Looking to build on the success of 2017's Observer, studio Bloober Team hopes to bring the psychological horror experience to next-generation platforms. Boasting new graphics, improved lighting, additional content, and improvements to the overall gameplay, does it warrant enough for a remaster only a few years down the road?
Observer: System Redux Review
Set in the year 2084, Observer: System Redux offers a glimpse into a dark, dystopian cyberpunk future where a digital disease killed thousands, war ravaged the world, and seedy corporations seized power – enslaving the population through virtual reality, cybernetic implants, and augmentations.
You take on the role of Daniel Lazarski, played by the late, legendary Rutger Hauer (complete with upturned collar), as an Observer – a futuristic cop, controlled by the corporations and used as a tool of fear and oppression to control the populace. Armed with cybernetic implants, Observers are the perfect interrogation tool, using a Dream Eater device to directly infiltrate the mind of a suspect, withdrawing any and all information – regardless of the cost.
The story begins as Daniel Lazarski receives a bizarre call from his estranged son Adam. Concerned for his safety, Lazarski heads to the Class C District, where the dregs of society are forced to live. When he arrives, he learns of a murder that took place in Adam's apartment. Unsure of his son's fate, he sets out to solve a series of murders in an apartment building sealed off from the outside world – under the guise of a potential outbreak of the deadly Nanophage.
Observer: System Redux is almost entirely story-based. Unraveling the mysteries of Adam's murder takes Lazarski to strange and bizarre places, from the dirty basements of the apartment building to the subconscious of dying suspects. I won't go into specifics, as spoiling any single part is likely to have a detrimental impact on the experience. Nevertheless, it's a fantastic story that is dark and seedy in places, supported by an interesting cast and solid voice acting throughout. It will disturb you, it will frighten you, and it will entertain.
The core gameplay mechanics of Observer: System Redux put you in the shoes of a cyberpunk detective, examining crime scenes, hunting down clues, questioning witnesses, and trying to locate suspects. Much of this is a very logical and methodical experience. You discover a body in an apartment and use your cybernetic implants to look for clues. Lazarski has two main tools at his disposal – EM Vision and Bio Vision – which are used to analyze biological and technological clues, respectively.
This approach to the detective experience can often be very hit and miss in video games. Playing detective is an exciting prospect on paper, but rarely do games deliver an experience free of frustration. If you've played other games attempting something similar, you're sure to be familiar with the dreaded "final clue." You spend 20 minutes searching a room or a house for a single objective you've yet to interact with, or a poorly placed item hidden somewhere obscure. Thankfully, Observer: System Redux avoids that wall of frustration nearly entirely. There's are a couple of locations that can feel puzzling, but for the most part, it's a fluid experience that adds to the overall design, not hindering the concept.
The original release of Observer showed a lot of promise, but struggled with certain aspects of gameplay, hindering the flow of the narrative with poorly designed stealth sequences that left a sour taste with our original review. Alongside many other improvements to the overall gameplay and content, the stealth aspects have been massively improved and no longer serve as an irritating brick wall to an otherwise flowing experience.
Observer: System Redux's gameplay improvements have helped propel the game from pretty good to fantastic, but the visuals are where the benefits of the remaster really shine. It's something you really have to play to experience, but the directional lighting, audio, and cyberpunk infused visuals make for an immersive feast for the senses. It is currently the best looking game I've played on the PlayStation 5.
Observer: System Redux combines a psychological thriller narrative with psychedelic visuals, terrifying chase scenes, and next-generation graphics to provide one of the most impressive remaster packages I've played in ages.

Cosplay Wednesday – The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Paya
For all those who couldn't get enough of 2017's The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (we certainly couldn't), Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is here. As players get ready to venture back 100 years, Gamers Heroes takes a look at a spot-on cosplay of Paya.
Cosplaying since 2009 (and professionally cosplaying since 2014), TineMarieRiis turned her talents to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Paya in these shots. As one of her favorite side characters in the game, she said she can relate to her in a number of different ways (even calling her a "waifu").
According to her, the wig and the jacket were the most complicated parts of this cosplay. Thankfully, she had her sister Sophie provide guidance on her sewing efforts.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon takes the tried-and-true formula of the Yakuza series and flips the script. Does this turn-based RPG have the same heat as previous Yakuza games, or should you stick with the older titles? Check out our review and find out.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon Review
Yakuza: Like a Dragon introduces us to a new main character named Ichiban Kasuga. Similar to Kazuma Kiryu in the former Yakuza games, Ichiban is a low-ranking member of the Yakuza. Having no family of his own, the head of the Arakawa family takes Ichiban in and shows him the ropes of being a Yakuza. Still, being only a grunt, Ichiban has to make collections on New Year's Eve. You make your collections, then return for dinner with the boss.
