Immersive Sci-Fi Mystery The Invincible Loses Steam When Plot and Instructions Grow Murky

The Invincible is a first-person sci-fi mystery game set on an alien planet, with gameplay similar to Firewatch. You play as a scientist searching for her missing crew.

Interacting with the retro-futuristic technology creates an immersive experience, but getting stuck can break the spell.

The world and plot are intriguing at first, but some character motivations later feel unconvincing.

Long speeches towards the end contain unearned theories that discordantly leap beyond what you've discovered.

It excels when you follow clear objectives, but stumbles when instructions become unclear, ejecting you from the character's headspace.
