The washed turquoise glow of the flickering neon not only contributes to the overall aesthetic of the game, but it also serves to shed a little more light (literally) on the increased detail of the world around you. What was already a dark and oppressive atmosphere is now even more so, and no longer as a direct consequence of the limitations of the hardware. In fact, the nicest thing I can say about it is that it makes the original >Observer_ – a pretty good looking game in its own right – look almost primitive in comparison. The first thing you’ll notice as soon as you get past the opening sequence is that the new lighting model is tremendous. Instead, I’ll focus on those graphical upgrades and gameplay improvements. Given it’s only three years old at this point, and there’s already a review on the site, I’m not going to discuss the story at any great length, other than to say that it holds up now, the cyberpunk motif gives it a very different vibe to your more standard horror games and the three added side story missions provide some nice new moments. We’ve envisioned the DualSense haptic feedback system as a way to better bridge the gap between the experiences players see and hear in the game by tying them to sensations felt in the real world.Now, in 2020 with the launch of the new consoles, Bloober Team have brought > Observer_ back with a fresh lick of paint and some gameplay tweaks – do those tweaks take it from good to great? The team has taken full advantage of everything the PlayStation 5 has to offer, especially all the opportunities to use the DualSense controller to build player immersion. We’re excited to bring our award-winning dark cyberpunk thriller to PlayStation 5 with upgraded visuals and new stories. Here’s Piotr Babieno, CEO of Bloober Team, to tell you just how much better it is: There’s no doubt that Observer: System Redux will look stunning on the new hardware. There’s 4K support, improved textures, fresh models, new animations, and better effects. The game makes full use of next-gen hardware, offering plenty of upgrades to better immerse you in this terrible world. There isn’t a simple port in Observer: System Redux though. This dark dystopian reality thrusts Daniel into a personal quest, one that will determine his fate and that of those around him. In the future, your deepest fears and dreams are at the mercy of Observers. This lets them solve cases much more easily, with the victim’s or suspect’s mind at their disposal. Observers are your standard detectives but with one substantial twist, they possess a tool that can explore people’s minds. Observer: System Redux tells the story of Daniel Lazarski a futuristic detective known as an Observer. You can check out the Observer: System Redux launch trailer below. Observer: System Redux is now available on next-gen consoles and PC, giving next-gen users a taste of its horrors and PC users a facelift. I’m glad to say that as of today, many more will get to play this hidden gem. If you’re one of the few who’s played it, you know exactly what I’m talking about. The mystery main character Daniel Lazarski is thrust into is one filled with unique takes on horror, achieved mostly without jumpscares. Observer is one of those few horror games that doesn’t get too much attention but is among some of the genre’s greats.
