If you have the materials required for making it you can simply press and hold the 1-Key and it will craft it again. Let’s say you have a pickaxe on 1-Key and it breaks or you drop it. This makes sure you are regularly keeping an eye on the map, especially at night.Īnd another addon that I appreciate the most was the key bindings for crafting directly your Inventory (where some known games fail at this). It also adds to the tension, and I have to be careful to not wander too far from the nearest Water supply. While the game does give you the option to carry a sponge to quench your thirst, the constant depletion of these resources added to the Survival experience.

This feature particularly stood out for me as during the fights or while exploration I had to keep an eye on these stats. Much like real life, in Icarus, you can starve to death, die because of dehydration, and run out of Oxygen. The game requires you to regularly supply your character with these 3 basic necessities.

Since this is a survival game the first thing that stood out for me the most was the in-game mechanism of maintaining your Water, Oxygen, and Food levels. This is also the best way to summarize the gameplay in the game, without any spoilers. But if you fail to complete the missions on time, then you lose all your tech and progress. When you complete the mission you get to keep the rewards. To summarize the Story spoiler-free, United Development Agency wants you to get as much information on the exotic matter as you can from the planet Icarus.
