Survival is a matter of your correct choices, taken whilst uncovering the secrets of the planet, bigger than anyone thought.

    You are a scientist onboard an interstellar scientific expedition, suddenly thrown into a life-or-death rescue mission. Landing on a planet Regis III you have to find the missing crew members using some advanced space equipment, whilst relying on your brains and instincts to survive on the planet which quickly occurs to be unwelcoming. Soon you'll discover that Regis III holds terrifying secrets which are uncovered while you're piecing together the fate of your crew. And as you delve deeper into the mystery, you realise that perhaps you are not alone, and that some places like this planet are better left untouched. But it's too late to turn back.

    The Invincible is a slow paced first person walking simulator but with a heavy emphasis on its storytelling. It may not have the excitement you’d expect, though I can’t delve into much more of the story for fear of spoilers. Having never read the novel I wasn’t sure what to expect, and the fact that the game is a prequel to the novel is exciting, and now I have plans to read the source material. If you enjoy a slow burn sci-fi story, The Invincible tells quite an interesting and compelling tale, one footstep at a time.

    The Invincible is going to split opinion; not everyone is going to love this game, although many others will. It's a story-driven adventure where narrative is the driving force so should you be looking for a thoughtful adventure in a brave new world and don't mind the slow pace brought on by the game mechanics, then The Invincible will deliver you to the stars.

    The Invincible is a beautiful, mesmerising and contemplative adventure that fans of retrofuturism and hard sci fi wont want to miss.

    The Invincible brings with it a great adventure that doesn't quite fit. Especially because the game tends to lengthen the time. All of this causes the exploration to interrupt the rhythm of the story and consequently, the player could disconnect from the game. However, the planet Regis III, Yasna and company will manage to take a place in your heart.

    The Invincible is a sci-fi experience that shifts tried and tested perspectives. However, sadly, it didn't resonate and I struggled to enjoy every moment. However, if you like an unusual game that tries something new, then this could be right up your street.

    The Invincible is a true old school science-fiction with an emphasis on science rather than some personal drama. It's a great experience with a perfect sense of style, just beware that the game part is lacking or rather almost non-existent.

    The is much more potential than what is actually achieved.
