Icarus is an absolutely gorgeous, engaging, and challenging survival crafting game. When it’s working correctly, it is a fantastic entry into the genre. When it’s not, the problems are deep and varied. Disconnects, corrupt characters, bugs, and balance problems abound. I look forward to seeing it reach its potential, but it’s hard to see it as anything other than a game that exited Early Access too soon.

Not sure why people are having issues with frame rate, I'm running a 3070 in 4k on 2 screens (one for me, one for a spectator) at 60fps 99% ofNot sure why people are having issues with frame rate, I'm running a 3070 in 4k on 2 screens (one for me, one for a spectator) at 60fps 99% of the time. The occasional stutter is slightly irritating but not enough to detract from a thoroughly great all-round game.It can be tough playing solo, certainly if you haven't discovered all the little tips and tricks yet but the deeper I get into the game, the more I want to play. Don't get me wrong, I've had moments of "surely this can't be right" and "this just isn't fu^*ing possible" but once I realized there was a better way to achieve X Objective, everything suddenly made sense and the satisfaction in doing so was worth the pain of getting there.If you want a high octane shooter, go elsewhere, otherwise I'd highly recommend this for an in-depth survival adventure.

Despite its flaws, the superior picture quality and solid basic experience still give ICARUS a lot of potential. The level-based mission design makes ICARUS significantly different from traditional survival games, but it also makes most of the player's efforts in vain. If its mission rewards are more generous, the items unlocked in the space station have a wider range of uses, and the settings of character growth system are more reasonable, then I believe that players will also have a better gaming experience than they do now.

Icarus is a hardcore survival game with an innovative concept. Despite its great potential, the story is non-existent. The game punishes playing alone and is in dire need of some polishing when it comes to enemy AI and bugs.

Icarus boldly stakes its claim amongst giants in the field and swiftly proves to be a worthy contender. Everything I saw in the lead up to the release of Icarus made it seem too good to be true, but my faith and patience was rewarded many times over when I finally got to drop planetside for the first time, and the time after that, and the time after that. Icarus is going up on my list of favourite things to come out of New Zealand, alongside pavlova and Lord of the Rings.
