Overall a great experience, but sadly the game also has some problems like graphic flickering and fps drops ... also I feel like the voices could be way louder in some parts, but I still recommend the game, especially if you liked Firewatch.

"The Invincible" is, in my opinion, the best walking simulator, at least of those I have played. The game takes place in space, on an unknown planet Regida-3, which in itself is very cool, since there are not so many games in space. In addition to the usual walking and looking at the views, which are really impressive here, the game has action scenes, sad moments and situations in which you need to make decisions as quickly as possible. The graphics in the game are simply amazing: you can see dust, blizzards, hurricanes, footprints in the sand and even breath on the helmet. The views of other planets are something else altogether. The plot in the game is also top-notch, and it can change depending on your actions. You can save all members of your crew or save no one - it all depends on your decisions. Most likely, if you play the game for the first time without hints, you will not be able to save everyone. The only thing that started to irritate me was the very long dialogue at the end of the game about whether to start an attack. I was also a little annoyed by the map, which is incomprehensible and very large. But this does not bother me, since where to go and why to go is extremely clear. The interface is good, the sounds are wonderful, and the plot is even better. In general, I recommend this game to everyone. Personally, I do not regret it, especially since the game is inexpensive.

Stanisław Lem’s Niezwyciężony (The Invincible) was first published in 1964. It is an engrossing tale of hard sci-fi that deals with the concept of “necroevolution”, and it explores a number of other ideas that were quite ahead of their time. When I heard that it was being adapted into a video game, I was over the moon. After finally playing through Starward Industries’ The Invincible , I am very happy to say that their take on Lem’s work does not disappoint. It can be difficult to adapt a novel into an interactive medium like this, they are so different after all, plus you have to strike a fine balance between appealing to fans of the original work and accessibility for newcomers. The developers took an interesting approach here by creating something of a prequel to Lem’s book. This works well, as it means you need not have read Niezwyciężony to follow the plot, but if you have then you will notice plenty of familiar events (as well as direct references, such as a few lines that have been copied verbatim from the novel). The premise remains almost the same, but the main characters are another crew entirely and the key thematic difference is the introduction of a political subplot. However, fans of Lem will be relieved to know that the focus of this game is still very much on existential musings about humanity’s place in the universe, along with the suspense of how things unfold on Regis III to keep you hooked in. The spooky soundtrack by Brunon Lubas, coupled with highly atmospheric sound design and visuals with fantastic first-person awareness, lends itself to creating a fascinating, retro, atompunk vision of space exploration that feels authentic and faithful to the author’s ideas. When looking at the gameplay, the first comparison that comes to mind is Firewatch . It is an example of a so-called “walking simulator” done right, but The Invincible is even more interactive in the ways it allows you to explore its mostly quite linear, yet beautifully crafted environments. It also features another similar design decision to Firewatch , in that much of the storytelling and exposition of this thriller occurs via long-range conversations between characters in an otherwise very isolated setting. Besides exploration, dialogue is actually the main venue for player agency here. Through conversation, you can make choices that affect the storyline and you are given opportunities to pursue optional scientific and philosophical discussions between the main cast. Those who enjoy hard sci-fi that deals with robotics, biology, geology, chemistry, and physics will love this too. At the same time, if you prefer to speed on, you can choose to follow more direct routes to your objectives and select the shorter options in dialogue, missing out on additional panels in the game’s wonderful comic book that chronicles Yasna’s findings as you play. Some gamers always argue for more content and features, which is understandable given that you are spending hard-earned money on something and so you would like it to last. In this case I feel like adding anything more to artificially lengthen The Invincible would be detracting from it. It will take you anywhere from about 6 to 11 hours for a single playthrough, depending on how much exploration you do and the options you choose. In this time you get to experience something really special, especially if you appreciate the game’s setting and source material. The lack of Polish voice acting seems bizarre at first, but this is something that Starward Industries has already commented on. They are a relatively small studio with limited resources, so they would prefer to wait until they are able to afford a cast of great actors that would do justice to Lem’s brilliance. For now, I am more than happy with the fantastic English-language performances, especially Daisy Doris May as Yasna the astrobiologist, allowing international audiences to enjoy this spectacular adaptation of an amazing novel. My main complaint is that the game sometimes freezes for a bit when loading a new area. In my experience, this was not frequent or long enough to be a major disruption, but noticeable enough to be a little frustrating. More annoying was a glitch that stopped me from being able to interact with the gameworld and forced me to load my saved game. Fortunately, this happened only twice. For me the game ran with a smooth frame rate, though I know some people who bought it just after release had a bumpier experience. Technical hiccups aside, this has quickly become one of my favourite games of the past few years.

I have seen other reviews to this game describing it as Firewatch in space, and for the most part, you would be correct. This game relies heavily on exploration, environmental narrative, and excellent voice acting that let you discover the world of Regis-III, and the events that transpired there. And it succeeds in all three. Voice acting for Dr Yasna and her supporting cast is excellent, makes you relate and empathise with them throughout. While the story is quite short (it took me around 6-7 hours on my first run, though I still missed things), it is a far cry from other action focused sci-fi stories. Following a similar narrative course to the book, The Invincible and the way it plays allow for you to think and ponder on the questions it puts forward, in a way not many other games have made me do. The world of Regis-III, and the different structures you find there are pure eye candy, and you would be excused for spending most of your playtime staring at the environments and soaking it in. The addition of a photo mode, which is accessible at any time, also means you can admire the beauty of Regis-III permanently on your desktop. The aesthetic of retro 1960's sci-fi (think Black Ops Zombies with the ray guns) is a joyful to look at, and makes you think you've jumped into the cover of a old school sci-fi novel. This game made me buy the book, which I have read, and would happily read again. Its story, world, characters, and gameplay surprised me in the best way possible, and I do wish I could play it again with fresh eyes to experience what it has to offer for the first time once more For £25 in the UK, its a decent price for a game such as this. A solid 9/10. Would highly recommend
