Since Observation is pretty heavily story-based, I've tried to steer clear of too many spoilers, but if you're a fan of films set in space, you will feel themes and influences. Couple this with the immense soundtrack, which complements so well, the game is, at times, jaw-dropping. Plus, one of my favorite things about the game is how it stages and frames the scenes for high impact. Fisher's potential lover? One of the other crew members? In the end, you'll end up asking yourself more questions as you play, so just enjoy the cryptic ride. You could devote more time to going back and looking for more research and data because I didn't pick up everything on my first play, but I got more than was required for the plot to progress.Īt first, the suspects responsible for moving the space station and damaging the equipment seem apparent. Being a short game of around 3-5 hours (depending on how lost you get), the pacing of the plot that is overtly delivered is just right. The thrills don't last terribly long, though. The soundtrack is greedily atmospheric, sucking the air from your lungs. It gives the game a little something extra. Sometimes beautiful but almost always eerie, binaural tones will massage your brain, or assault your senses. I highly recommend using headphones if you want a delicious taste of space seppuku. The soundtrack is greedily atmospheric, sucking the air from your lungs as though you'd just popped your space helmet off.
