Now on par with some of the AAA titles out there, it’s almost like seeing the recently passed actor as though he was being filmed rather than computer-generated. The lighting system also makes the visuals a bit less dark, giving the details in the environment more opportunity to pop out at you.Ĭharacter (facial) models have also been improved, and this is most apparent when looking at Rutger Hauer’s Daniel Lazarski. Picture neon lights shining through a thin layer of fog – it’s something I’ve never seen portrayed in a videogame this convincingly. This was also a game full of mood and atmosphere, but this new version features much-improved lighting effects that makes scenes look far more realistic and less like a computer effect. The more eye-catching changes, especially for players who previously played Observer, are technical in nature. If you stick to the core narrative you won’t notice much of a difference, but System Redux features three additional missions that add to the lore and world building while at the same time making sure they organically fit with what was already there. Mixing horror and cyberpunk (a bit like this year’s Transient from Iceberg), Observer is largely unchanged but does feature a few gameplay modifications on top of the visual boost that comes with the ‘next gen’ treatment that the game received. Passing both of those versions by, I played it on a PC. Originally scheduled as an Xbox exclusive on consoles, it was also just released (as a surprise) for the PS5 when it launched. When the remade/remastered System Redux version was announced, I shelved that plan and waited for the new next gen release instead. Observer wasn’t released that long ago, and was actually still on my backlog of games to complete after abandoning it halfway through about a year ago. Up today are Bloober Team’s second crack at Observer with Observer: System Redux, and the P.T-inspired visage, which is definitely in the running for the creepiest title of the year. Halloween may have come and gone, but we’re not ready to stop reviewing horror titles just yet.
