Spoiler

Observer is set in Poland in 2084, a time where the mega corporation Chiron took control of Poland following a catastrophic event known as the digital plague, which took the lives of thousands. The survivors of the terrible war that accompanied the digital plague didn’t get it any better than those who died, as most turned to drugs to distract themselves and escape from a society where even thoughts are under scrutiny by the government and can be used against them at any time. To keep citizens’ thoughts under control, the corporation funded a special police unit called Observers of which the main character Daniel Lazarski is part of. The Observers have the license to hack their targets’ memories and fears through the Dream Eater, and eventually, use them to stop them if they may somewhat threaten the new order.

 

 One day, however, something strange happens to Daniel Lazarski, something that will change his life forever. Receiving a message from his estranged son, the Observer journeys to the Class C slums of Krakow to find his son, not knowing that he will come to learn some uncomfortable truths as well as journey through the deepest and darkest fears of criminals and victims alike.

 

  As far as setting, story, and characters go, Observer is an incredibly interesting game. The dystopian setting is very interesting, with hints of what happened during the digital plague and its aftermaths stimulating players’ curiosity. The story also tackles some issues of our current society and where it might be headed if things get out of control. Daniel Lazarski is also a likable character, despite not being terribly original in his characterization, also thanks to the amazing voice acting work provided by Rutger Hauer, who portrayed the legendary character Roy Batty in Blade Runner. The other characters are also well done, with their fears managing to paint some quite believable pictures. If you like dystopian settings, you definitely won’t be disappointed. On the other hand, horror fans might be slightly disappointed in the game. Unlike Layers of Fear, the main focus of Observer is not the horror element, which is still present, but far from being in the forefront.

 Strictly speaking about the PC version of the game, it’s definitely the best way to enjoy Observer. The game runs great at 1080p, max setting on a machine powered by an i7-3770 CPU, GTX 980 Ti GPU and 16 GB RAM. Among the settings that can be tweaked are the usual Antialiasing, Shadow and Textures quality, Resolution Scalability and others. The game also lets players toggle SSAO, SSR, change SSS quality and enable Separate Translucency, so there’s plenty of possible tweaking if the game doesn’t run well on your machine.

 

   Observer is a very interesting first person adventure game featuring a well-crafted setting and characters as well as the team's signature transitions, which manage to carry everything forward in spite of the gameplay which gets slightly repetitive over time. While the single elements may not be particularly original, the sum of the parts more than makes up for it, making Observers a worthy purchase for fans of psychological horror and dystopian settings.

        Pros

• Very interesting setting and characters
• Beautifully haunting hacking sequences
• Investigative elements

       Cons

• The experience gets slightly repetitive over the course of the game
• Some story twists aren't particularly
• original
• Forced stealth sequences

Καλύτερα βάλε κάποιο άλλο παιχνίδι μην "προσγειωθείς απότομα", ( μπορεί να λέω και μα... και να είναι γα..το ).

Αποσπασματικά που είδα το gameplay του, είναι στυλ γρίφων, εξερεύνησης  και clickable game (νομίζω).

Αν σου αρέσουν τα adventure σε συνδυασμό με τις εναλλαγές στις σκηνές, εφέ (λίγο ψιχεντελικ) θα σου αρέσει.
