On our recent October Games You Should Look Out For list, we gave Indivisible a spot because of its unique setting and its absolutely gorgeous art-style/animation. The game is a platform-style Action RPG exploration with its combat mechanics and world inspired by Southeast Asian mythology. Lab Zero's first stab at the RPG genre definitely has a lot going for it but does it all come together into a quality package? Here's what a few critics had to say about the final game:
GAMESPOT 7/10
"I want to love Indivisible unconditionally; it has so many great pieces, and it's a special thing to feel seen. I'm happy to have a game that's distinctly Southeast Asian, giving some earnest representation to a part of the world I belong to and one I'm even more curious about now. As a whole, it sometimes doesn't come together; it's missing weight to its narrative and the challenges necessary to flex its wonderful combat system. But it stands out as an RPG that's doing something genuinely different, and it brings joy to its clever platforming with the tune of an infectious soundtrack. For all its faults, Indivisible has its heart in the right place." Click here for the full review. IGN 8.8/10 "True to its name, Indivisible should be taken as a whole to understand what makes it a unique roleplaying game. Whether it's watching Ajna and her friends growing close or theory crafting combos through party synergy, this is a game about the importance of cohesion. Sure, the plot is a bit predictable at the beginning, and there are some irritating difficulty spikes thanks to overly long boss HP bars, but those few lows are never enough to take away from how fantastic the story and gameplay are as a whole. Amidst all its moving parts, Indivisible finds its center, and opens its third eye." Click here for the full review. DESTRUCTOID 7/10 "Indivisible is rich with character, personality and passion. But is hindered by technical problems, vacant maps, and pacing issues, which hold back its true potential. With a little tweaking, some of this could be reversed, allowing Lab Zero's delightful cast, deep combat, and dramatic storyline to shine through. The blemishes can be hard to ignore but Indivisible, like Ajna's new-found friends, still gets inside your head." Clickhere for the full review.
THE SIXAXIS 8/10
"Indivisible is far more than the sum of its parts. The full game lives up to the promise of the early prototype and is a fantastically original take on a mix of familiar genres. Aside from small issues with balancing combat in the later parts of the game and a frustrating end boss, there is very little here to criticise." Click here for the full review. GAME INFORMER 7/10 "Indivisible is full of ambitious ideas and uneven execution. When it succeeds, you see glimpses of the fantastic game it could have been – but those flashes never last long enough for the dream to take shape. What you’re left with is an experience full of noteworthy successes and confusing failures, and like the game’s title suggests, they are all too intertwined to separate."

Indivisible currently has a Metascore of 79 from 13 reviews on PS4 and 80 from 8 reviews on PC. It seems the game has a great foundation to build upon and will truly reach its potential with a sequel. Let's hope this one sells well enough to get there.
