Really disappointing that you dont actually get to see your crew again and fly away proper at the end, or even tell the invincible and ward them off. Cutting out on the lander was a pretty shit feeling.
Ya we been expecting they will all just get on the lander and fly back together, just leave a long range communication msg to the Invincible who is flying here, But he wan to stay here instead
I think the conflict between Commonwealth and the Allianz is far more intense than the game manage to establish to me as a Player. That is why some endings feel irritating and/or quiet meaningless and unreasonable. I dont bother to recap what the Story may want to tell me and to consider that i might missed some info, but put this importaint bit together on my own took away much of the "first play"impact imo ... anyway a nice Game thou
@@This_Gamer_123 a fish who has a organ to find and avoid its most dangerous foe being infected with it? sounds a bit far fetched unless some parts of the swarm reached bacteria or virus size.
In the book Condor crew is dead, and ship has significant damage to its skin. A big deal is made of it as skin is almost diamond hard. Thus one of those "nuke'em and die" endings is closest to canon. The first ending, with swarm communicating back by drawing face, is how book ends. Love the book, love the game. I am genuinly suprised that so many people felt endings were let down. Typical Lem's ending is about being emotionaly drained after a long and perilus voyage, driven mostly by not understaning other side (Fiasco, Solaris, The Invicible). What would your ideal ending be? A happy ending with majority of Yasna's crew alive and returing to Earth? Or avenger ending with Swarm being destroyed? Or shootout ending - Condor nukes Swarm, Swarm attacks Condor, but one last nuke explodes within Condor, and it kills Yasna but burns Swarm too? I wonder...
If I didn't care about the book, I'll take a mixture of happy and shootout endings. Yasna escapes with her crew and all the nukes on the Condor explodes as the swarm breaks into the ship.
The endings are like that for Lem, because he wants to drive home his personal point about Space. That if you don't submit to it, and subserve to its existence (so no Man over "nature") you'll get railed over.
I was sad that the nuke ending uses nukes and not the typical huge fuckoff energy beams of the ships. The fight of the Cyclops was also so much better in the book in my opinion, but still, the game made me read the book and tbh I love them both anyways. As for the endings, yeah, her surviving doesn't make sense, as everyone from the Condor was ded by the time the Invicible had arrived.
Just FYI, if you leave WITH the jar, and after the credits check the comics, the last picture will show you that bringing the jar was a bad idea. Check the comics, thank me later :)
Honestly the ending where she dies is the only real ending here. Everything else was so completely vague that it felt more like a commercial break that never returned. Oooooof. Edit: So I just read the summary of the book on Wikipedia and I think...I think the game is supposed to be a sort of prequel to the novel. This one focuses on the Condor before the Invincible actually lands, but the book is about the crew of the Invincible searching for dead crew members from the Condor, as well as "entering enemy lines" and encountering similar flora and fauna. That honestly makes the incredibly vague ending a lot more reasonable. If you wanna know what happens, read the book! I definitely have to now.
Yes, the game is a prequel to the book. In the book you follow Rohan. The book also has an unsatisfactory ending, but is definitely a great read after finishing the game. The ending of the book really leaves things up to interpretation, but throughout the last chapters it goes over things that are very similar to all the endings, meaning they all may have happened in universe. The ending that fits best is definitely the ending where Yasna dies though.
Thanks for sharing this! It must have taken some time to put together! I agree with others that the endings cut out a little too early. It would have been interesting to see some of the consequences of your actions, even if they are implied.
It is really funny to watch how anihilation in game is black skinned kind of laser, while the "ultimate" weapon of sleeper ships is not even fusion, but weak, primitive, relatively useless in space and rather short living nukes.

