar de tener fallos (como puede ser la voz de algunos personajes, descoordinación en el tempo de algunos pocos diálogos, repetición de actores de voz en npc's, estos pasan desapercibidos en la primera partida y para cuando lo termines, desde mi punto de vista no puede afectar a una valoración considerando sobre todo que el juego es indie) , estos quedan opacados por la ambientación, narrativa y cuidado en detalles que te hace creerte que ese de verdad es un mundo cyberpunk y que a pesar de tener avances tecnológicos tienen problemas sociales parecidos al mundo actual.
    La atmosfera del juego es bellísima, el unreal engine 4 luce genial, los efectos de sonido están bien cuidados, solo tienes que tener las ganas de jugar este tipo de juego, la historia esta separada por partes (los avances de trama se dan cuando Daniel usa el Observer) y es en la parte final donde el juego te va a explicar los puntos donde fue dejando huecos así que tienes que tener paciencia para entenderla porque hay momentos muy wtf, si lo juegas una segunda vez vas a entender mejor el juego y notar que de verdad el juego tiene una historia unida con cuidado, también tiene subtramas repartidas por el edificio, pequeños homenajes a bladerunner o P.T. ,se nota que el juego fue hecho con cariño.
    Recomiendo este juego 100%, sobre todo con cascos y luces apagadas es bestial.    … Expand

    Очень атмосферная игра, которая правильно передает атмосферу киберпанка, при прохождении может показаться пустоватой и затянутой, но если нравится неокибернуар и голос рутгера хауера, в ней хочется провести хоть всю жизнь. Красивая графика, привычный геймплей как во всех симуляторах ходьбы типа леерс оф фир, ощущение гнетущего одиночества, психоделические трипы по глубинам разума - короче,Очень атмосферная игра, которая правильно передает атмосферу киберпанка, при прохождении может показаться пустоватой и затянутой, но если нравится неокибернуар и голос рутгера хауера, в ней хочется провести хоть всю жизнь.

    First of all, I want to say this: in no case do not ignore the warning about possible epilepsy at the very beginning of the game. I know very well that literally everyone (except the really weak ones for this thing) ignore this warning because it's "oh well, it's nothing", but this particular game produces several of these scenes and cases, after which it can make you sick because of theFirst of all, I want to say this: in no case do not ignore the warning about possible epilepsy at the very beginning of the game. I know very well that literally everyone (except the really weak ones for this thing) ignore this warning because it's "oh well, it's nothing", but this particular game produces several of these scenes and cases, after which it can make you sick because of the crazy visual kaleidoscope, glare, flickering and other picture-orgies. Don't ignore it!

    So, I liked the story. It's simple, somewhat predictable, but still interesting and fits to game's plot. Very dense good atmosphere with all those cables, holo-tables and creepy screens. I liked it.
    Not very hard or various puzzles, but they bring their own variety to the endless walking along the dilapidated and dirty corridors of the hotel.

    The game-play itself is a little boring, but very interesting. In addition to the wildly nauseating flickering in the mentioned above scenes, there was only one more thing that annoyed me in this game: the crooked primitive stealth, but otherwise I liked the game. It's not particularly long, so it doesn't get boring when you start to feel like you're getting tired of its storytelling.    … Expand

    The game may be good, but Bloober Team's maximally stupid position is not. That's why I give you the lowest score for your decision.

    This is a horror game? and next gen games?
    The Bloober Team has created another boring walking simulator.
    They started destroying my eyes as well as frustrating.

    I don't know what has evolved
    Boredom has no generation

    Observer: System Redux uses familiar sci-fi themes to create a compelling murder mystery in a haunting dystopian future. Though it takes place entirely in a derelict apartment building, the setting never feels restrictive, thanks in part to the clever mind-hacking sequences that let you explore the victims’ memories. It’s genuinely creepy, with the constantly building tension only interrupted by a few frustrating stealth sequences that feel like they came from another game. Even so, Observer: System Redux is a great display of survival horror storytelling.

    Observer: System Redux is a clear improvement of the original game by giving it the graphic engine of the most recent Bloober Team games. The three new investigations deepen the themes of the game and this is good news as the universe of Observer is thought-provoking. The slightly shaky infiltration phases of the original version are still present and the way Bloober Team creates a horrific atmosphere based on jumpscares and aggressive staging is still a bit tiring. Observer has enough trump cards up its sleeve to offer a solid cyberpunk thriller to fans of the genre.

    The new version of Observer goes beyond a visual touch up and offers some gameplay improvements along with a splash of new story content (additional small investigations). And that’s fine, but did we really need a remaster of a game released three years ago? [01/2021, p.35]
