I'm not addicted, you're addicted.

Riders of Icarus looks so far to be a fun game. The graphics and enviroment are very pretty, the creatures look amazing, and the cutscenes make you feel like you're engaged in the story.
The opening scenario really pulls you into the game, as well as teaching you early on how to use your basic abilities and how to dodge and ride mounts. Everything so far has been in English, which is nice. Most of the NPC's have unique dialogue.
I like how you can fly mounts as soon as you tame one/leave the starting zone. Leveling seems pretty quick as of right now, sitting at lvl 10 with about 4 hours of game time played.
It is still in Beta, and there's a few hiccups here and there, like the voices cancelling each other out during cutscenes, and a few controls/camera angles could be a bit smoother, but the general combat is fun and engaging, as well as making you think a bit to pull off the best combos you can do.
I hope they put more enplasis on the multiplayer aspect, so far everything I've done is soloable, with a few times where I've helped kill an elite quest boss, but for the most part it doesn't feel as 'together' as I think it could be, without having a guild to join.

Al in all I really enjoy this game so far, and the fact that it is a true Free to Play game. You don't need to spend real money on anything in this game, the currencies you get from achievemnets pay for the things you don't get from vendors.
