yossarian Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Because I can't find any reviews online, just Witcher 3 previews. On the other hand, the one I did find was excellent, and it's RockPaperShotgun, so that counts for a lot. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/05/12/invisible-inc-review/ You should buy Invisible, Inc. because, like I said, I think it’s the best turn-based strategy game to come out in years. But you should love it because it’s a creative endeavour that offers such rich moments. Just don’t let this sneaking masterpiece slip you by.

Developer jamesl Posted May 12, 2015 Developer Share Posted May 12, 2015 Don't worry! When the game launches for real they'll start coming in.

yossarian Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 I was just worried reviews weren't coming. I have full faith they will be positive when they do arrive.

yossarian Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Also, James, since you're here: thank you for making one of my favorite games ever. I've always loved stealth, turn-based tactics and procedural stuff. A successful blend of all three (with beautiful art, sound and music creating a future-noir aesthetic) feels like angels put a game on the earth just for me. Hope y'all get the acclaim and sales you deserve.

LeChuck Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 IGN posted their review 3 hours ago:http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/05/12/invisible-inc-review Very positive!

WilliamGreywind Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 So a lot of these reviews note the story part of Invisible Being lacking. I'm inclined to agree, though I am also happy to see how many reviewers praise the core game mechanics.

Developer jamesl Posted May 13, 2015 Developer Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yeah, I think we knew that was going to be the case. There's only so much game you can make as a small team, and we understood that we were giving up some story bits to get a really tight and tense core gameplay loop.

I think the story elments being repetitive is the only one I can get behind. It is difficult, but it would be a much weaker experience if it wasn't, and there are enough options to cater to anyone.

Sphingx Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Story wise, I honestly would have preferred a bit more focus on the field agents as opposed to the focus on Central and Monst3r. They're all so different and quirky, they ought to get more interaction and lines. Also, I think a lot of the story and world building was lost when they removed console events, unfortunately. This is also why I prefer Endless mode where I can make up my own Invisible Inc sitcom headcanon XD Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/53877-yo-klei-you-gave-out-review-copies-right/#findComment-637249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