The next day you get a call from your boss asking you to come to the office right away. You are told one of the high ranking Arakawa members has killed a rival gang member when you arrive. Someone has to take the fall, and Ichiban fits the bill perfectly. Instead of fighting this fate, Ichiban happily accepts, seeing that this is the best way to repay his boss. He goes to prison for 18 years and returns to a completely different world. You might feel a bit of déjà vu if you've played Yakuza Kiwami.
Both Ichiban and Yakuza: Like a Dragon wear their new inspiration on their sleeves. Dragon Quest is often referenced, and Ichiban wants nothing more than to be a true hero. You have a new combat system, a new class system, a new party system, and a story about a hero triumphing over "evil." As a fan of the previous Yakuza games, some of these changes are welcome, and others begin to wear on toward the end of the game.
Let's start with the most significant difference: The combat. Previous Yakuza entries have previously been very similar to a beat-em-up, but the action in Yakuza: Like a Dragon is turn-based. I enjoyed this change at first, but it begins to grow tiresome as the game goes on. Something I could previously do in roughly 15 seconds now often exceeds a minute or more. There are still some active parts of the combat, such as dodging and special attack button prompts, but even that feels dull near the end. It also felt like avoiding combat was much more difficult than in previous games. For the record, I don't hate it; I just think they could lower the encounter rate a bit.
Yakuza has had a sort of class system in previous games, but nothing quite like this. Here you select a class, and that decides your weapons and a lot of your skills. Each character has their own unique classes they have and a pool everyone can select from. The classes take from real-world professions like Bodyguard (warrior), Idol (buff/healer), or Breakdancer (damage and debuffs). There are plenty of classes to pick from, and finding the right combo can make things much easier for you down the line. One downside is that you can only change classes at a specific spot, meaning you can't change on the fly.
As for your party members, most of them play a major role. The characters are directly involved with the story and often have their own motivations for helping out. As you fight and spend time with allies, they become more friendly towards you and will give you side quests. Doing these will let you learn more about your friends' backgrounds and how they got to be where they are now. The Yakuza series has always had strong characters, and Yakuza: Like a Dragon does not disappoint.
Another thing the Yakuza series has been excellent at is side content, another area where Like a Dragon excels. Side missions will get you new allies, new equipment, and some cash, but the stories that go into them are why you are really there. Helping a screaming baby in a building only to find a 6'2″ guy in a diaper? It must be Yakuza. Assisting a crawfish in getting back to its owner so the owner can eat it? Yup, why not? The mixture of endearment and ridiculousness shines through brilliantly, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
You also have go-karting, which is like a budget Mario Kart. It is fun, but I didn't spend a ton of time with it. The big one in my eyes was the business management mini-game. You become the CEO of a company and help it work its way up to become the most famous corporation in Japan. You recruit new people, attend shareholder meetings, and manage who works where. It is one of those things you start and can accidentally slip a few hours into without realizing it. It's not as good as the Cabaret Club in Yakuza 0, but to be honest, I doubt they'll ever hit that high again.
The lockers have been replaced by safes that are scattered around the area. You have Silver and Gold ones to find, and they help you gear out your party without needing to spend money. An in-depth crafting system is also present, allowing you to create some extremely fantastic weapons. Baseball bat not cool enough? How about a 2×4 with a purple flame on it. Regular champagne not cutting it? Try the bottle that shoots out lightning. Be warned that you can get lost in all of this and quickly lose track of time. My best guess if you can get through the story in roughly 40 hours, but side content will add another 25-30 hours to that total.
I mentioned how I thought the battles were too frequent, which is never more apparent than in the "dungeons." I put that in quotations because they are often just long corridors with unskippable enemies and treasures. The most egregious part is how long they take. Picture this: You are already burning out on combat, and now you have a whole hour of it back to back. Quite frankly, it ends up not being fun after the first one. All I am saying is if Final Fantasy XIII gets crap for being one big corridor, Yakuza: Like a Dragon will take some heat for doing it in their dungeons.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon has a couple of weak spots, but it overall proves to be a fantastic reinvention of the series. Yakuza fans and RPG fans alike shouldn't hesitate to check this one out.
