  I picked this game up not expecting too much, since all i play is survival games so the bar would be high BUT I was pleasantly surprised! First of all, this game is actually pretty HARD. But that is what i expect from a survival game! Right when you think you learned the game and figured it out, BAM you get slapped in the nuts with night time. The deep darkness if a oceanic black out makes you rethink ALL your priorities. This is the first game I have played with a true black out night time. IF you take one step in the ocean, you could die from hypothermia. So when its literally pitch black and you run out of fire material or food, you might die before sunrise. It is too risky to go out looting for stuff at night. (gamma doesn't work lol) All the loot is RNG so you really want to make food, water and fire material your main priority to survive the first night while also progressing in the crafting tree/discovery. I did not expect much from a game selling for 2-4$, in alpha and a solo developer working on it. I figured if he poured all this time into it, I will give it a try. The last time i bought a similiar game in the same dev situations, I loved it. Overall, I will not rate this game in alpha and brand new but I will recommend this game as it WILL entertain you for hours trying to survive. If you love survival games that are actually a challenge, then this game might be a nice addition to your library. Excluding the slow reactionless fish and the lack of decor/ wonky craft/stack system. I also can see the potential in this game. so i will recommend this even in its current state, took me about 5 hour to get passed the first nights. thumbs up!

  Here it is almost a year since the last update. Soooooo...... Im guessing this one is abandoned too Will reconsider my recommendation if it actually gets any updates Thought it had tons of potential, very difficult environment to survive in. Was extremely excited to try this one out. I really enjoy tough survival games.

  SEEMS FUN BUT CANT GET PAST FIRST DAY THE BEAR KILLS ME HES RUNS RIGHT OVER MY LIT CAMPFIRE CANT GET STARTED. JUST ABOUT DONE 2.5 HOURS IN!!! and your comments about if you want auto stack makes you a lazy player really makes me regret buying this game. its not very starter friendly anyway. I wasted 3 dollars!!! You have to click everything several times to get stuff to stack manually.

  It is hard to juge this game as a whole. The price is low, the content for that money is fine, but the game is riddled with gamebreaking bugs, the dev is nowhere to be seen and publishes small updates and content-additions every 9 months or so. He is also not open for suggestions, gets very ill mannered towards his customers etc. This feels like a game in a coma. Not dead yet, but not alive either. 2,49€ is not a lot of money, but with gamebreaking bugs, a lack of communication and a general disdain from the dev towards his customers, i'm not really sure if this is a project worthy of support. The game has great potential, don't get me wrong, but the whole situation is quite uncomfortable. At the moment i would not recommend this game, especially if you are having fun and into the second day you can no longer grab stuff or open boxes to get what you need to survive. Maybe after this big bug is fixed, but with this kind of progression that could be as late as christmas 2021.

  So there is a lot of potential here but sadly the game is unplayable for several reasons. The first is there is no point to playing as the game will eventually prevent you from being able to pick anything up. This stops all gameplay as there is nothing more you can do. So it is pointless to even start. This has been mentioned to the dev many times and so far no response or fix. Nice way to treat your game. The next major problem is inventory management. There is no autostacking of items...and that is intentional !! The player starts with 10 slots and a quick access bar of 10 slots but the quick access bar isn't a hot bar where the items are stored there...they still use up inventory slots. The items once picked up have to be manually stacked which in 2021 is laughable. No dev in their right mind can possibly think this is a feature of the game. It is a punch in the gut to QoL and shows a severe lack of understanding as to what players want in a game. Next we have a polar bear (which is called a white bear for some reason) that can't be killed and it hangs around typically at choke points of travel etc making life very tedious. The player can actually get caught in a standoff with the bear where if the player is on a foundation and the bear is trying to attack (but can't reach you) there is no way to scare it off even if you have a spear. There is just this loop of the bear running around the foundation forever and the player is stuck. Since there is only one save file there is no way out to a previous point. I hope this isn't another game by a solo dev where stuff is added and nothing ever fixed. There is a potential here that I would like to see realized as the environment seems cool and the game is quite challenging. Graphics are good and ambiance is good as well. Fix these things and I will happily change my review especially if I see progress being made. But for now I can't recommend this game, even as cheap as it is.

