Fantastic start to the new game. While still an alpha (in the truest terms) they have made so much progress in the short time they have been live.
Their system for rewarding existing players is also a huge sticking point to their success. They have been able to implement a large roster and the various game modes in a timely manner.

I'm leaving a positive review.
I love what they bring to the table, what they are redesigning, and the pace they are moving forward.

But their matchmaking isn't your friend. This season alone (S4) I have been on the receiving end of back to back one sided games then in my previous 300 hours. I don't think its cheaters as much as poor matchmaking.

This survival game, set on a beautifully crafted alien world, offers a perfect blend of challenge and discovery that kept me engaged for hours on end.

The graphics are nothing short of breathtaking. Every landscape is meticulously designed, and the attention to detail in the environments is awe-inspiring. From lush forests to treacherous mountain ranges, ICARUS brings its world to life with stunning realism.

Gameplay-wise, ICARUS is a masterclass in survival mechanics. The crafting system is both intuitive and in-depth, allowing for a wide range of tools, weapons, and shelters to be created. The survival elements are well-balanced; they are challenging enough to keep you on your toes but never feel unfair.

One of the game's biggest strengths is its co-op feature. Teaming up with friends to explore, survive, and conquer the challenges of ICARUS adds a whole new layer of fun and strategy to the game. It’s an experience that’s both rewarding and immensely enjoyable.

Moreover, the developers are continuously updating the game, adding new content and refining the gameplay. Their commitment to improving and expanding the game is evident and greatly appreciated by the gaming community.

In conclusion, ICARUS is a must-play for fans of the survival genre. With its stunning visuals, engaging gameplay, and fantastic co-op mode, it offers an immersive and thrilling adventure that’s hard to put down. Highly recommended!

The future is NOW.

Fantastic game to play with your friends. Itches that sandbox adventure genre.

Having spent countless hours delving into the rich, vibrant world of Baldur's Gate 3, I'm compelled to share my experience with this extraordinary game. Larian Studios has truly outdone themselves, crafting an RPG that not only pays homage to its predecessors but also stands as a pinnacle in its own right.

The first thing that struck me was the game's breathtaking visuals. The environments are so detailed and immersive, you can almost feel the breeze rustling through the trees of the Forgotten Realms. Each location, from the bustling streets of Baldur's Gate to the darkest dungeons, is brought to life with stunning realism.

Gameplay-wise, Baldur's Gate 3 is a delightful mix of strategy and adventure. The turn-based combat system is deeply satisfying, offering a level of tactical depth that challenges and rewards in equal measure. The way actions, spells, and environmental factors interplay during battles makes each encounter feel unique and exciting.

Character creation and development are another area where the game shines. The range of races, classes, and backgrounds available allows for a high degree of customization, enabling players to truly craft their own hero - or antihero. The companions you meet along the way are equally well-developed, each with their own compelling backstory and personality.

The story and writing are top-notch, filled with intriguing plot twists and rich lore. Quests are not just tasks to be completed but stories to be unraveled, often presenting moral dilemmas that made me ponder my decisions long after I'd made them. The voice acting is superb, bringing each character to life with an authenticity that enhances the narrative experience.

In terms of replayability, Baldur's Gate 3 offers an abundance. Different choices lead to different outcomes, encouraging multiple playthroughs. The multiplayer aspect adds another layer of fun, allowing for shared adventures with friends.

If there's any drawback, it's that the game can be quite demanding in terms of system requirements, but given the quality of the experience, it's a small price to pay.

In conclusion, Baldur's Gate 3 is a triumph of RPG gaming. It’s a game that not only meets the high expectations set by its legendary predecessors but in many ways, surpasses them. Whether you're a veteran of the series or a newcomer to the genre, this game is an absolute must-play.

I don't think the Q/A team was able to test everything or even with the delay of lunch they still haven't fixed some of its most basic issues.

Long time fan, while its not for everyone it is fantastic at what it is.

I have never played a more rage inducing game. There is very little balance and the match making feels completely random. Unless you have a stacked four man team your not going to have a good time.
