Observer Reviews
If you like good, creepy atmosphere, a world that draws you in, and a well done narrative, then you should probably give this horror game a try.
Observer has the capability for telling a great story, but the shallow characters prevent the game from reaching its full potential. The game, despite having some good puzzles, has some problems in the gameplay and fails to excite the gamer. but even with these problems, Bloober Team has created a beautiful cyberpunk world in which even simple walking feels great. Beside, the psychological horror present in the game is great and the fans of the genre will definitely like the Observer for it's horror elements.

Cyberpunk is truly an intriguing environment and as a fan of it, I feel that our world is already drowned into a Cyperpunk-ish spcae. Bloober Team knows this well and with their latest game, Observer, they've shown us their intelligence, though Observer might have some small issues but in overall, it is an excellent and worthy game. If you're a fan of narrative games, be sure not to miss Observer.

I guarantee that if you can overlook some of its shortcomings you will see the best Cyberpunk game in recent memory. This is Bloober Team's best work to this date.

Riding the electric sheep into hell.
As far as budget titles go, this one is a little steep for the relative lack of gameplay and storyline you get packaged with it-- but if you like incredibly detailed and spooky atmospheres coupled with plenty of jump-scares, this one may be worth a buy for you.
Overall Observer is good at what it does, but it's not the sort of place I overly enjoyed being in. Rather than pelting headlong down the horror route, it straddles an awkward thriller line that didn't overly entice me. At no point was I desperate to boot it up and find out what happened next, no doubt partly due to the busy, often dizzying art style that made me feel like I was sat in the back of a hot car on a long journey. For those after a narrative driven, cyberpunk fix Observer certainly fills a hole though, provided you can deal with yet another take on technologies potential impact on humanity.
>observer_ is a wonderful futuristic Cyberpunk adventure game with plenty of detective work that adds the occasional scary thrill. The story is well written and the interrogation scenes are a wild, fun, vivid psychedelic ride.
Observer is a brilliant commingling of cyberpunk and horror. It demostrates how interesting the game concept is and how much Bloober Team has grown.

Observer feels like a step down from Layers of Fear. It's intriguing and mind-bending enough for sure with its atmosphere sure to creep out people. But the lead VA, annoying artefacts and some of the horror elements just don't click.
Observer takes place and memories and turns them into frightening things, dragging the player into realms of terrifying visions that stir up a nameless fear.
Despite the fact that there are some technical and acting issues, Observer absolutely excels.
Observer has some really noticeable issues, including some iffy voice acting, lame stealth segments, pixel hunt puzzles, and crashing issues. However, it's saved by better puzzles, some great imagery, and a story that is worth paying attention to.
A beautifully realised and often harrowing cyberpunk tale let down by repetition and gameplay which is both simple and frustrating in equal measure.
The cyberpunk genre serves as a reflection of where we're headed in society, with more and more technology integrated into everyday life at the cost of our humanity.
A brilliantly unique experience later soddened with unusual game design decisions.
Need a refresher course on all things discordantly cyberpunk-y before October? Look no further. Developer Bloober Team and publishing partner Aspyr settle us in to an unsettling world through a point-and-click exploration of malignant mind and afflicted body.
Unusual but fantastic take on cyberpunk. Observer is an exciting title for every fan of the depressing sci-fi worlds. Not without its faults, the game is worth your attention and your money.

Observer is incredibly solid. It's steeped in narrative and features dark and beautiful environments. It captures the dystopian feel of an uncertain and technologically filled future. And there's certainly enough to spook you or keep you on your toes. No mind interrogation is easy or makes much sense, but you can never fully understand the mind either. Aside from the creepy, intense leaps into other's minds or completing a forensic investigation into a crime scene, much of the story is told through slow exposition. The world is seemingly devoid, and aside from a few places, I never felt pressured or frightened. It was more of a "I'll just keep going this way until something changes." The lack of interactions in the world makes me question a lot of what Lazarski experiences, making it seem like reality is suspect in itself.
The Rutger Hauer-starring cyberpunk noir adventure game >observer_ arrives to the Nintendo Switch in an extremely well-crafted and impressive port.
