Oh @Owain Taggart I freaking loved playing The Invincible that was such a great game full of atmosphere and it was enjoyable. I ended up getting the book its based on. Well worth a read.

That's great to hear. Yeah, it did have great atmosphere didn't it? I find it very similar to Firewatch in how the story is delivered. Also felt very Treklike at times, and made me wonder what a retro TOS-era Trek game like this would be like. Thanks for the reminder about the book as that is one I will want to read as well.

This also served as a reminder that the Unreal 4 Engine can look just as good as Unreal 5 at times.

Well Unreal games can look really good it's not the engine but the work that goes into the visuals and presentation. Having a good engine helps though. I love how the novel written in the 60s had the idea of nanotech with regards to the swarms but without using the word and way before it was fashionable.

Yeah, and actually in some way, that made it way more thought-provoking as it wasn't using usual language for it, and it came away feeling like a fresh spin on things.