yasna is entire new characters, she was never in the original novel, maybe we will see her in the next invincible game if they ever going to make it. @@OG21020
@@collectorhubs I hope so since I like the character. I meant when you said the ending I got is the true ending, I'll presume it's referring to the game, not the novel because if Yasna waited for the Invincible to arrive, it followed that she would be moved to the ship if she wasn't killed. If so, she would be in the novel. The ending to seque to the novel has to be the one in which she leaves on the Dragonfly. I should read the novel, if it's available, since I'm curious how it ends. A sequel to this game couldn't possibly take place in the novel events. It has to be after, I should think.
@@collectorhubs The entire game is a beautiful application of "artistic" license. It would be so easy to pluck the plot of the book and make a game out of it. Even with Lem's overarching "man subservient to the universe" themes, it's a pretty straight forward piece of SciFi literature, far simpler than Solaris, for example or something like Yefremov's Andromeda Nebula, or Hoyle's A for Andromeda (i'd love a game about that one). IMO, people should listen to the audiobook (which has excellent reading) and then play the game. Yasna's hypothetical story is even more poignant under those circumstances. Regardless, it's a freaking good bit of gaming machination and the atompunk is "muah" chef's kiss.
isnt leaving the journal or taking it with you the same ending? yes it changes the dialog after selection but the outcome for the player is the same, so i cant even count it. the thing that would have changed with journal/no journal comes afterwards and isnt even shown in the game.. all the endings feel like "the rest is in the sequal" it feels, incomplete
the game is really all over the place. the music was great but everything else had some high peaks and low valleys. glad i played it, its not a bad game but there are better walking sim games out there. Hope Starward Industries continues making games though, theres interesting details here
I think i'm going insane, i've listened to the entire OST TWICE, and i don't think i've heard the track at 14:33 where the Invincible drops from the atmosphere, does anyone know if it is actually in the OST? The closest i can hear is Hubris but that's the track that plays during the nuclear ending... help.
I really don't understand how some endings changes; for example, I can't have the one where after nukes, the flyes come directly to kill us in the dome. I have done the different texts possibilities but I can't work it out.
From the start I felt the Solaris vibes from the game which got me hooked. then i checked the author so.. anyway i didn't understand why so many people disappointed with the ending. i think it was pretty solid, at the end we got the true "invincible" and that was the point imo.. i guess i will go further with the book
At first I thought I had a bad ending when I drugged Rohytra and waited for the Invincible ship to arrive, talked to them and suddenly Rohytra awakened and the game just out of nowhere just simply ended. Felt pretty anti climatic and like other comment here stated: a commercial break that never came back. So I hoped I just got the bad ending and other endings were going to be better... but... no... they all feel really vague and unfinished, kinda disappointing
Three endings repeated over the course of 11 iterations each of which has a small deviation from its main type * Yasna flees * Yasna dies * Yasna waits for the invincible
@@collectorhubs I understand that but the narrative doesn't work this way. There's no closure. A scene where we take the lander and join Novik on the Dragonfly would have been much more satisfying and wouldn't mess up the timeline for the book.
@@FifmutCountless sci-fi books by "soviet-adjased" authors end like that. Roadside picnic, The Doomed City, etc. No answered questions, no satisfaction, no closure. That's on purpose.
@@FifmutCan't just disregard a whole culture worth of fiction, lol. It's not hollywood or marvel or pixar. You just don't write those kind of fairytales when living in that part of the world at that time. You not understanding it doesn't mean that it sucks.
I mentioned in a comment somewhere else on this video, but I thought the same thing until I read the summary for the novel on Wikipedia. I'm pretty sure this game is supposed to be a sort of prequel to the novel itself. If so, it would make sense that they had so many..."Uh, what?" endings.
@nobody.of.importance would have still been great if they had committed to showing a different story and had one true ending that works as a true prequel. The story already differs due to the presence of the IC crew. The Commonwealth does not exist in the novel. It would have been easy to still be a true prequel if Yasna made off without the Invincible ever knowing the Firefly was there. It would even still work with one of the themes of the story: to leave no trace in a new environment.
