The most relaxing survival game that I have ever encountered, Arctico is equal parts Arctic exploration, gentle survival simulation, and base-building experience. Traverse its frozen wilderness on foot, by dogsled, and even by glider, gradually expanding one's small outpost while exploring the quiet, windswept, snow-covered landscape. Survival mechanics are present, but they rarely feel punishing or oppressive; instead, the game seems far more interested in creating a sense of peaceful isolation and quiet discovery than testing one's ability to endure constant hardship - and i LOVE that about this experience. Games don't need to be hard to be good. Fans of Giant Squid games such as ABZÛ, Journey, and The Pathless will likely appreciate Arctico’s simple but striking lo-fi aesthetic and its emphasis on atmosphere and nature. The sparse, stylized environments are complemented wonderfully by a gentle, unintrusive instrumental soundtrack, creating an experience that often feels more akin to wandering through a a half-remembered dream of exploration than playing a traditional survival game.

Okay. So this review is coming after 1 hour of playing normal expedition mode and nine hours of playing survival, after seeing that were basically the same mode but survival mode was more punishing and changed the mechanics just a tad. I understand I do not have a lot of time, but I think that I have some solid suggestions, complaints, and positive feedback. With that being said lets begin.... The game in its current state from everything I have experienced so far would get a 5 out of 10 from me. This game is in a genre that I really enjoy, and is very chill, otherwise it may have even gotten less than a 5 from me. It's worth playing but could be so much better with quite a few tweaks. I want to love it but just kinda like it for now. I am looking forward to playing some more and getting more insight into ways I think it could be better, but for now I will report on what I can for now. The gameplay loops is solid and the visuals, albeit a bit different, are really nice. My only complaint visually is that it is a bit unnecessarily difficult to determine if it is day or night in the game. No matter what time of day it was, I seemed to always have the snow icon in the lower lef…

this game is terrible. every model is low quality, there are no high quality graphics at all, there is no physics, there is no verity either. its hard to figure stuff out even with a tutorial.
