Though the gameplay is fine, the graphics are great and the sound design is excellent, I have to echo the common sentiment that the story starts out engaging and completely disintegrates toward the end. It abandons an interesting cyberpunk murder mystery to poorly explore themes other stories (specifically a certain other, more famous horror walking sim) have done better. Regardless, I'd still actually recommend Observer because the first three quarters or so are done really well, especially considering this is by the same guys that made that absolute snoozefest The Medium. I'm a huge Blade Runner and Rutger Hauer mark so maybe that factors into it, but even so I can't pretend I didn't enjoy it. Does that mean I have faith in Bloober's Silent Hill 2 remake?
