It’s hard to describe just how strange Observer gets.

In doing so, players access the confused, disturbing jumble of thoughts and memories that live in people’s heads – Psychonauts this ain’t.

But really, that’s just an excuse to throw players into a series of increasingly bizarre mindscapes, thanks to Lazarki’s ability to “hack” brains. Nominally, you star as the Rutger Hauer-voiced detective Daniel Lazarski, investigating a series of murders in a near-future apartment complex. Observer: System Redux is a marvellously confusing game. That said, for the sheer experimental audacity on display, I highly encourage even the mildly interested to check it out. Whether you find the above descriptor appealing or appalling will likely inform your interest in this game. The 2017 cyberpunk-horror-madhouse has just received a very welcome next-gen remaster, making it easily one of the most disturbing games on modern consoles. There are a handful of games that might be called Lynchian, but very few that could rightly be called Lynchian-at-his-most-surreal- The Return, Part 8-wildest. If you liked Blade Runner, and you can stomach some disturbing imagery, you’ll enjoy this. Available now for PS5 (Reviewed), PS4, Windows, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. Our review of Observer: System Redux, developed by Bloober Team.
