May 12, 2015The turn-based stealth gameplay is empowering, but fraught and fleeting each time you dive deeper into one of the world's least architecturally sensible corporate buildings, rooms budding off rooms, some empty, some dangerous, all necessary.
-
May 20, 2015Invisible Inc. has a ton of deceivingly complex interactions hidden behind its glossy exterior, and although it lets you take your time when it comes to plotting, due to its turn-based nature, it's always reminding you that you’re running against the clock.
-
May 22, 2015Invisible, Inc. is a brilliant game. The developers crafted a novel turn-based strategy/stealth game hybrid with a lot of attention to detail, extremely addicting gameplay and an abundance of class on the technical side. If you are a fan of either turn-based or stealth games, or just a fan of good games in general, you really can't go wrong with Invisible, Inc.
-
May 23, 2015Invisible, inc. is the perfect Klei game. It has high values and a great turn based stealth gameplay.
-
Jul 22, 2015The only thing we could criticise? Put in the hours, and you’ll quickly begin to understand how the level tiles work – think Carcassonne: you know what’s drawn from the bag, and how to counter each piece. That’s the only thing that dilutes it, if it bothers you, bump up the difficulty and it’ll feel like a new game.
-
Jul 8, 2015First-class spy strategy, what is missing is just a few bits to be a perfect game: better style and narration more suitable for the replayability.
-

May 18, 2015Invisible, Inc. is a great game, and a better choice if you enjoy slow-paced experiences. It's addictive and literally endless, so if you like the concept, it's a must-have.
-
May 18, 2015Invisible Inc. flawlessly fuses the stealth-based badassery of Splinter Cell with the tactical depth and ever present potential for catastrophic failure of the XCOM series. A beautiful Cyber-Noir turn-based espionage title that will leave you both frustrated and fulfilled.
-
May 18, 2015The gameplay is incredibly deep in its strategic aspects, and the game has great replayability value. Xcom fans, here you have a great heir to the throne.
-
May 12, 2015Invisible Inc. is smart and stylish, and delectable for fans of stealth or strategy.
-
Power UnlimitedJul 24, 2015Though refreshing and well-polished Invisible Inc. is equally unforgiving and a bit bland in its presentation. [Jul 2015, p.070]
-
Games Master UKAug 5, 2015Smarter than an AI supercomputer. [Aug 2015, p.72]
-
Jul 31, 2015Klei Entertainment once again delivers a completely different experience with top quality. Its newest game manages to create a very accurate feeling in taking control of a highly skilled group of agents acting in shadows. The whole structure of the game is very addictive thanks to the unique mix of stealth and turn based mechanics.
-
CD-ActionJul 4, 2015“I’ll just take a quick look at it”, I thought. “That’s a good one”, Invisible, Inc. thought and then stole 17 hours of my weekend. [07/2015, p.58]
-
Jun 9, 2015Invisible, Inc. is a really interesting and well done turn-based isometric stealth game. The difficulty curve is managed in an exemplary way and gameplay allows you to manage the missions with great freedom of action and approaches.
-
Jun 1, 2015Fun, a little repetitive, but totally replayable, just wish the middle of the story was better.
-
May 22, 2015Invisible Inc. is an exciting turn-based stealth-game in which every choice is essential. Although the game tends to be a tad repetitive after a while, the many different difficulty settings and randomly generated levels offer enough content to entertain you for tens of awesome hours.
-
May 22, 2015If it says “Klei” you’ll get quality for sure. The Canadians serve up a challenging turn based strategy gem in a comic style spy world.
-
May 12, 2015It might not be a game for players that aren’t looking to be challenged, but Invisible, Inc. is a great stealth experience despite a couple of minor setbacks.
-
May 12, 2015A thrilling turn-based spy game. Though it fails to tap its colorful characters for story material and personality beyond their unique abilities, its randomized maps and spy equipment make sneaking past the enemy AI for maximum profit a tough and repeatable challenge.
-
Jun 10, 2015It's complex and basically a game for people with an insane love for tactics. Once you survive despite all obstacles you'll feel like the smartest tactician of them all.
-
Jun 15, 2015Great mixture of tactical turn-based strategy and Cyberpunk-Espionage. Though the story and overall presentation is lacking in details, the game offers deep and rich gameplay-mechanics. The great variety of campaign-options offers lots of individual challenges for beginners and hardcore-fans as well.
-
Jul 21, 2015Highly innovative turn-based strategy with stealth elements that gets better with more time spent playing it and discovering its secrets.
-
Game World Navigator MagazineJun 29, 2015Invisible, Inc. is a “flash fiction” of a game. It has great idea, but it’s just too small to become a timeless piece. [Issue#199, p.84]
-
Edge MagazineJun 21, 2015It's a high-stakes heist simulator with no time for malice aforethought. Stealth's just one tool in your roll bag. [July 2015, p.112]
-
Jun 8, 2015Invisible Inc. is based on strategy and long-term planning. Surviving the next turn is all that matters - the player's actions are rewarded with great satisfaction. The game suffers from a small variety of levels and mission types but it still shows that Klei Entertainment is at the top of their game among independent developers.
-
Jun 2, 2015Klei Entertainment once again delivers an interesting, original game. Invisible, Inc. is a challenging and engaging strategy in cyberpunk world full of spies and big corporations.
-
May 21, 2015Invisible Inc. is a turn based procedurally generated stealth game, with an adult cartoon graphic and a nice but barely hinted story. Fortunately, it is a successful experiment.
-
May 20, 2015The game's challenge might seem extreme at first, but it never feels cheap. It forces you to think out your strategy and carefully plan each move. Invisible Inc is a sort of paradox. You have to move carefully, but you're fighting the clock at the same time. It's immense pressure that is thrilling to play out.
-
May 19, 2015Invisible Inc. is a great turn-based tactical game set in a world dominated for spies.

