Technical problems aside, I had a pretty good time with Inversion. Out of all the firth person sci-fi military shooters I've played, this one wears its influence (that being Gears of War) openly the most. Staying behind cover and inching forward after each wave of enemy is cleared is essential to surviving in this game since you can get taken out in a matter of seconds from enemy fire, sometimes even when you're hiding behind pillars and barricades.

There's far too many cutscenes and reused bosses, but the gravity powers are neat. Being able to grab enemies and smash them into the ground or throw them back at each other is a lot of fun. I especially liked the gasoline bubbles, even if they are just another form of exploding barrel. I didn't find the heavy power to be very useful beyond the occasional instance of using it for puzzle solving or creating new cover to hide behind.
