During this time, Chiron, a megacorporation, took control of Poland, creating the Fifth Polish Republic, and founding the Observers, a sect of police units charged with special hacking skills. Observer takes place in Krakow, Poland in 2084, after a nanophage took the lives of thousands, resulting in civilians being designated into certain classes depending on numerous factors, such as excessive drug use, or other addictions. You’ll also be equipped with a hacking tool, allowing you to jack into the minds of the living, or the recently deceased. You’ll also have the assistance of 2 visual modes Electromagnetic and Bio vision that alternate between electronic or organic scanning. As an Observer, which is more or less a detective, you’ll piece together clues to solve the crimes or cases you’ll come into contact with. Hallways will distort, twist, or morph in every direction, bombarding you with grotesque imagery and flashy holograms, often with sounds that look to enhance the shock or horror they are paired with. You’ll walk around environments, activating triggers that change or progress the world around you.

With a few other enhancements and a few new quests to take on, Observer: System Redux is easily the best version of this cyber-thriller adventure. With the launch of brand new consoles in the Series X/S and PS5, Bloober Team decided it was time for a facelift, remaking the game to take advantage of HDR lightning, 4K support, and even raytracing, something that just wasn’t possible on previous generation hardware. Back in 2017, Bloober Team, fresh off the success of Layers of Fear, dove into the cyberspace realm with Observer, a cyberpunk detective adventure starring legendary actor, Rutger Hauer. ![]()
