But I think that it says something important about this game’s story. I apologize for droning on so much about the story before actually giving my opinion on it-I know that it’s even worse than usual in this review. Determined to prove to himself that the bloody, headless corpse in his son’s apartment somehow isn’t his son, and unable to go anywhere else, Lazarski begins exploring the apartment complex-entirely unaware of the horrors awaiting him further inside.įriends are few and far between in this game cherish the few that you have. Once inside of the building, Lazarski actually does manage to find his son…’s decapitated body and then subsequently finds himself trapped inside the building due to an unexpected lockdown. The game begins with protagonist Daniel Lazarski, who works for the Krakow Police Department as an Observer-special KPD agents equipped with implants that allow them to interrogate people by directly plugging into their minds-receiving a call for help from his borderline-estranged son and tracking him down to a dilapidated apartment complex in a not-so-great part of town. System Redux takes place in 2084, in a highly futuristic version of Krakow, Poland that is trying to recover after having been torn asunder by the nanophage-an extremely deadly disease that can only be contracted by cybernetically modified humans (which is almost the entire human population by this point). I probably shouldn’t do that, though, so, instead, I’ll just lay down the basics for you. It’s also compelling enough to make me wish that I could just sit here and dissect the game’s lore instead of writing a standard review. The world of Observer already had a very detailed history, and System Redux only adds to that.
Things don’t get any less dreary from here, so you might as well get used to it. Whether it’s something that could most likely never happen, something that already happened, or something that is bound to happen in the future, if it’s related to technology then System Redux not only most likely touches upon it, but does so in the most frightening way that it knows how. It takes the bits and pieces of technological anxiety that people drop through conversation, hungrily mashes them all together and grows it into a terrifying entity of its own. Observer: System Redux is a game that revels in that fear. Instead, I’ll just say that some people have certain fears regarding our rapidly evolving technological world, and at least some of it is justified. I don’t like fear-mongering, and I’m no conspiracy theorist, so I won’t waste your time elaborating too much on this. Technology is also kind of terrifying, though. I really don’t know where I would be without all of the wonderful advancements in technology that we’ve seen so far, and I genuinely look forward to the many technological advancements that I, and many others, will be able to benefit from in the future. It’s not at all a stretch to say that technology serves as the epicenter of my own life, as I’m sure it does for most of us. It educates us, entertains us, helps us maintain and establish relationships, saves lives, and so, so much more. A Cyberpunk Thriller Worth Setting Your Sights On