Just finished the game, I've no idea how some of these endings are even achieved. At some point the other lander is destroyed? How? I never even had a scenario where that *could* happen.
I never seen a more perfect example of a potentially great game ruined by atrocious design decisions. For example doubling the walking speed would have made the game over 50% better instantly.
Same, but it's the sprint that really pissed me off. At times I wasn't sure if I was sprinting or not. If the sprint was 4 times as quick, I'd have zero issues with the game.
Huh.....I thought there were only 3 endings. First, being knocking out Rohytra and waiting for the Invincible. Second, again knocking him out and leaving the planet. Lastly, launching nukes and leaving without Rohytra. I am surprised to see a total of 11 endings.
during the mid point, u either choose going to landing site or to the ship, from there will turn into other ending. also whether you friendly with rohytra will resulting him either launching the nuke or not , then you have no ship to leave
The game is bad itself btw, zero tension, zero proper fight scene (idk if pointing the gun in the air and shoot randomly count), bad ending, the only thing that kept me playing until the end was Yasna characteristics and her singing
Great soundtrack, great voice acting, well made realistic characters. Cool retrofuturistic visual style. That already a lot for a nowaday games. What else you expected? I think over time this game will be remembered as underrated. Or maybe it's too serious for a nowaday casual gamers?
To be fair the game felt short and... underwhelming? It starts off great: I love the ambient and the general vibe of feeling lost in an unknown planet, with its risks and such... that, is well done. But the build up to the endings (whichever one you get) doesn't feel that great: I got the bad ending where you send off some nukes and then escape, but I decided to wait for Rohytra and died in the process only to be met with the credit screen, trying it again, going through all the dialogues, and escaping, and that was it. Coming to check on RUclips for the other endings they all feel remotely the same: I think the basic problem of this game is that it somehow feels like there's more to it but it just gives you an ending out of nowhere. Basically I felt like another "level" was coming, but it never did. It's a shame because the whole game feels nice ( it's the first of the genre I've played and I didn't get bored at all, so... that's good) but then you're met with these endings that seemed sort of rushed: there are too many and most of them are too open ended. i would've liked to see Yasna reunite with Novik or get inside the Invincible and wander off in the distant space, or have her meet her crew again, or see her make it safely back "home" only to deal with the grief of leaving Rohytra down there... you get it, all it took would've been 10 more minutes for each ending.
I think it should've revealed the mysterious cloud much later, because much of the excitement for me was the question of 'what is the source of it all' and the parts after that felt more like a pivot to bring the story to a close. I guess it kinda can be explained with the game having to somehow lead to the books storyline.
So I don’t think all the “”Endings”” happen at the end, I can’t test this for sure as I don’t intend to buy the game (I was going to get it till I saw it played and it’s just not for me, maybe if we had to solve puzzles or something but not how it came out) so what I mean is one of the branching paths you can go to a landing site to be picked up or you can drive to the Alliance base, what happens if you drive to the lander do you just leave and that’s one of the endings? Remember when we got the ending to farcry 4 at the start of the game by just waiting, not every ending has to be at the end of a game also sometimes a death can be a canon ending (I don’t think you can actually die in this one till the end?!).
If u drive to landing, the ship got destroy and when you at the end, you don't have lander to go back up space. You either wait for the invincible if you manage to convince him to stop launch the Nuke, if not he will alway launch it and you both die.
If you refering to the waiting thing like farcry. There no Line asking you to wait, and we tried like multiple combination on the dialogue hoping he will just join us to the space lander, and the Nuke the whole place or just leave. But none of the dialogue will convince him to leave, he will alway either die by Nuke or you put him in the sleep chamber
I hope they never do a game from Solaris if it's going to have endings as bad as these ones. Really sad that they crafted an interesting game but failed 11 times in delivering a proper ending.
ngl this has got to be one of the most awful villains invincible mind erasing nanobots fucking hell analogy all you want but these things arn't even good analogy for "Nature" no its a fucking invisicible nano swarm that kills everything really incitful

during the mid point, u either choose going to landing site or to the ship, from there will turn into other ending. also whether you friendly with rohytra will resulting him either launching the nuke or not , then you have no ship to leave
The ending was the worst I have ever played in any game ever...
