The Invincible (Multi, XP'd on PC/Linux)
Based on the classic novel, you play as Yasna, a biologist, who wakes up on an alien planet not quite sure how or why she got there. After reestablishing contact with her orbiting Astrogator, she sets off to find her fellow crew on an eerily quiet and hostile feeling planet.
This is a HardcoreTM Waking Sim. Sprint nets you like a 10% speed boost, lol. However my time to credits is 9hrs, so it's not a long game, but it can be SLOW. It didn't particularly bother me as the rest of the presentation more than made up for this, but yeah, just know you'll have to be patient.
The story is great. I don't really recall much from the book as I read it decades ago, but the whole game felt pretty familiar to me so I'm guessing they've done a creditable job sticking to the novel, while retrofitting it into a game.
The acting is great. All the people you interact with feel "real", they have depth. You find plenty of lore across the areas that fills out the story, quickly giving you the ability to empathize with and care about the characters.
The SFX and music are great. The music sets excellent moods for all the beats of the story, and the recurring theme music across the game is still in my head. There's so many satisfying "clicks" and "clunks" as you manipulate 60s era looking technology, which btw is one of the best things about this game. The bright 60s colors on all the surfaces, the big analog dials and switches, the simple digital displays, it's all so cool to look at and interact with.
So, the big con. There's major Unreal jank. Lots of artifacting, clipping textures, random screen blocking bloom effects. Got stuck in the environment several times. Had one crash. This may be Linux related, shrug.
This game is great. If you know the book, If you like that retro aesthetic, IMO it's a no brainer pickup. Absolutely enjoyed my time with it. 👍 👍
