What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I really enjoyed the story, characters, atmosphere, game-world, music, and graphics.
The dystopian world of Observer is conveyed brilliantly, with constant rain outside, neon blue, pink, red, and green lighting, tiny yet decrepit apartments, and cybernetic augmentations.
Can't go wrong with Rutger Hauer on the voice-acting here either; he does a fine job here.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
