The entire game feels better anchored in reality than other cyberpunk themed videogames, clearly targeting a more mature audience. Instead of hunting down androids, Dan has to face the filth hidden in the dark corners of human nature, by investigating more mundane crimes. The story is centered around Dan Lazarski, a police detective, that reminds us of a burnt-out Blade Runner. As a result, the story in Observer Redux System is less convoluted and better explained, the relations among the characters are more obvious, and the plot unravels in a way that is easier to follow. The developers apparently listened to all the feedback and decided to give another go to their game, trying to better represent their vision. Despite the skillful voice acting by Rutger Hauer, the original Observer did not get universal praise due to several issues, including the inconsequential visual representation interfering with the puzzles and the immersion in the game world. It remains a first-person adventure game, where you will have to navigate both the surrounding reality and the fictive world built on memories, in order to put together an intricately woven and hidden story. Observer System Redux although has updated graphics, and some tweaks here and there, but in essence does not change the basics of the original game. Observer System Redux is not quite a new game, rather a rerelease for the current-gen of a three years old dark adventure, starring the late Rutger Hauer. In a previous review we already talked about the charming experience presented by Cloudpunk, and today we present another adventure game set in a dystopian future. While Cyberpunk 2077 still struggles with countless problems, in its shadow other games strive to reach the light of our screens. There is life in the sci-fi world of cyberpunk beyond the issues and daily updates from CD Projekt RED.
