The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

You drop into a harsh, unforgiving wilderness where careful preparation and teamwork are essential to endure storms, predators, and toxic hazards.

What players say

Players are divided on Icarus. Many praise its depth and weekly updates, while just as many call it a grindy cash grab that walls off content behind an expensive pile of DLCs. The missions are described as repetitive and the crafting systems as unfinished, though the open world has improved over time.
