Icarus is a PvE survival game in which you will have to face many dangers to make your fortune. But that's not all, because an Open World mode is also available if you want to explore this vast universe.

Icarus is a PvE survival game in which you are immersed in a wild and very dangerous world. You embody prospectors who want to make a fortune and who must face various dangers to survive. But as you can imagine, it won’t be simple.

Named Icarus, this planet has various environments, such as forests or deserts, but also numerous creatures that will not hesitate to attack you at the first opportunity. In addition, you will need to pay attention to climatic events such as fires, which may be dangerous for your survival.

In this game, you will have to complete various missions or choose the Open World mode. You will need to find resources, but also places to shelter. And for this, every tree and every rock can be exploited, offering you numerous possibilities. Moreover, you will be able to feed yourself, as every creature can be hunted.

But to help you become stronger, three tech trees will be at your disposal, and you can choose from over 100 different talents. Finally, don't forget that you will have to complete the missions you have chosen, and that you will need to be quick and efficient.

Thus, if you're interested in this game and want to dive into a new PvE adventure, Icarus is currently available for $3.49 on Steam until January 5, 2026, according to SteamDB, which is also its lowest price ever. But before playing it, it is necessary to take into account some information. 

Indeed, if it is appreciated by 73% of players on Steam, this game seems insufficient without all its DLC. Moreover, the gameplay is also criticized because it is quite complex. Finally, some people also specify that many bugs are present, which can quickly become annoying.
