Observation is a new sci-fi thriller that has just been released on the PC via the Epic Games Store. The game is powered by the Unity Engine and below you can find some 4K screenshots from the PC version on Ultra settings.
In order to capture these 4K screenshots, we used an Intel i7 4930K (overclocked at 4.2Ghz) with 16GB of DDR3 RAM at 2133Mhz, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti, Windows 10 64-bit and the GeForce driver 430.64.
The good news here is that in 4K and on Ultra settings, our NVIDIA GeForce RTX2080Ti was able to run the game smoothly. Observation is locked by default at 60fps and our RTX2080Ti was used at around 75-80% (though there were some scenes in which our GPU was used at 90-93%). This basically means that this game will be able to run without any performance issues on a wide range of PC setups (obviously at lower resolutions).
Observation comes with a few graphics settings to tweak. PC gamers can adjust the quality of Shadows and there are options to enable/disable Soft Particles, Ambient Occlusion, Bloom, Chromatic Aberration, Depth of Field, Grain, Motion Blur and Screen Space Reflections.
Now while there is no option to adjust the quality of Textures, I do have to say that I was pleased with the work that No Code has done. The game takes place in a space station and most of the textures are of high quality. The environments, while few, are gorgeously detailed and it’s really great exploring them. On the other hand, the main female character – Emma – feels really old-gen-ish and is one of the weakest visual points of the game. Still, and for a game that has been produced by a small studio like No Code, Observation looks great.
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

I’d wait for the Fitgirl repack.
Another free game then.
it’s crazy all the free games that we have gotten PC is such a great platform!
Are you sure ? It’s Epic Game Store exclusive. Are you sure you don’t want to buy the game twice as a show of support to Epic ?
is this a walking simulator? what a waste of time, money and opportunity. low iq devs.
walking simulators are good. It’s another genre and there are people who like them. Not everyone likes shooting and massacring stuff.
they’re not games, they’re made for females and males with homoseksual tendencies who jacked off to erotic novels in their childhood.
Wow, it’s for me then!
Now I’ll have to check it!
Tnx
Is there anyone who didn’t do that? ?
yeah, chads like me.
Let’s grow this small mind of yours.
let’s do it jason.
I predict suicide in your near future.
How can anyone like to play this kind of game?
Even watch on twitch it look extremely boring
like you read some book with five pages
but you have to find a magic word before you can turn next page.
Seems you found English class boring a*s well.
I’ll grab the fitgirl repack rather than spend on the anti-consumer Epic store.
Epic, make piracy great again.
Am playing and even for me that like this kind of games more focused on puzzles, it’s a bit boring. Very beautiful, though. I hope the story can be convincing at the end.
My head hurts. Why 60 FPS lock? I mean, is it just to make fun of people with decent graphics cards and good monitors – or is there a real valid reason. If so, how come most PC games have no FPS lock?