-
May 14, 2015Engrossing tension between empowerment and disempowerment, greed and fear, across an eminently replayable system.
-
May 13, 2015Invisible, Inc. doesn’t always feel like it’s playing by the rules, but clever thinking and a good loadout empower you to fight from the shadows.
-
May 13, 2015The best turn-based tactics game since XCOM and a fantastic spy adventure that has an appeal that goes well beyond just strategy fans.
-
May 12, 2015It’s not perfect and it’s fairly complicated, but once it all clicks, it’s also really fun.
-
Jul 4, 2015There is just one notable flaw in Invisible, Inc., but it is so huge that it may overweigh all its merits — the campaign is incredibly short. There is also an ‘endless’ mode, but it is rather pointless. I’m sure that someone will get the kick of exploring randomly generated maps, but I feel that Klei could have done so much more with this awesome gameplay concept.
-
Jun 3, 2015It’s sublime when a plan comes together, but squirming out of a nasty mess takes a higher degree of patience and pressurized innovation.
-
Jun 8, 2015Slick, addictive, yet oddly unfulfilling, Invisible, Inc. is great for dipping into, as long as you aren't expecting deep gameplay or substantial narrative rewards.
-
May 31, 2015Like Klei Entertainment's other games, it's aesthetically crisp and ninja-smooth, but the game all but vanishes from one's mind even while playing it.
-
May 14, 2015Luckily, the gameplay sings, making for a game that's not as powerful as it could be, but undeniably accessible.
-
May 12, 2015Klei Entertainment has once again proven themselves to be at the forefront of creating endless replay value, all while wrecking backlogs near and far.
-
May 12, 2015Despite its shortcomings, Invisible, Inc. offers a nerve-wracking campaign in which decisions and consequences truly matter.
-
Sep 11, 2015Invisible Inc. is a game with a lot of hidden depth that is waiting to be explored and exploited; and while the story is severely lacking it’s still worth the $20 to checkout and run through a few times.

Dec 9, 2015One of the pleasant side effects of Invisibile, Inc.’s speed and pressure is that it’s easy to predict how long a campaign will take, how long a mission will take, and that you’ll get rewarded even if you fail. This means that, despite the pressure and difficulty, Invisible, Inc. is a surprisingly relaxing game. In the imagination, it’s big. In actuality, it’s small—now that’s a trick.
