Observer for Xbox One review: Cyberpunk meets horror in a twisted dystopia

Observer shows the potential of intense psychological horror when technology meets the minds of the insane.

Only a few years ago survival horror was being slowly being phased out of the mainstream, but as of late, we've seen somewhat of a resurgence of the genre. A once stale class of games has been revitalized on current generation consoles, with both new and pre-established franchises emerging to critical acclaim.

However, unlike many of these recent successes on the horror scene, Bloober Team's latest release, "Observer" is a game that truly strives to tackle something new. Coming off the back of "Layers of Fear," its first horror endeavor, the studio has ventured into the realm of cyberpunk for its second entry. And while Observer clearly builds on the strengths of Bloober's previous work, the unique amalgamation of genres makes for a refreshing dive into depths of a digital dystopia.
