Well done, Warhorse: you’ve created the world’s most intricate, most realistic and overwrought medieval mutt petting simulator. That is no mean feat.

The Invincible will not reach the same cultural status as Tarkovsky’s Solaris, but it’s a worthy beginning for the medium.

This 3D remake does not make the puzzle gameplay much easier, but the navigation between levels is fluid, and the level design is often astonishing.
