This might be one of the best looking games I’ve played in the last few years.īloober Team has a bit of a reputation for making “walking-simulator” games which is a rather dismissive title for games that can, potentially, provide a very enthralling narrative experience. The real-world elements are grimy and decrepit because fewer and fewer people are caring about the ‘real world’ as it were. Everywhere is covered in augmented reality advertising or green panels that exist for no reason other than to look cyberpunk. It perfectly captures the overwhelming vibe of a cyberpunk dystopia. I was okay with the character’s relatively slow walk speed because every inch of this game is something to look at. This game’s design and graphics drew me in like very few games have done in the past. Even without the added immersion of a VR headset (which this game does not support, for reference). This game is lovingly crafted to make a very real, very subtle and scary world. I’ve already said that I think System Redux is a graphically superior game to its predecessor but is it a graphically impressive game in its own right? Absolutely. Shortly after the tenement building he’s in gets locked down and Dan has to follow a trail of clues to find his son. There he finds a corpse in his son’s apartment without a head, thus preventing him from confirming the identity. Right?Īt the start of the story, Dan gets a call from his estranged son and goes to investigate. This is mostly used for interrogation purposes in order to more expediently solve crimes rather than wait for a killer to confess why not just look through his mind and watch him murder the victim? Right? Totally not a terrifying invasion of privacy and human rights that I could never see any of our governments doing. You play as Dan Lazarski and ‘Observer’ which is a type of police officer who has a cybernetic enhancement that allows them to sift through the memories of people. However, there were just a few problems which I will explain more about later. I personally had never played the original but had seen the first hour or so in a ‘Let’s Play.’ So I when the code landed on our internet doorstep I thought “now’s a good opportunity to finish the story I started viewing 3 years ago.” I’m not going to go so far and say I’m disappointed because overall I did enjoy my time with System Redux. It’s honestly rather stunning looking at the two side by side and seeing a lot of love and care went into this games remaster that resulted in a genuinely superior product. You might think it’s rather bold of a developer to remaster a game that came out 3 years ago and I wouldn’t necessarily disagree if it wasn’t for the fact that System Redux looks so much better. It features enhanced visuals and some extra side quests for fans of the first game to get that extra fix from. Observer System Reduxis a remaster of Bloober Team‘s 2017 game Observer. *DISCLOSURE: This game was provided to us by Bloober Team for the purpose of review*
