Fantastic

Reminder: Its in Alpha.

My buddy and I just sank 10 hours into it and we're dying laughing. Its been an absolutely blast. Yes, there were some bugs but most of them result in hilarity. Looking forward to future updates and more content.

A dumpster fire. CO should be ashamed of themselves.

I bought this during the winter sale for a discount. Installed it. Started a new map. Went to edit a bridge connection and the game crashed immediately. 60 seconds in. Anyone that's played CS1 knows that the CS1 modding community came through big time to make that game playable. It doesn't appear that CO learned ANYTHING from those mods as none of those essential features are baked into CS2. In fact, the feature set is reduced and the modding experience is worse without Steam Workshop.

Its just amazing to me that a development company can regress the quality of a product so much from one version to the next.

338.7 of the best hours of my gaming life spent on this game. What a gem.

Solid start. No bugs to speak of. Game runs great. Server was easy to setup and it seems to work really well with a decent sized group of friends all on at the same time. I really love the blood system in the game, lot of thought went into that.

Only gripe is its very short right now, and needs more of everything. More crafting, more things to build, more weapons and armor, more bosses, just MORE. But I'm certain that will come. Looking forward to their updates.

So far so good. The atmosphere, music, lore is all really good. The game needs more content, I plowed through almost all of it in a week, but the content that is there is really good. It needs more crafting, more recipes, etc.

There are some bugs, not sure if anyone will see this but of note:

Doors: Sometimes door status is visually out of sync. You (or enemies) can walk right through what appears to be a closed door. Toggling the door resolves the issue.

Automation taking place off screen. Spike traps appear to work intermittently. I've built a couple of mob farms lined with spike traps and sometimes the mobs will be out of their "area" and attacking my house. If I stand in visual range the traps work 100% of the time as intended. Off screen, they don't. Conveyor belts and smelters have off screen issues too. I have a simple setup with a drill, a belt, a robotic arm, and a smelter. Sometimes I arrive and the smelter is full of unsmelted ores and, upon arrival, the smelter starts up. Other times I arrive and there is a pile of 50 ore on the belt and, upon arrival, the belts start moving it to the crane, the crane grabs them all and stuffs them in the smelter and it all starts working.

Being present, even for a long period of time, everything works as intended.

UPDATE: Hotfix fixed my issue. Thanks to the dev for correcting this issue. And thanks to the community for all the toxic comments about my PC being the issue. Very helpful stuff.

I took a 3 week hiatus from Icarus, but after seeing that there were updates I decided to hop on 2 days ago and start playing. Today I applied the week 13 patch and read the release notes, seeing that the devs asked for some morale boosting comments so I thought "I've enjoyed this game, i should leave a nice comment".

And then I played. Just so happens that my prospect is Icestorm: Expedition. After investing 3 days of playing time in the mission I discovered that it is bugged and Objective #2 doesn't spawn so the mission can't be completed. Also the "events" from collecting objective 1 and 3 (I assume polar bears spawn?) happened several minutes after triggering those events, where suddenly I'm in a cave and BOOM polar bears are rushing me from the cave mouth.

Anyway, I decide to check a couple of caves for exotics on my way back to my rocket and the game crashed 4 or 5 times with Unreal Engine errors.

So yeah... No Icarus Dev Team. I will not be leaving you a good review. Your game is broken and I wouldn't recommend anyone waste their time with it in it's current state.

Update: Its a great game. All the recent updates its received have only made it better.

AGS should be ashamed of themselves. This game is a broken pile of sadness.
