The Xbox Games Showcase just dropped a thrilling new look at Clockwork Revolution, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. inXile Entertainment’s ambitious steampunk RPG blew me away with its inventive mechanics, stunning world, and immersive characters.
The detailed trailer showed off time travel with real narrative consequences and a richly atmospheric city that feels alive. From the gritty slums of Avalon to the story’s branching choices, everything about this game screams potential.
As a fan of story-driven games, I think this could be something truly special. This isn’t just a cool idea; it feels like a game I’ve been waiting years to play.
Clockwork Revolution: A time-bending world with big ideas
What immediately grabbed me about Clockwork Revolution is its bold take on time travel, woven directly into the heart of its world and story. This isn’t just a mechanic, it’s the soul of the game.
As Morgan Vanette, I’ll be exploring Avalon, a beautiful yet fractured steampunk city shaped by manipulated history. Just the thought of traveling back to pivotal moments in time to change the present had me hooked from the start.
What’s more engaging is that every decision seems to carry real weight, and the butterfly effect on Avalon looks seriously impressive. I love that it’s not just about good or bad choices, it’s about rewriting events, changing people’s fates, and watching the world evolve because of what I’ve done.
And then there was the city of Avalon, which looks stunning, filled with personality and tension. I can’t wait to explore every alley and rooftop. Between the fascinating premise and the rich, choice-driven storytelling, Clockwork Revolution looks like a promising RPG.
If the Xbox Games Showcase’s detailed trailer is any indication, we’re in for something truly groundbreaking.
Wait a second… I’ve seen this magic before
As the trailer played, I kept thinking, I’ve felt this kind of thrill before. Avalon’s gritty, steam-powered streets and high-stakes political drama instantly gave me Dishonored vibes.
Especially the first-person perspective, creative freedom, and immersive sim energy, all feel like coming home to a world of sneaky chaos and smart design.
And then the echoes of BioShock Infinite came rushing in. The city’s verticality, the steampunk art style, the glowing propaganda signs, and the clash between personal power and systemic control, it’s all here, but with a fresh twist.
And then the ability to manipulate time, change history, and see how those changes alter the present is a fresh twist on Infinite’s parallel realities. This game doesn’t just remind me of those classics, it builds on what made them great.
It feels like someone took the best parts of both and made them bigger, bolder, and more interactive. If inXile delivers on what this trailer promises, Clockwork Revolution won’t just be good, it might become the genre-defining RPG I’ve always dreamed of.
