Rutger Hauer as a brain-hacking detective
As a nice little Gamescom surprise, Bloober Team today announced thatObserver: System Reduxwill also be coming to PC. The originalObserverfrom 2017 was a lovely little cyberpunkhorror gamestarring Rutger “crying in the shower” Hauer, and the upcoming System Redux is an expanded and prettied-up version - but was only announced for next-gen consoles. Well, Bloober today not only confirmed a PC release, they released a demo so we can see for ourselves. System Redux won’t be a free upgrade, but it does have a discount if you’re quick.
Observer is a first-person horror game starring Rutger “sobs in the fog” Hauer as a detective whose speciality is jacking into people’s minds to uncover evidence. This can be pretty grim in our grim cyberpunk future, and a real nightmare if you crack the cranium of a corpse. It’s a good game. System Redux builds on that with three extra side-cases to solve, remastered graphics, improvements to the shonky stealth, more secrets, and other bits and pieces.

“This, I think, is a cyberpunk game that captures the social and political aspects of the genre, as well as the body horror and the credibility of the tech,” dear Adam said in ourObserver review. “What it doesn’t have is the cool factor, and that’s because we’re only shown one part of the world – a part where everything has gone to hell and where nobody wants to draw attention to themselves. It’s the Cronenbergian cyberpunk game I never knew I wanted, and it’s shot right into my top ten of the year so far.”
