What players say
Players praise the arctic atmosphere and the weather as a constant threat, calling it a short, linear survival game with no enemies. Most finish in 3–5 hours and say it is on the easy side once you learn the mechanics, though one reviewer died on the last mission. The ending is noted as a rewarding payoff.
