WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

The year is 2084. The future has turned out much darker than anyone could imagine. First, there was the Nanophage. A digital plague that killed thousands upon thousands of those who chose to augment their minds and bodies.

Then came the War, leaving both the West and the East decimated and shattered. With no one left to seize power, corporations took over and forged their own crooked empires.

You are a tool of corporate oppression. Feared and despised, you hack into the darkest corners of your suspects’ minds. You creep into their dreams, expose their fears, and extract whatever your investigation may require.

You are an Observer.

BECOME A NEURAL DETECTIVE

You play as Daniel Lazarski, an elite investigator of the future portrayed by late cyberpunk icon Rutger Hauer. As an Observer, you hack into the minds of suspects to extract clues and evidence. Anything they felt, thought, or remembered can and will be used to solve your case.

EAT THEIR DREAMS

Using a device known as the Dream Eater, hack into the minds of the dead and dying to relive their final moments, to explore their fears and obsessions. Delve into these twisted neural mazes and search for clues that will help you find the elusive killer. But beware: the deeper you go, the greater the risk of losing your own sanity.

TAKE IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF 2084

Enter a world ravaged by war and cyber-plague, where life is cheap and hope is scarce. Where most people will do anything to escape their grim existence. Virtual realities, mind-altering drugs, neural implants - pick your poison and drift away into a blissful oblivion. But remember, no matter how deep you go, you can never hide from an Observer.

Veteran Observers can dive deeper into this dystopian reality thanks to three brand-new side cases to solve. “Errant Signal”, “Her Fearful Symmetry” and “It Runs in the Family” add another layer of depth to the game’s story while exploring thought-provoking themes of a future that soon might become our present.

On top of that, System Redux offers expanded gameplay, which includes new game mechanics, new secrets to find, redesigned stealth, additional neural interrogations, and quality-of-life improvements made with the help of the Observer community.

Newcomers get the chance to experience one of the most thrilling cyberpunk stories in all its next-gen glory: boasting 4K resolution, upgraded textures, new animations, models and effects, and transformed with jaw-dropping Ray-Tracing and HDR lighting.

I really liked it

I'm a big fan of atmospheric and story-driven walking sims. I generally eschew the really scary ones, but made an exception here. The spooky, pseudo-cyberpunk environment and sound design had me hooked and I played nearly all of it in one sitting (with my face firmly affixed like this D: ). Performance-wise, I was able to play at 2k resolution on high settings with about 30-40fps on a Geforce 970. There were a few crashes to desktop, but the game loaded quickly enough for me to get back in. I really, really enjoyed this experience and look forward to playing some of Bloober's other titles.

Favourite Polish Cyberpunk game of 2020

I absolutely loved the atmosphere, the play with perception, and all the sidestories. As well as the aesthetic of casette futurism. I think the main-plot falls a bit flat towards the end, but I was still very happy with it and the overall presentation really carries the themes of the game in a fantastic way.

A good read but hurts my eyes

I would say it is a pretty great visual cyberpunk novel as game mechanics are pretty limited. In depth exploration of serious themes in a classical cyberpunk setting and well paced sarcasm makes it a recommended game for fans of the genre. However there are some issues that were continuously ruining the experience for me: * Insane head-bob (sort of zooming-in-and-out by the camera) while crouched * Graphical bug, which sometimes, when i loaded the game, made everything super-dark for me (gamma setting became kind of irrelevant), so i was paying some sections with night vision mostly (i am not speaking about the basement section) * Some of the simplest achievements are bugged (here on GOG), because almost nobody got them, while most of the people should have, including me. * Unnecessary mechanics, like injecting yourself with “sanity” drugs. * Text on computer screens is barely readable in many occasions. * Game tries to be scary, but it is really not, it could have been better as a straight up walking sim, without some of the survival horror elements.

Same bugs as before

Beautiful, but with more bugs than the original. RTX support is lackluster on directx11 and brings in a lot of visual bugs. Directx12 just straight up crashes on windows 10/nv2070. Makes some mind invasion scenes really hard to decipher when visuals are all over the place. FOV glitches have to be manually fixed by editing config files. Mouse is still waay too sensitive even when sensitivity is set to zero. Lot of complaints of these issues on the game forums, but no fixes in sight.

Masterpiece

I liked the former game of this team layers of fear but I didn't love it, mostly because of the story but it was still very good. So I tried this one also due to Rutger Hauer and his remarkable voice and the cyberpunk setting. And what a ride it is. The setting, the story, the visuals, even the gameplay mechanics, although sparse, fitted together. For me this is one of the few games that will stick with me forever. The redux version is even much prettier with raytracing and so on. The two and three stars reviews are ridiculous for me. In my opinion this is nothing less than a masterpiece.
