ICARUS

A really fun co-operative game very addictive

7.9/10 could be improved if added fast travel and improved biome of mountain and desert Awesome game for a open world survival craft. I love the mount and taming system that also has a variety of plants you can grow. Missions keep the game pretty refreshing with constant updates to improve the functions, bugs and items. The DLC's are all pretty great at increasing the further playabillty for mid to late levels with new maps, hunts, and bosses but at a slightly (in my opinion) high cost. The maps are vast, full of life with a lot of stuff to build and do, biomes are large but desert and mountain biomes can be pretty barren and underwhelming at times. I understand the realism of such biomes but it does make for poor gameplay as I just feel like its a task running through to get to my objective, which does bring me to my last gripe with Icarus, Fast travel. The maps are huge and sometimes take over 10 min to travel across with zero fast travel. If you play on open world and do a round trip, it can take 20 min just in traveling there not including the mission itself or the travel within the mission. Very confusing since there's already a perfect mechanic for it using the pods you came to the planet in and could leave in. I hope they add that in a later update. All in all I give it a solid 7.9/10
