Artico is a decent and relaxing game, but it’s clearly a small-scale project. The graphics are pretty weak and simple, and the whole experience lasts only a couple of hours. Still, exploring the open world is actually enjoyable, and traveling across the icy landscape has its own charm. The core idea of the game is very good and has real potential. With a bigger budget and more content, this concept could turn into something much deeper and more impressive. As it is now, Artico feels modest but respectable — a nice short experience that’s worth checking out if you like exploration and indie games.

Once you get along with everything, then it makes much fun! Cute little exploring game, especially with friends! Very relaxing but it also gets pretty boring very fast. There I still give this game a 6/10! GET GOO GOO ALU

Lovely literally chill game about being a lone researcher in the Arctic. There's a huge map to explore and a lot of objects to collect and build, but all very slowly, calmly, and quietly. Trek long distances in a beautiful empty snowscape and stumble upon surreal structures with gorgeous fragments of texts left behind by lonely people, and, yes, pet your 4 dogs. Just very unique, poetic, dreamy vibes. (Also on Itch, but I think that version doesn't have the latest updates and eg fast-travel doesn't work.)

This Game is GREAT!!!!! Super cosy, you are never pressured or rushed to do anything yet playing it doesnt become boring. The visuals are comforting, just like the music and overall atmosphere the game creates. Super underrated game, perfect for switching of your mind and relaxing / also great if you want to organizse you thoughts. +Rep for the devs, would love to expirience for the first time again

So not a bad play through BUT i picked this one up on sale and it was dirty dirt cheap. FOR MY MONEY, i feel like I got great value. This game also has co-op but I'm honestly glad I didn't drag my wife into this as I don't think there's enough to do honestly. Pros: - It's peaceful - There no pressure or time limit or anything, you just play - Some building and collecting, little bit of story. Some music. Cons: - Its clunky feeling and the controls aren't too smooth, also every movement is just way too slow - Severe lack of music for a cozy game, there are times when the music stops and there's just nothing playing - Some creature comforts missing, biggest offense being the lack of access to the map. - Building is fairly low level, once again missing some basics to build satisfying / functional designs. - Upgrades aren't noticeable enough to feel like they justified the cost. Main gripe: Once I got towards the 'end' of the game, I was only missing missing a few documents with no real way to track them down. I had been labeling every POI that I came across but I was not up to revisiting every location and wandering the map looking for 4 documents.... So i chose the option to pick me up or whatever. I would still recommend this game as I played it a little bit before work during the week and enjoyed the peaceful and chill tone with no real expectation of success or victory. It was a nice mood set for my day. With more content, I feel like this game would gain a better following.