  this is completely unplayable for me, the motion blur that i cannot turn off makes me nauseous to the point where the game is inaccessible to people who get motion sickness or vertigo easily. the giant, sluggish steps your character takes makes walking feel like you're going nowhere and with no menu to remap or even view what keys do what actions there's no clear way of understanding what the controls besides wasd are if you forgot what the tutorial says

  In these early access games it's the potential. Always the potential. And the potential here is a positive. So in survival games my issue is the dev(s) take the easy way out. The simple way of strategizing by killing you off with the eating and drinking. If you don't eat like an apparent glutton in 24hours you're a dead man. The drinking not so much an issue because we need water far more than food. You can go without food for days and even weeks but not water. This game straddles the line on food. When you do start getting regular sources of food then ok. But to run your food scale down because you don't eat in 24 hours is total nonsense. Neither is it realistic. Let's move on from this simplistic reductionism because when you start getting regular sources of food the stat becomes a nuisance. Moving on. Very poor stacking process. Look it. this should be first principles of gaming. Example: breaking up cardboard boxes. You have to individual place them in your backpack. Then you must click and individually stack then (as they go five deep). This is nonsense. Click them into your backpack then they auto-stack. Same goes for crafting. I'd suggest right clicking to stack for the crafting. Example of this is making a wall. Needs 10 cardboard pieces. You have to individually pull each of the pieces and place them in the imprecise slots in the crafting window. This is an exercise in tedium and frustration. Once I have the 10 pieces in my backpack I should be able to right click or some key combination and mouse click and voila they are placed in bulk in the crafting slot. Please move beyond this! Once you've completely walked an area why is there no mapping or compass process. When it gets dark even with a flashlight you can wander for minutes trying to find your base. Please include a mapping process. I'm sure there will be a means to get/make clothing because despite the numerous boxes which wash up on shore there is no clothing included.lol. So I'm assuming as you progress provision will be made for this. I've been able to increase the size of my backpack, have a crafting slot now open for the production of a raft and several other slots for walls, bases, etc. and yet to be discovered slots. The fire goes out WAY to fast. Please stop this. You can stack the pit with numerous precious items but the fire burns like there's no tomorrow. Leaving some of these things aside the game can be frustrating at the beginning. But once you are able to get off your initial small island and get to a larger location things start to progress. Make a spear and you can start fishing to your hearts content but be careful because walking in the frigid water will get you cold and wet - a lethal combination in the Arctic. You'll then have to gather stuff for your campfire. The fish will give plenty of food including with the washed up cardboard boxes with canned goods. Create your base and make storage boxes to store some of the valuable cache for crafting. The stats of food, drink, cold, wetness, your mental state all these will effect your durability. Save often. The game is incredibly stable as a game in development. I have yet to have a crash (knock on wood). With this review I've put in 19 hours so far and look forward to its progress - making the raft etc. but also await some of the removal of the nuisance elements like stacking. So at the of the day this game is fun, will draw you in if you stick with it and hopefully will expand further going forward.

  Game has a ton of promise, I know it's very early access, but its actually really enjoyable even it's current state. A few words for the developer, if it's going to be so difficult to get things to actually stack in your inventory, then the game needs to pause. The things that are supposed to stack should auto-stack when you pick them up, or they should be easier for the player to stack manually. A bit more in the way of a tutorial would be good. I had no idea where to find fresh water and that posed a major problem. I never did find the barrel of clean water I saw in GameEdged's video. Burn time on wooden planks is just too short. a full pallet and a half should last all night. Instead it lasted about 2 hours. I've burned many a pallet in real life, and they just don't burn that quickly! I never did survive the first night, but it was still really fun. And I plan on trying again, I'd really like to find out what those noises in the dark were! Haven't been that scared by a video game in years. All thing beings considered, even it's very early, kind of clunky state, this game is really interesting. And surprisingly difficult. I'm looking forward to keeping an eye on this one and seeing what the future holds for Arctic Anxiety.
