The Invincible is a first-person retrofuturistic thriller and a loose adaptation of The Invincible, a novel by Stanislaw Lem. It's the debut project of Starward Industries, whose ranks include developers who have previously worked on such games as Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3 and Dying Light.

Plot

The Invincible is set in an alternate world which never entered the digital age. All the highly advanced gear that appears in the game is based on analog technology.

We play as Yasna - a member of an interstellar research expedition. She starts the game alone, waking up on an alien planet, Regis III. She doesn't remember how she ended up here, but she knows for sure she didn't come alone. The remaining crew members have disappeared, however, forcing her to go find them.

TheSixthAxis: 8 / 10 by Aran Suddi

The Invincible is a novel brought to life, blending its story and stunning visuals with engaging exploration. The Invincible goes back to the roots of sci-fi, offering something both classic and new when it comes to exploring the relationship between humanity and the final frontier.

Full Review

Eurogamer: 3 / 5 by Robert Purchese

The Invincible is a spectacular adaptation of Stanisław Lem's book, but it's limited in terms of what you can do in it, and the impact on the story you have.

Full Review

Windows Central: 4.5 / 5 by Cole Martin

The landscape of Regis III is as stunning as it is haunting, and Yasna's journey in this unusual land is rife with philosophical and moral conundrums that leave you with plenty to think about even after the credits roll.
