ICARUS

Only buy this game if you are prepared to scream and cry constantly for the first five hours of game time. Be prapared to spawn into the game and INSTANTLY get killed by random creatures that are waiting for you in the area where your pod touches down, before you can create even the most basic weapons. Be prepared to be swamped by wolves, bears, boars and angry birds AT THE SAME TIME by the time you have crafted your first stone axe. Be prepared for your items to have zero reliability ... you can use your stone knives twice before they break, for instance. Twice. Most of the time, you can't get through an actual fight using even a brand new one, before it breaks. This is a very, -very- bad game. By far the worst purchase I've made in the last 13 months, only surpassed in the last three or four years, by Dune: Awakening with it's flying sandworms and random insta-deaths without explanation and disappearing gear and frankly, I think the ONLY REASON why this isn't worse yet, is because I've only just gotten it, whereas I was a big enough idiot to sink 450 hours into Dune. Don't waste your money. if they GAVE this game away for free, I would not recommend it.

AMAZING!

First of all, I have to say that you have created an absolutely amazing game. I was probably among the early players who bought it years ago, and naturally, I have purchased every expansion, supporter pack, and other piece of additional content released since then. My more than 2,000 hours of playtime should speak for itself: this truly is a fantastic game. I may not be young anymore—I’m 46—but whenever I have some free time and want to relax, I still launch the game and play. I always manage to come up with another project or goal to work toward, and the best thing is that there is always something new to discover or do. There is one important issue I would like to mention. I am only bringing it up now because I think I have finally come up with a reasonable solution. The game is optimized the way it is, and as a programmer myself, I completely understand that improving performance can be an extremely difficult task. However, in some of my long-running saves—where I have essentially built my dream city—the game becomes increasingly difficult to play whenever a storm arrives. Yes, the storms are the main issue. Of course, I could lower the graphics settings, but it simply wouldn’t be me if I didn’t run everything at maximum settings. :D My PC should be more than powerful enough to run the game properly, but once there are too many buildings, objects, and construction pieces in the world, storms can almost bring the entire game to its knees. The FPS drops dramatically, and overall performance becomes terrible. By “too many,” I mean somewhere between roughly 4,000 and 12,000 placed objects and building pieces. Once I go beyond 12,000, the game becomes nearly unplayable whenever a storm hits. So, what would my proposed solution be? I would add an item to the game that can disable storms within a selected region while it is active. I honestly do not care what the device looks like, how it works, or how much electricity it consumes—I can easily generate enough power to keep it running. The important part is that, while the device is active, storms would be disabled in the chosen region. Why would this be useful? Because after a certain point, storms are no longer a gameplay challenge—they become a performance problem. The worst part is that even if I am in a completely different area, the entire game still lags whenever there is a storm in the region containing my city. That is why it would be important for players to be able to choose the specific region where storms are disabled. A device like this would allow us to build much larger settlements and continue expanding them for far longer than we currently can. It would also mean that, after investing a rather ridiculous amount of time into the game, I would no longer have to sit around waiting for that damn snow to finally stop falling. :D Thank you for every moment I have spent with this game. As I said at the beginning, despite this issue, you have created something truly special. Extra credit also goes to the team for continuously adding so much new content to the game. You can definitely count on me as a loyal customer and supporter. Keep up the amazing work!
