    Inversion is a version of Gears of War that makes you think "ha, more like Gears of Snore!" and then you realize you are definitely not the first person to make that joke so you don't tell it to anyone about your discovery

    that bit at the beginning where he tests out putting his shotgun in the anti gravity field is legitimately one of the most humanizing things I've ever seen a generic war shooter do for its characters

    To be fair, Inversion looks and plays really great in today's bad games standards, it would be a really good one if it doesn't just copies shit from all other games and mash it into one.
    That plot twist in the end is also really good too despite the cutscenes just cutting off and teleporting characters to places they weren't there before.

    You should try a game called -Rupture (I think is the name),- its actually called Fracture. Its a 2000s 3rd person shooter, the main gimmick is you can raise/lower the terrain. Maybe because I was a child but I recall the shooting range being like, the most fun part of the game.

    Yo Oboe, you think Inversion is a bad Gears of War knock off? Try playing Mindjack or Quantum Theory for Xbox 360 or PS3.
