Very gorgeous and worth every penny <3

Хорошая игрушка с красивыми пейзажами и интригующим сюжетом.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ killer game. Graphics were a little wacky for me but otherwise its a sick game. I'm a big fan of Stanislaw LEM and scifi in general so I really liked this one

Really interesting visual novel with an engaging story and beautiful visuals. The hard sci-fi, atompunk stylized aesthetic is a great design element. Gameplay can feel restrictive at times in order to follow the story. I'd love to see a more open world return to this story world.

The Lure: What initially drew me to The Invincible was learning it was based on a novel by Stanisław Lem. Having previously only been acquainted with Solaris, I was curious to see how his hard sci-fi world would translate into a video game. The hook: it turned out to be one of the most grounded and realistic first-person space simulations I’ve ever experienced, with an analog, tactile 60's feel that makes every interaction remarkably immersive (like the Alien Resurrection DLC) Now, don't get me wrong: at its core, this is a walking simulator with a slight twist. It moves at a slow, deliberate pace, but that feels entirely fitting for a story set on an isolated alien world. The retro-futuristic visuals are so stunning that I found myself taking screenshots like a tourist, ending up with a whole collection of superb new desktop wallpapers. While your dialogue choices do branch out into different endings, the overall narrative trajectory remains mostly the same, taking me about 10 hours to wrap up. Where the game truly shines is in its writing and character design. In so many narrative games, you feel detached because characters act irrationally or make absurd decisions just to drive the drama forward. Here, the main character’s reactions are refreshingly grounded and realistic, which makes it easy to feel genuine empathy for the protagonist you embody. That human element makes the isolation hit even harder, you are lost on a world where almost no one can hear you scream, with only the Astrogator's voice over radio contact keeping you anchored. I ended up with what felt like a solid, satisfying ending, and while I haven't replayed it yet, it’s a memorable story I can easily see myself revisiting one day, much like I did with Firewatch. At the end of the day, The Invincible is an experience well worth having. Full price might be a little steep for a one-shot narrative, so waiting for a sale is a smart move, but at around £15, it's a fantastic buy that's well worth supporting the developers for.

Worth it, would buy again. Absolutely had no idea how good this game was going to be until I tried it. The videos and pictures on the steam store page does it absolutely no justice. The story is phenomenal, the setting is beautiful, and the entire package is worth your time. Nice change of pace and I wish to find another game such as this one.
