Blade Runner from developer Westwood has received more than its fair share of hype in its day, an element that often serves to polarize opinions. But in this case it was actually worth it – Blade Runner, as is often the case with Westwood products, is excellent, and does justice to the movie license it’s based upon. In this case the game is great even if you’re not a particular fan of the legendary 80s movie – it can stand on its own legs.

Blade Runner is set in a dark version of Los Angeles, circa 2019. Humanity has expanded into space, but earth itself has been ravaged by a legacy of pollution and war. Central to the theme of the story are the Replicants – artificial constructs created by the genetic engineers of Tyrell Corp. Replicants are made illegal, and enforcement of this law is the domain of the police Blade Runner units, of which your character, Ray McCoy, is a part of.

The story itself starts simple but gets progressively darker and more entangled. While most adventure games consist of a linear series of obstacles which must be overcome to advance the story, Blade Runner focuses on creating situations within a continuous environment. Other characters move between different scenes on their own agendas, and while some of their movements and appearances are scripted, a surprising number of them are not. This exploration-heavy game is not a race, and while it does involve shooting, it’s not very combat-heavy.

As with any solid adventure, the artistry, story and characters reign supreme, and Blade Runner does better than most by providing an element of non-linearity through its incredibly detailed world. The choices the player makes have a serious impact on the story, which features not only a number of different endings but also a variety of twisting paths to reach those endings. Many events and choices are optional, and it is possible for the player to finish the game without meeting every character or visiting all of the game’s locations.

To take things one level further, the game randomizes which characters are actually Replicants at the start of each game, and conclusions the player has drawn in previous sessions will not necessarily be helpful in determining who to “retire” this time around. While Blade Runner isn’t the most replayable game ever, it is heads and shoulders beyond other adventure games in this respect.

The puzzles add much to the gameplay as well, and they’re well integrated. As a Blade Runner on an investigation, your goal is to collect evidence. The player is equipped with a PDA, which organizes and retains any clue or useful info. Information is as important as physical evidence, and advancing in the game is often a matter of finding the right person and asking him or her the right questions. Most of the puzzles are moderately challenging, although you will find a few really difficult ones mixed in as well.

If your a fan of adventures in need of a solid gaming experience – look no further. Westwood has done a great job creating this movie-to-game rendition, a feat that’s so often botched by lazy developers looking to make a quick buck. Not here.

The 'Blade Runner' aesthetic, created by director Ridley Scott, futurist Syd Mead and many others, has remained deeply influential for 35 years. Even during the initial shooting of the 1982 film, those working on it referred to its massive futuristic urban city as 'Ridleyville' (according to the definitive history of the film's production, a book called 'Future Noir'), and its dark, rainy, technology-infused urban planning can still be seen in countless movies, TV shows, comic books and video games.

Just before the release of the long-awaited sequel, 'Blade Runner 2049,' comes a video game that plays up its Ridleyville influences very openly. Observer, a new psychological sci-fi thriller from a team of Polish game developers, goes so far as to have 'Blade Runner' actor Rutger Hauer as the face and voice of its protagonist, police investigator Daniel Lazarski.

Lazarski is no ordinary beat cop (just as Rick Deckard wasn't). He lives and works in Krakow, Poland, in the year 2084, an employee of a police-state corporatocracy run by an all-powerful technology company. The nods to 'Blade Runner' start right away, with an opening written crawl mimicking the one at the start of the film, offering some backstory to this game's dystopian world.

Within the first few minutes, Lazarski is searching for clues on a laptop, using software that looks and feels almost exactly like Deckard's Esper machine from 'Blade Runner.' The city he eventually steps into is pure Ridleyville, dark, damp, and covered with neon signs and futuristic advertisements. But instead of fully robotic replicants, we instead get people who have replaced parts of their bodies with implants and artificial limbs. Transhumanism, rather than traditional androids.

Lazarski even finds himself walking through dramatic flocks of birds, echoing Roy Batty's white dove at the end of the film.

Aesthetics aside, the actual plot of the game owes less to 'Blade Runner' or its source novel, 1968's 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' Rather than chase down rogue robots, the police protagonist uses high-tech implants to search through suspects' unconscious minds by literally plugging a jack from his smartwatch into the backs of their heads. These psychological excursions into the mind break up the visual style and pull us periodically out of the drab tenement slums much of the game takes place in.

Observer is what gamers sometimes call a 'walking simulator.' There's little action or danger involved, and you're mostly following the next clue to another location where you may talk to a witness, read some emails or listen to an audio recording. There are occasional simple puzzles to solve, and one or two stealth sections where some mild sneaking is required.

You're really just there to take in the story and scenery, although even just following the game's predetermined path can get tricky once the dream world of the subconscious starts to bleed into the real world in all sorts of hallucinatory ways. Things take a left-turn into David Lynch territory after the first few hours, which is predictable side effect of mess around inside other people's brains.

'Blade Runner' was about characters unsure of the bodies they were in -- either replicant or human. Observer is about characters unsure about the very minds they occupy, an interesting twist on the familiar future noir concept, and a good way to whet your appetite for 'Blade Runner 2049.'
