Observer System Redux looks incredible on next-gen consoles, and the improvements to gameplay makes this well worth playing. If you're looking for a psychological thriller to play on your shiny new console, look no further.
Observer: System Redux is well worth playing if you enjoy psychological thrillers, a dash of cyberpunk, and noir detective fiction, and it all looks fantastic on the new consoles. The story has many layers to it, exploring the nature of parent child relationships, corporate domination, human augmentation, and mental health.

Observer: System Redux is the next generation remake of the cyberpunk, detective thriller set in the year 2084 in Krakow, Poland. The world lies in ruins with corporations seizing power after the fall of governments. You do their bidding. No lie will remain hidden from you, as you hack into the minds of those you interrogate. When your past catches-up, you must act on your own and unravel the mystery of your son’s disappearance. Your name is Daniel Lazarski, Amazing as the original one. I like the visual improvement and all. Also the game looks good with or without Ray Tracing. Only way I could tell that Ray Tracing was on was due to a huge FPS hit. Problem solved by turning it off and runs extremely smooth on max settings. Never finished the original one to be honest (had forgotten it) but now I will certainly do so as this is a close to Cyberpunk you can get without playing CP 2077 for. few more days. For the price of admission it's worth picking this one up for our Xbox Series X also. It of course as one would expect it to be absolutely a beauti-FULL experience of the Xbox Series X version as we would expect nothing less.

Observer: System Redux is an intriguing and thrilling dark cyberpunk adventure, finally graced by stunning graphics and some added content. It's got some performance problem and it's still missing the promised ray tracing implementation, but it's definitely a game to play on Xbox Series X.
Observer is still a fascinating game with a compelling story and some really interesting set pieces that both confuse, scare, and bring out emotion. Fans of the adventure genre, especially ones that include investigation and a great cyberpunk coat of paint on it, should pick this one up. Players that already own the original version of Observer may want to think twice if they’re looking for a high-profile visual upgrade. While it’s no slouch in the graphics department, I don’t know if it’s worth double dipping for that.
Depsite these niggles I enjoyed my time with The Observer; it looks great, has atmosphere for days and if you cankeep track of what is going on then there is a lot of additional lore to find and piece together. The mind hack sections were the most engaging parts, with some genuinely clever presentation and execution among some truly bizarre imagery and themes. It might not be Bloobers best work, but it’s worth a look if you’re a fan of the team’s games.
Observer: System Redux is an instant enhancement to the 2017 game. It looks better and plays better, but still has the biggest problem the original had: its slow pace.
Observer System Redux is a prettier, smoother version of a good game, but its setting and characters are so grotesque and dark that it can be hard to get through.
Graphical masterpiece. I have tried this on oled + hdr. What a game. Visually it took my breath. I do not know if on normal configuration it will be similar effect, but wow. Also I like this creepy dark blade runner atmosphere.

Observer es un buen juego, tiene una narrativa compleja que te va llevando a descubrir toda la historia. Las mecánicas son simples, primera persona, investigación, uso de infrarrojos y escaner tecnológico y poco a poco seguir las pistas. Tiene una buena parte de terror psicológico bastante bien llevado. Para mi es una oda a Blade Runner, no solo por el papel protagonista de Rutger Hauer, sino por toda la ambientación, esa lluvia y esas palomas y esa tecnología decadente te lleva a sentirte dentro de esa gran película. Si te gustan las aventuras narrativas, con tintes de terror e investigación te gustará.

Thus, the developers from Bloober Team managed a great step in the right direction with the new version of "Observer: System Redux". The storyline is still convincing nowadays and the gameplay is a lot of fun anyway. However, the game is not suitable for every gamer. The game's controls were not implemented quite well for the new controllers. This can quickly lead to frustrating moments in the gameplay. On the other hand, the graphical performance can provide plus points. Those who would like to play another title on their new console should definitely take a look at "Observer: System Redux".

Great detective game with a dystopian cyberpunk atmosphere. This game is visceral and dark. You play an Observer, basically a detective that can plug into peoples brain implants and view their memories. The setting is the late 2000's where everyone is getting implants and there is a terrifying disease called "nanophage" ravaging the populace. The entire game takes place in one apartment complex but at no time did I find it boring. You are searching for your estranged son but stumble upon something much bigger. Tons of intertwining stories and philosophical concepts to ponder while you find clues and try to retain your sanity.
