The player’s decisions seem to count most in Yasna’s characterization. But regardless of what players choose to do, the result is always the same: Yasna end ups at the same place irrespective of the route taken. This pattern of back-and-forth decision-making between Yasna and Novik is a staple throughout the preview. Novik's personality balances out Yasna's with new ideas and a fresh perspective to get her out of her head. A secondary character, Novik, accompanies Yasna via radio and immediately chimes in, suggesting a new strategy for approach. This chapter of The Invincible opens up with players taking the role of a space biologist named Yasna as she narrates her next steps while searching for a missing convoy of explorers on Regis III. Much like books, The Invincible gets right into the headspace of its main character and explores the reasoning behind her motivations as the story's driving force. With the rich lore and narrative-heavy nature that comes from its adaptation, Starward Industries finds a solid foundation for what is a slower, story-based experience. Book adaptations are far and few between when it comes to gaming, with the most successful ones being The Witcher and Metro games, making The Invincible already something relatively new and exciting in the industry.

The term “walking sim” could certainly be applied to The Invincible however, the characters, scenery, and mystery behind it all make this game one to keep an eye on for fans of the genre. The Invincible is a slower-paced narrative experience with an "atompunk" twist on mid-20th century hard sci-fi. In a demo provided by Starward Industries, Game Rant got the opportunity to play through an hour-long gameplay sequence of The Invincible, and so far, it's looking good.
The Invincible, developed by Starward Industries, was proudly part of the sci-fi resurgence at this year’s Summer Game Fest and certainly turned a few heads with its visually impressive gameplay reveal trailer. Sci-fi is back and hopefully better than ever, with developers from all around creating bigger and more graphically impressive space thrillers that have been missing in gaming for the better part of a decade. At Summer Games Fest this year, a big takeaway from the event was how focused the industry is on taking players to the stars.
