News:: Review: Observer

Polish studio Bloober Team has a knack for making things come alive that aren't supposed to. In Layers of Fear, paintings distort in front of you. In Observer, digital advertisements do the same, and eventually, so do the environments themselves. That's what happens when you find yourself somewhere in between perception and reality.

Observer takes a stack of pages from George Orwell's 1984 and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, but it never feels derivative. Instead, it's a wholly engaging look at the choices we make, how and why we make them, and the consequences they bring. Those concepts are packaged together nicely with a gritty cyberpunk setting and enough body horror to have me feeling just a tad bit sick a couple of times.
