I barely played it and I know I'm buying it on day 1. It's tight, it's demanding, it's ingenious, it made me laugh. Now I want to replay Deadbolt.

Early Access Review
Constant stream of updates makes the game rounder and rounder from one update to another. Great way to pass the time, very playable with low entrance bar. Does not require to know the lore or the OG game. A lot of content and great way not only to use the already existing world and content but also expand on it in some ways.

The great, awaited adventure in the distant cosmos got here finally.
And I am awestruck.

The game is apparently very short, but that's probably the voice of people who approached it once and went the easy way. The title offers multiple, branching scenarios with variety of endings so the replayability is high. I feel I went through the longest possible trip but I saw on how many steps I could have made a different choice and see something more. That is why I will surely play through The Invincible many more times.

The story itself is neatly fitted to the source material and it is not obvious from the get-go where and when we are. Lem's descriptions couldn't have been brought to the existance more faithfully than what Starward Ind. did with their a'la retro-futuristic-post-PRL style. The vehicles and ships, environment, tools... everything looks just like anyone could imagine while reading a book and it is all drizzled with mind-bending music. Developers obeyed to the rules set by Lem very strictly and effectively extended his vision. It was never easier to sink into the world in the game than here and now.

The only issues I found were graphical minors, but that's probably beacuse I've been waiting almost two weeks for Signature Edition to arrive and hotfixes got the game running mechanics- and performance-wise so it can only be better with more updates.
Got frustrated once or twice that I couldn't withdraw from some decisions (like moving away from the elevator interface in the ship, which made me almost skip the medi-bay, but quick alt+f4 solved the issue).

I just wish I could go to the Starward Industries office, kiss each one of the devs separately and tell them how great of a job they did in their own field when I'll be in Kraków next time. I don't know how to express my gratitude for adapting Lem masterfully.
I would love to see other books recreated with such an expertise (but as a gamedev worker I saw "the numbers", I don't understand why they are that way and I am affraid)

Now you... go buy the game... now...
enjoy it and thank me later

Got that thing on my phone yeeeeaaaars ago and bought for cheap on Steam. I actually enjoy the entirety of the game.
Gameplay is smooth
Soundtrack is clean. Ambient noise is so soothing...
Graphics are simple but thats the point here. It shows everything. And backgrounds are little masterpieces telling us the story of that little corrupted, destroyed or conquered world.
Controls are intuitious and upgraded in comparison to mobile version.
Endgame levels (the left side from default "story mode") seems to be pretty hard. You cant make mistakes there. But the game itself, outside of those pixel-perfect levels, is built with simple puzzles.
The game is great and if you are looking for a simple, comforting game for evenings, which won't take a lot to complete a single level, but will take half of your life to master and max all achievements, this is it. Thats the game for you. Buy it. Now. You poopnugget. What are you waiting for?

What can I say? The game made it that far and is still supported enought to grab attention of new players.
Graphicly so beautiful that you wouldn't believe that it's for free.
Ambient music is composed according to your enviroment and music to cinematics is so celestial and heart-moving that not even once I tried to hide tears just because of it.
Tooks hundreds of hours to master it but it's satisfying behind that curtain of endless (only on paper) grind.
I literally am afraid to start any AAA game because it may not get me as Warframe did.
Every game has bindings changed to those in Warframe.
A lot of cosmetic items for someone who values the look in MMO.
I feel realy bad I paid for premium currency only about 15$. This game is worth way way more than a lot of big titles those days.
100% would play from MR 0 to present maximum again!

Very clean and simple design. Quite demanding at the end. It requires a lot of luck while randomly smashing buttons or complicated planning when you try to play like it's meant to be played. Some of levels will seriously make your brain hurt.
But let's not forget about the reason, why people play it. Easy achievements.
Overall, the game is cheap, pretty and a lot of fun. For an hour.

Awesome looking port from mobile platform. Very demanding if you want to show yourself on leaderboard. 61 minutes to complete 100% achievements. Grind for points wasn't boring. Great price for nice game, eventhough you can have it for free on your smartphone

Continuation of The Legend. Younger brother of The Binding Of Isaac, called Rebirth, was born much more experienced, more Rogue-liked and filled with goodies.

Game contains a lot more items, flors, enemies and challenges. You can meet a few more bosses with new mechanics. Graphics is improved, everything seems to be alive, its more natural, fluent. Music sadly isn't directed straight by Intergalactic-Music-Genius Danny Baranowski, but it still holds the level.

Rebirth, as the previous part, has one of the best price/fun/in-game-time ratio. It takes like over 4 days to master everything and achieve The Real Platinum God. It has big YES even from the deepest littlest gamers in my soul
