FINALLY I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE BETA 1:

What is the best survival game in between Rust PVP, and SCUM PVP/PVE? Well its ICARUS... ? Or...?

Well wait a second, I do have many hours on the BETA Test. So let me be totally honest. Let me review the BETA, Discord Moderators (YES THAT RIGHT!) then Ill give a review on the 1.0 release:

BETA:

There is amount of Space Survival games out there and none to this date has done it right in my opinion. ICARUS crafting stuff is both innovative fast AND takes time at the same time. This is clearly something in between the both worlds of Rust and maybe SCUM too. Its fast because it reminds you of Rust when you are crafting, but it also takes time (like SCUM) because its not that easy to for example upgrade to Stone walls either. Its really well made. This game also reminds you alot of another singleplayer survival game that is also really good, Subnautica. So in fact if Rust gets to have threesome with SCUM and Subnautica you will get Icarus..

The graphics looks very good, and up to date. (BETA) The dynamic of the weather affecting your base is really fun, and you need to take care of the base everynow and then.
The animations are not so good on the player, and small things such as the rain looks weird, sometime you find glitches like when entering the cave and stuff but dont affect the gameplay. Hopefully the spend bit more time on the animation and movement of the players.

The modular base building is really good, but its a bit pain in the ass sometimes since you tend to missclick in the wrong place. Its relativly easy to fix though once you get a hang of it. samething happend when you craft you tend to craft double up sometimes. If it was my mouse though it will problaby happend in the others games too.

The fish and wolves looks weird to me too, but the bear and deer are really well done. that goat still goes to fast and i think they should nerf the animals a bit and, let the world feel a bit more natural. Decays also happend to fast even you have talent point that prevent that.

The biggest negative side on this game is that im pretty sure people will find out it would be perfect to have some PvP in the game too. Hopefully there is a option to create servers that has PvP on. This way the game would be way more fun in the long run. The game has Multyplayer friendly mode though, but kinda the fun is to raid and kill eachother too. Thats why Rust, DayZ is very popular and surely soon SCUM too. I understand some of the community dont want that, but if you have the option to turn orff PvP in some servers it would not be a big deal anyway and ICARUS developers problaby will gain more people playing this game.

The games stability and performance might lag from time to time, but since I been playing with a couple of guys too, it seems to handle it well. Regarding a big map and perhaps like 10 people playing, or 4 squads in the same map it would a lot of fun to both cooperate and PvP against eachother.

Otherwise i cant wait to explore more and encounter more PvE too, the amount of ores to mine and thing to gather is pretty fun. I hope there will be some cool weapons to craft too other than the shotgun and longbow, since its a Space game after all. Just dont go to crazy.

DISCORD MODERATORS AND SOME OF THE FANBOYS:

Talking in general about ideas for the game, will eventually get you ban. I HAVE NEVER IN MY ENTIRED LIFE AS A GAMER SEEN SUCH A STUBBORN IDIOT LIKE THE MODERATOR ON DISCORD. If you want to to discuss something like for example PVP in a game, that kid will ban you, and yes I have seen him ban other as well in a very thin reason. But there is a overall fanboy toxic cloud over this game, that will eventuelly break the game more than it is.


NOW THE FINAL 1.0 RELEASE:

- Man the developers of this has to have a Cyberpunk Console as inspiration. The Final release, was even worse than the beta! Optimatization is so bad, it lags on a RTX 2080Ti, and try to even put the Field of View to max! You will see the worse fish Eye I ever seen. The Global Ilumitnation RTX, is not as seen in the pictures...

- Game lags more than before and looks worse than before.

- They didnt fix the weird animations.

- They didnt added an PvP option (that is really simple to do really)

- They mouse hovers on the wrong place in main menu or HUD (you basically have to click in the blinds) They fixed this on the Hotfix

- They added a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ timer! on the mission and some of the things are still getting a message coming soon! I though that was only for the BETA, but they even added on the normal way of playing...

- Missions are boring, and the game is basically a Running Simulator, where you have to go across the map and hope you dont stomp into a bear. I was building a base till level 12 on first mission also, the game didnt say that had to go to dropp capsule to end misson, but since Ifigure out, I was pretty dissapointed that the next mission I spawned the same place, but base was gone...


AND SUPER DISSAPOINTED ABOUT THE DEVS, GAME & FANBOY COMMUNITY!
