It seems that someone in the slums is occupied with human trafficking…” Following this lead means that Dan will get to know the ugly underbelly of Krakow 2048 better than he’d like to.

Observer is a very interesting first person adventure game featuring a well-crafted setting and characters as well as the team's signature transitions, which manage to carry everything forward in spite of the gameplay which gets slightly repetitive over time.

Spaziogames - Domenico Musicò - Italian - 8 / 10.0 Whether or not you suffer from simulator sickness, Bloober Team's latest, Observer, will make you queasy.

Game Revolution - Brittany Vincent - 4.5 / 5 stars Observer is a tense combination of sci-fi and horror, and one of the best cyberpunk games in years
