What we've been playing
14th of January, 2021
Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: retro-tinged glory, space horror, and cards!
If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We’ve Been Playing, here’s our archive.
Observation, PC
If there’s one word to sum up Observation, it’s disorientating. Set in a space station where things are going very, very wrong (of course), this Devolver Digital game from 2019 has you embody its prime inhabitant: the on-board AI.
That means you view everything from cameras placed around the station, switching viewing angles to try and get a hold on the space. Then you’re inside a floating sphere – both inside and outside the station – bobbing around in zero gravity, not knowing which way is up. It certainly feels authentically like you’re in space, but the accompanying motion sickness is maybe a step too far.
