  • Based on a Novel and about as Slow - The Invincible Review
    store.steampowered.com/app/73...
    The game is an adventure video game played from a first-person perspective. In the game, the player assumes control of astrobiologist Yasna, who must explore the planet Regis III for her missing crewmates while facing an unknown threat. Yasna has access to several tools, such as a scanner and a handheld telescope that can be used to identify objects and aid her survival in the alien landscape.[2] The developer described the game as a "branching narrative with an emphasis on player choice".[3] Other characters include astrogator Novik, who guides Yasna throughout her journey on Regis III.[2]

    It’s so cool they stuck to the game they wanted to make instead of slapping on a bunch of not-so-great combat. This looks completely up my alley. All those Gamers going ‘boring, what a stupid game’ in comments… not the game for you obv… go play CoD again. 😂 Finally, somebody made a no-compromises beautiful weird mysterious and interesting story-based retro-sci-fi game. I’m thrilled.

    Bought and put 6 hours into this game last night, he describes it very well in the video, however I think he’s kind of harsh on it. The story and atmosphere is phenomenal in my opinion, the game is beautiful and there is always some sort of ambient music or sound to keep your mind occupied as you try to figure out significant plot points. You can make decisions that affect the overall scheme of the story like whether to sacrifice a crew member and keep an oxygen tank for yourself or leave him one and allow your astrogator to pick him up risking that you might not find another. The story that you build is laid out in comic strips that you can view from the start menu so you can refresh on the plot points in case you have to step away from the game as well and it’s very artistic I think. The game is very slow paced and relies heavily on building tension and suspense while slowly revealing major clues to what’s going on through the things you find on your travels, the gameplay is slow and it can very much seem like a walking simulator however I don’t believe the world is barren enough to consider it as such. In dayz you can walk for hours and find nothing to do, in this game you walk for a few minutes to the next destination and the whole while you’re having plot heavy conversations with the astrogator or just conversations that reveal pieces of the characters history/personality. It’s definitely not the best sci-fi game that’s come out in the last decade but it’s definitely worth a go around, you also get a bit of a discount down to $26 if you’ve already purchased frostpunk.

      ​​​@@gregoryjames3287, it just felt so..bland, especially just after playing BG3 for 2 whole months (got EA beginning of July to get my feet wet)
      Tried Starfield a bit after launch, I played one night and never touched it again - went back to Bg3, then Dos2
      (The voices only were better for characters' feeling alive and interesting than Starfield fully animated ones...)

    Whenever I see games like this I feel bad for the people whom are semi-disconnected from the internet and just buy things based on the cover at the store. You know someone out there got burned on this game 😂 Awesome review it looks intriguing, definitely need to be in the right mindset for something like this

    This is a cerebral, mysterious and haunting game which I think perfectly captures the atmosphere the author is known for. I’d recommend anyone interested to consider it more an elevated interactive novel more than a game as such - that might help a newcomer have the right expectation going in.

      7-10 hours, depends on playstyle. If you soak in the atmosphere, read the notes, etc then more. If you sprint through it then less.

    I love walking sims and I love Scifi, Story is king for my and I don't mind the slow burn. The worst thing in this game is cumbersome movement and how often I get ripped out of immersion by how non AAA this game is in some places. Those two things bring this game from 9/10 to 7 for me. I'm looking forward to this studio's next game, whatever it will be.

  • @vagabundorkchaosmagick-use2898

    7:00 The game's weakness. I disagree. The fact that a game will potentially interest only a small group of people (those who like walking simulators, science fiction, slow-burn stories) is not a weakness unless you are taking the perspective of a capitalist investor. But if you take the perspective of gaming, it's not, because there's no way to improve on those parts: how can you strenghthen the walking simulator genre, or the science fiction genre, or the slow-burn pace? It's sounds almost like saying the weakness of Silent Hill series is that it's survival horror.

    The demo had shader compilation stutter and traversal stutter, has that been fixed? That to me destroys immersion. And pop-in destroys immersion as well.

    • @MKwadratPodcast
      @MKwadratPodcast Před 7 měsíci

      Shader compilation stutter has been fixed, traversal stutter is there but it's negligible (and this is coming from someon who is sensitive to stutter). Pop-in is also not intrusive (subjective opinion, but again, I am sensitive to popup also).

    I can't believe you said it might feel overpriced for some at $29.99. A pizza at Domino's is overpriced at $25.99 people!
    That's a piece of dough made by 1 person in 15 minutes with 3 dollars worth of toppings and you consume it in 15 minutes and its joy is gone, yet nobody bats an eye at the obscene price of it.
    It took 5 years and thousands of hours and two dozen people to make a game like this. Look at the uniqueness of it. Yes, no banal combat stuff and yes walking a lot. So what? It doesn't make it any less of a game. The gamer mindset about prices needs to change. This game is worth its price to its audience.

    This game is super cool. It is based on good old sci-fi that I loved to read as a child, and it has absolutely stunning design and music, and the story is very good. And the fact that the main charachter is a woman and a biologist and she is not objectified of sexualized, and she has so gentle and intelligent personality, so I felt very comfortable to go to this journey with her. Guys who say that this game is 'boring' are absolutely wrong, maybe they simply do not understand this type of storytelling withoun splashes, shooting and constant rushing?

      This game has a sprint button. The sprint time is IMO too short but I gave feedback to the devs so fingers crossed that they will extend it.
