The new game by the creator of DayZ was launched last weekend on Steam and quickly climbed to the list of best-selling titles. But not everything is so great.
Steam was gripped by a fever of survival again last weekend. It was launched on December 3, 2021 ICARUS, the new title of the creator of DayZ, which brings survival to an alien planet under the pressure of time-limited missions. It can be said that Icarus had a good start, but it depends on the measure taken to define success.
It is currently Icarus the best-selling game on Steam last weekend. As usual, we don’t have the exact number of copies sold, but we know the game has attracted a solid number of players. The largest number of simultaneously active Icarus players so far was 52,000.
However, players currently do not have much praise for Icarus as only 57% of the six thousand user reviews are positive. The technical condition of the game gets the most complaints. As this is not an early access title, players consider it to be Icarus unjustifiably demanding and terribly optimized game. In addition to atypically high hardware requirements (including 32 GB of RAM for enjoyable gaming), players complain that it is virtually unplayable at the lowest settings because it drastically reduces environmental visibility.
