- Welcome to Inversion, a Gears of War clone inspired by Isaac Newton. In this review, I'll talk about the effects gravity has had on my life (particularly in terms of the mediocrity of the 2012 video game Inversion).

Keep those niche games coming, i look forward to your success on the platform
Hey man, found your channel by the Battlespire video being recommended in one of tehsnakerer videos, really great stuff!
Wait, did he give me a shout out? That'd be pretty cool, since he was one of my inspirations for starting this series.
@@marriedtomychair It was a recommended video on the side bar, sorry for not making clear, but I guess the algorithm picked up that you do very in-depth content like him.
It’s too bad that we don’t have these kinds of budget titles anymore. Sure, most were generic and didn’t really do anything of note. But, there were also some hidden gems. I like how some of them would add in a specific gimmick to stand out from the rest and had some degree of experimentation.
My opinion on Cover Based Shooters is if they’re done right like Gears if War then they can be super fun. A few things that are needed are environmental destruction, interacting with the environment like knocking over furniture to make cover or shooting explosive barrels, having smart enemies that will try to flank you and run in and out of cover, and have good presentation. Sadly, Gears of War has gone down the drain just like Halo has. Hopefully we actually get the rumored Marcus Fenix Collection along with mod support so people can keep the thing alive with those (modding tools for MCC is one of the best things that could happen to Halo). Apparently there’s going to be a Netflix live action Gears of War movie and it will almost certainly be awful.
Interestingly there’s actually a lot of cool lore for Gears of War. There’s this guy King Abz who has various videos talking about the setting.
Good video.
That's why I quite enjoy playing these sorts of games. Budget or copycat titles usually try their best to offer something new or interesting, and Inversion is one of those.
My feelings on cover-based shooters are mixed. There's not too many I distinctly like. Mostly Binary Domain and Vanquish. Inversion was alright too. Been ages since I've played any of the Gears games, so I can't say for certain how well they've held up.
I would honestly be surprised if there isn't an MCC equivalent for Gears soon. Bringing the franchise to PC and adding mod support would effectively print money.
I actually really liked this one, my fave 'Gears' clone from the era together with Binary Domain (if that counts). Much like TimeShift, it had enough of a unique gimmick to carry it through.
As for Saber, the wildest thing about it, to a greybeard like me at least, that it is now headed by former id Software studio head Tim Willits. And forget Halo, they're now working on something far more interesting; the remake of Painkiller - with more ex id Software folk.
I really liked Binary Domain. Definitely one of the best cover-flavored shooters out there.
I distinctly remember trying to play around with the feature that let you issue commands over your own microphone. It didn't work very well. Fun novelty, at least.
Would be great to see a review of Binary Domain from You, eventually :P
Thx
Would be fun if a game let you turn off an enemy's subatomic gravity and watch as the very atoms that make their body drift apart and disintegrate them lmao
what a game... saw a short video jerma and star made about it, and it looked really bad, although i dont find it surprising that it's not mediocre. maybe the best slogan it can have is "it could've been worse"
So that's why this game felt vaguely familiar. I remember watching that video years ago. Figured I passed by it at GameStop or something back in the day.
@@marriedtomychair did you get the "the ground is shaking" bug too, where the same line keeps repeating over and over again?
@@lucky_342 Not that I recall.
@@marriedtomychair aw, sucks. must've been patched out... or very rare
But man, the story in this one... the game's set on a spaceship.
It's like those old Might & Magic games that are kinda fantasy at first, but then you play it longer and it's actually scifi and set on a spaceship.
AMD have nothing to do in the first place. It never crashed on my PC on win11 this year.
