There are two ways to look at this game, and both are good: 1) If you're not familiar with the book it's based on, this is a superb walking sim that dares to ask the controversial question "what if Firewatch had actually good writing?". It's a slow burn sci-fi mystery with compelling characters and a main story that may feel a bit dry and low-key at first but that steadily keeps building onto a satisfying climax. 2) If you're a fan of Lem's, and specially if you like The Invincible, you will be presented with an alternate retelling of the story that may seem a bit odd at first because of the amount of changes and deviations introduced, but that will keep you on your toes by playing along with the plot beats of the book, until you reach the climax an realize this REALLY is an adaptation of the novel, but from a new perspective. The best kind of adaptation, really: one that wants to complement and establish a dialog with the book, instead of wanting to act as a substitute. No matter which one you choose, if you like good storytelling and/or are a fan of good science fiction, you're in for a treat.

There's a lot to like about The Invincible: it's beautiful to look at, the science fiction of necroevolution is fascinating, and the voice acting is stellar. It's a compelling story and even though it's largely a walking simulator it's consistently engaging. It misses the mark in two fundamental areas that make it impossible to recommend, though: movement is excruciatingly unpleasant both walking and driving the rover, and the team clearly ran out of budget before they were able to complete the game so no matter which of the several endings you get it just... stops without any kind of actual ending. Abrupt enough that I thought it was some kind of bug, but... nope. Just stops. So, a walking simulator where walking (or driving) is painfully bad paired with a game that ran out of money 2/3rds of the way through the project so they cut the entire 3rd act = can't recommend. It's a real shame because the ingredients of an amazing experience are all here.
