3-3.5/5, "walking-sim" in space

The concept is great, the controls and ui are seemingly intentionally horrid. Most of the time you're controlling VERY slowly rotating cameras, but when you get some freedom with "orb-mode", it gets bad. The orb has very delayed controls and narrow fov, which at least made me get completely lost and turned around in a single hallway. It gets worse as each "bonk" with a wall distorts the screen and nudges the orb to random direections. Controlling the darn thing is a trial. Flying outside the station trying to find "clamp controls" is a needle & haystack situation. Most of the puzzles are fairly straightforward, but instructions can occasionally be deliberately vague. Most computer systems you interact are designed by misanthropes, these UIs are not meant for humans. No technical issues, apart from the narrow fov at times. Lots of flashing lights, though. Overall I did like it. Bit confusing at times.

Scifi puzzler

Controlling an AI, you use cameras and drones to solve a variety of puzzles on a modern space station. Most of the puzzles are good, some are a bit vague or require you to look for an item, except you're not exactly sure what to look for. There are some bugs and graphical glitches, but I didn't encounter anything game breaking. The controls could use some work too as they seem to be optimized for a controller. Play it if you're into puzzle games. The plot is good and not too long considering. There's a hint of horror thrown into the mix at times also.

A Pretty Solid Sci-fi/Horror Game

Having finished Observation in around 10 hours, the main thing I've taken away from it is the atmosphere and forboading sense of the unknown. The unnerving mood and feeling of isolation while roaming around a seemingly abandoned space station is this game's strongest quality. The story itself is a mindbending mystery that is drip fed as players progress through each objective, trying to find out what happened on this space station, while simultaniously trying to keep the station running. All of these positives are then wrapped together with some fantastic voice acting, as the fear and dread is expertly portrayed through not only the denizons of the space station but by the station's A.I., known as SAM. If science fiction and horror indies are your bread and butter, then I couldn't recommend Observation anymore.

An adventure game for technophiles

Like No Code's previous game, Stories Untold, this game has you fiddle with many technical gadgets and machinery that look authentic and seem inspired by real-life technology. If you don't have your inner technophile, the milieu of this game will probably turn you off. Those who've played Stories Untold know part of the drill: you face a bunch of mini-game-like challenges wrapped in a fairly engrossing narrative involving the wonder, apprehension, and bewilderment in a scientific setting. This game also allows free first-person movement in a 3D environment, as well as certain amount of pixel-hunting and logic puzzle-solving (hence, I would categorize this as an adventure game). The game succeeds in immersing you and surrounding you with nothing but technology. You couldn't get any more immersed because you actually play the main AI on board a space station! You often see unique points of view of what is inside of you as you are crunching numbers. You also get to space-walk by remote controlling a mobile device. And fans of the classic 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey can pick up several references of it (visually and thematically) with ease.

story/graphics good, everything else bad

Pros: The story is a recombination of lots of different space sci-fi movies/books themes that comes together in a (sometimes) original way Voice acting is decent Cons: Very limited oppertinues to interact with main character Walking Simulator Puzzle-game kinda like Myst or 7th Guest SLOW camera movement No save game feature: was not clear if my game was being saved or not the whoile time... (it was) Puzzles are either very simple (copy this number from one side of the screen to the other is like 50% of them) or totally uninitiative treasure hunting elements of the UI or for notes can be very frustrating One of those trendy "unclear endings" where the writers are too lazy to even try to make the end / story make any sense. Your choices MAKE ZERO difference to the story, you are just watching it happen no matter what you do Despite the fact that you control the camera as the ship's AI, you have that powered ripped away from you every 10 minutes for some cutscreen that you could easily have watched with your own camera angles and not lost that immersion. some buggy face animations that completely take you out of the game (unacceptable given that you spend a lot of the game staring one person more or less in the fact). Conclusion: I love this genre of space thriller, but even if it is on sale, it just isn't worth the time to beat it. Just not that fun, even if at times interesting and even beautiful. I just don't get the praise for this game, other than people who like the story so much they didnt notice the other flaws OR maybe it is just being hyped-up by all the usual suspects in gaming "journalism" because of the female protagionist. There are a lot of better sci-fi space video games out there that you should play before this one... All 3 of the Mass Rffect Games, Galatic Civilzation 3, Offworld Trading Company, Alien Isolation, Deadspace 1-3, Prey, Rimworld, Star Control 2 remake, Portal 1-2, Half-life (all), Star Wars: KOTOR (all).