...And then you realize it actually gets 11x worse.
The game is bad itself btw, zero tension, zero proper fight scene (idk if pointing the gun in the air and shoot randomly count), bad ending, the only thing that kept me playing until the end was Yasna characteristics and her singing
Great soundtrack, great voice acting, well made realistic characters. Cool retrofuturistic visual style. That already a lot for a nowaday games. What else you expected? I think over time this game will be remembered as underrated. Or maybe it's too serious for a nowaday casual gamers?
To be fair the game felt short and... underwhelming? It starts off great: I love the ambient and the general vibe of feeling lost in an unknown planet, with its risks and such... that, is well done.
But the build up to the endings (whichever one you get) doesn't feel that great: I got the bad ending where you send off some nukes and then escape, but I decided to wait for Rohytra and died in the process only to be met with the credit screen, trying it again, going through all the dialogues, and escaping, and that was it. Coming to check on RUclips for the other endings they all feel remotely the same: I think the basic problem of this game is that it somehow feels like there's more to it but it just gives you an ending out of nowhere.
Basically I felt like another "level" was coming, but it never did.
It's a shame because the whole game feels nice ( it's the first of the genre I've played and I didn't get bored at all, so... that's good) but then you're met with these endings that seemed sort of rushed: there are too many and most of them are too open ended. i would've liked to see Yasna reunite with Novik or get inside the Invincible and wander off in the distant space, or have her meet her crew again, or see her make it safely back "home" only to deal with the grief of leaving Rohytra down there... you get it, all it took would've been 10 more minutes for each ending.
I think it should've revealed the mysterious cloud much later, because much of the excitement for me was the question of 'what is the source of it all' and the parts after that felt more like a pivot to bring the story to a close. I guess it kinda can be explained with the game having to somehow lead to the books storyline.
Same for me. I felt kinda cheated when the Credits rolled
So I don’t think all the “”Endings”” happen at the end, I can’t test this for sure as I don’t intend to buy the game (I was going to get it till I saw it played and it’s just not for me, maybe if we had to solve puzzles or something but not how it came out) so what I mean is one of the branching paths you can go to a landing site to be picked up or you can drive to the Alliance base, what happens if you drive to the lander do you just leave and that’s one of the endings?
Remember when we got the ending to farcry 4 at the start of the game by just waiting, not every ending has to be at the end of a game also sometimes a death can be a canon ending (I don’t think you can actually die in this one till the end?!).
If u drive to landing, the ship got destroy and when you at the end, you don't have lander to go back up space. You either wait for the invincible if you manage to convince him to stop launch the Nuke, if not he will alway launch it and you both die.
If you refering to the waiting thing like farcry. There no Line asking you to wait, and we tried like multiple combination on the dialogue hoping he will just join us to the space lander, and the Nuke the whole place or just leave. But none of the dialogue will convince him to leave, he will alway either die by Nuke or you put him in the sleep chamber
👍
I hope they never do a game from Solaris if it's going to have endings as bad as these ones. Really sad that they crafted an interesting game but failed 11 times in delivering a proper ending.
not much how i thought
ngl this has got to be one of the most awful villains
invincible mind erasing nanobots fucking hell analogy all you want but these things arn't even good analogy for "Nature" no its a fucking invisicible nano swarm that kills everything really incitful
''The amount of rage and typos is strong on this one...''
you never heard of cosmic horror?
The novel this was based on was written some time in the 60s, and was one of the earliest examples of a sort of grey goo apocalypse scenario.
They aren't the villians. They just simply exist as they are.
Swarm isn't villain.
Great game. I took the pod home and left his ass on the planet. cyyyya, bye.
