The Invincible

the story kept me hooked from start to finish, great game

Insufferable DEI slop dialogs from the start to finish. Rights, Apologetic tones, It's not your/my fault blah blah. Draining to listen to. And why is the astronaut who just woke up on a random ass planet with lost memory starts humming 30 seconds in? WTF Retarded writers. Fail art project. The views are nice though.

Крутая история! Как будто хорошую книжку почитал!

It's a very slow game, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Maybe because I'm playing on PC, I had trouble operating the probes remotely. That changed the outcome I think. I had to choose NOT to fight the Cloud in order to progress. Also, the end, with just the Invincible coming down and nothing further, was unsatisfactory. I hear there are other endings, but I likely won't bother playing again. Considering I got this at 90% off, I have no complaints.

[h1]Honestly, this isn't my genre at all, but this time I decided to give it a try.[/h1] The game explores some very unusual, interesting, and surprisingly deep ideas that can stay in your mind long after you finish it. The slow-paced gameplay actually works in its favor and gives you plenty of time to think about them. [i]The scale of the spaceship and the disaster that happened on this godforsaken planet is genuinely impressive. [/i] The retro-futuristic aesthetic is also beautifully executed, and the soundtrack deserves special mention. It sounds exactly the way you would expect from the setting you're exploring. While walking across this long-abandoned, half-dead planet and trying to understand what actually happened here, all kinds of thoughts keep appearing. Why does everything look the way it does? What did this place look like when it was full of life? It even made me think about whether our own planet could one day end up looking the same, maybe a billion years from now, when the Sun becomes more active, Earth's atmosphere is no longer able to support life, but the oceans still remain for a while before disappearing completely. I haven't read the original novel, but after finishing the game, I definitely want to. [h3]The optimization.[/h3] At first, it actually seemed surprisingly good. I was pleasantly surprised, especially considering this is a game made on everyone's "favorite" Unreal Engine 5. [b]Unfortunately, that first impression turned out to be misleading.[/b] The first, relatively small locations run perfectly fine, but once the game opens up into larger areas, it starts consuming a ridiculous amount of resources. I saw VRAM usage reaching almost 10 GB despite only having 8 GB available, along with 12-15 GB of system RAM. Considering how the game actually looks, that's a very serious optimization issue. It simply shouldn't happen. It's obvious that most of this memory is being used for textures, but I honestly can't say they're anything exceptional or even particularly high resolution. If anything, they look fairly average while somehow consuming an enormous amount of memory. Lowering the graphics settings or reducing the resolution doesn't really help either. Another issue is the collision detection between the main character and the environment. It could have been implemented much better. I constantly found myself getting stuck on invisible walls and small pieces of terrain.

This game is truly a treat for any space fanatic. I was looking for another space game to play and randomly stumbled across this game. I never imagined how glued I would be to this game. My first session was 6 hours long. It felt like a book I couldn't put away. The storyline, characters, and choices gave this game a round finish. More times than I could count, I was walking with my view up in the sky, watching the different planets move and shine my way. It was so magical that I, for once, felt closer to space than just an imagination in my head. The graphics are stuck with me for a good while from now on. For the price you are paying, it is an absolute steal to turn into a temporary astronaut. Thank you so much.

Очень скучное начало, очень медлено история

Absolut tiefes Story Game.

The walking simulator is pretty good; it looks great at maximum settings, though there are a few graphical glitches (shadow blockiness on versions other than DirectX 11) and rendering issues (environments that don’t load properly and where you can fall through). There are also some optimization issues, with significant frame drops during certain loading sequences. I have a bit of an issue with the fact that the game holds your hand the whole time, which makes the map useless (why bother using it when it’s impossible to get lost because of invisible walls?). The characters are well-developed, the dialogues are interesting, and the different moral choices are worth exploring. A narrative-driven game with a large number of endings, which gives real weight to the choices you make.
