Arctico

Not worth it — poor UI and confusing from the start Within the first few minutes, it was clear the game does a poor job of getting you started. The guidance is minimal and leaves you guessing what you're supposed to do, which makes the early experience frustrating rather than engaging. The UI doesn't help either — it feels unintuitive and gets in the way rather than supporting the gameplay. For a game that should be easing you in, it fails at the basics. Not recommended. There are better options out there for the price.

Traveling across the arctic and managing your small base is a fun change of pace from more demanding survival games. The progression is enjoyable, although some parts can feel repetitive after a while. Overall, it's a cozy game that's best enjoyed when you're in the mood to take things slowly. Had a good time with it.

It's not very good. Basic, taped together, lacking in a lot of basic quality of life, UI, or even really a sense of enjoyability. All content is sort of awkward to interact with and doesn't even really improve with friends, if anything it somehow gets worse. I hope it gets better but after 4 years I'm not really sure if it will, which is sad because I did like the concept.

Boring. The sled moves so slow, the landscape you traverse is very bland (well, it's the arctic so that's justified), and it feels like there is nothing of interest to do. Like sure, you can build and plant and fish, feed the dogs, but everything feels a bit pointless? Speaking of dogs - you can name them yourself, but they look identical - exact same fur pattern, just in slightly different shades. Worst of all however are the notes you can find scattered - the most trite, pseudo-poetic, wannabe-philosophical text morsels I ever encountered in a video game. They really feel more like a punishment than a reward for exploring.

This game is boring. The map is boring. Everything is boring.

First things first, I named my sled-dogs Svanna, Svetlana, Angrboda, and Torbin- and they are the best doggos! The most striking feature of this game is the map- it's a large nearly flat snow-covered island of tundra, not that you'll see much grass; that makes all the landmarks features easy to see at long distances. It's no mystery that the primary gameplay loop is making your way over ice floes and past deep water to reach any and every landmark you can find. These are where you find the materials and blueprints to advance in the game. The other part is building a base where you can use your gathered materials to make money and advance in technology and utilities- in this way, just like the large landmark strewn map, it's very much like Subnautica, for the better. There's not so many different materials with which to craft so many different items- it's vastly simplified, and that's to its benefit, because there are only a few select items that are best for advancing in the game relatively quickly. The rest is an indulgence for the players sense of base-building and interior decorating. An interesting bit of gameplay design is that you can place "automated" extraction machines that basically "upload" materials to your inventory, but it's not an automation game like in Factorio- no conveyor belts nor trains for example... The main goal of the game is to find the question mark on the map, gather what you need through exploring, gathering, and crafting, until you can uncover the document-based mystery of the game. In the meantime, there's so many interesting sights that the island is like a museum of ideas, artifacts, and stories related to exploring and inhabiting the Arctic. A personal goal I strived for was, as an after-game reward, making a glider, so I could tour the island at leisure and enjoy the scenery.

买了快十年了，哦，好像是超过十年了。反正是我steam早期买的几个游戏之一。当初还是看某个主打MC赛道的做视频的人知道的这个游戏，同样的，我也买了Subnautica，The Forest，Salt，以及Arctico。是的，我想有人已经猜到是谁了。 不过当时非常简谱，这个游戏给我的感觉宛若是半成品的半成品，实在无法理解这个游戏是何意味。 今年因为知道出成就了回来看看。怎么说呢，完善多了。不得不说，这种走路模拟器，漫步于雪原，真的很浪漫，很有意境。超级喜欢这种感觉。这种带着四条雪橇犬漫步于文明之外的雪原，寻找故去导师的笔记。虽然系统确实还很简单，但是简单也有简单的好，简单也有简单的美。至少玩着感觉很休闲，很浪漫，一场心灵的旅程，仿佛是自己被放逐在了这个雪原。在这里，不用理有的没的，只需要找到自己想要的。反正感觉挺不错的。在烂透的现在来说，是少有的心灵之旅的游戏。

Общая оценка: 1/10 Не рекомендую. Пустой равнинный мир с разбросанным по нему мусором. Над интерфейсом игры даже не старались работать. Словно игра в прямом смысле была сделана на коленке)
