Don’t get us wrong, the game looks very good, but it gets most of its appeal from the general atmosphere and the construction of its story. Other than that, we noticed a fair amount of clipping issues and the overall game does not immediately scream ‘next generation’. While most of the time you’ll manage just fine, it can be somewhat hard to process things after a long and hard day of work. This makes the menus sometimes a bit illegible, making it hard to even read certain objectives. The glitchy interface of the game has a nice vibe to it, but it can also irk certain players after a while, especially those who already have issues focusing on certain parts of the game. This actually happens quite early in the game, even with the aforementioned second objective already open and available. Even when getting multiple objectives, you sometimes have to clear one first, before the other one actually works. The latter can be viewed as positive, but at times it’s also a bit unclear what you actually have to do. We have to note that Observer is somewhat less linear than Layers of Fear, as you can engage in a fair amount of side objectives, lengthening the experience a bit. The game is very atmospheric in nature, and this is actually a lot better than just relying on jump-scares for a horror game.
You’ll have that feeling that something is always lurking about, but you can never put your finger on it. While Blair Witch was a bit of a letdown for us, the Layers of Fear games have been amazing experiences, and Observer somewhat feels like the latter. If you have played other games developed by Bloober Team, we’re pretty sure you’ll also like this one. You’ll basically get the same game, albeit with better visuals and some expanded story and gameplay elements. The System Redux version of Observer is the upgraded version of the original.

As we have already done two full reviews on the game, we will only discuss the current improvements, as well as some issues that arose during our playthrough. While the PlayStation 5 version still remains very much the same, albeit, with some small improvements to be relevant for the new generation of consoles, it doesn’t bring that much new to the table for those who already own it. The game, with the legendary Rutger Hauer, proved to be a very interesting cyberpunk horror experience. Back in 20 we took a closer look at Observer for the PC and Switch respectively.
