Inversion is a third-person shooter set in the near future and the fictional Vanguard City.
Players control the cop Davis Russel when the city is invaded by an unknown enemy called the Lutadore and his daughter Leila is kidnapped.

The game starts at the end of the story, when he is captured and about to be executed, and the preceding events are then played as separate episodes in a flashback, leading up to the final moment.
The game starts at the beginning of the invasion when Russel patrols the city and the first sightings are called in.
Much of the game is played like a classic third-person shooter with different weapons, cover-based movement, and different teams of AI-controlled allies that provide assistance but cannot be controlled directly.
The game's distinct feature is the manipulation of gravity.
The Lutadore have mastered this technology and early on the game Russel also gets access to it.
The gravlink device is worn as a backpack and allows him to manipulate gravity to his advantage.
It is used to lift obstacles, objects and opponents, and to grab objects and hurl them at the enemy.
The technology can also be used to lift opponents from their covered position.
Later in the game the gravlink becomes stronger and it can be used to pin enemies to the ground or to lift objects to construct a makeshift cover position.
The manipulation of objects is not done entirely freely, as it applies only to some items and not all of the environment can be transformed.
The same limitations apply when the entire environment's gravity is shifted.
At specific points the Lutadore alter gravity, rotating it 90 degrees.
That way Russel suddenly fights from the side of the building he was just passing by.
At other points gravity can also be reversed 180 degrees.
He also encounters zero gravity zones where he is able to float with a boost to move forward.
As many other objects also float in the air, the same cover-based tactics can be used with backflips and boosts to move between
About PlayStation 3
Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.
Gamevaro tracks Inversion for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Inversion to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2012.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Inversion has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
