ICEY

ICEY on Switch is a great port. While I may sound like a broken record for wanting touch screen support for the UI, the real big missing feature here is video recording. Games like this that have you feeling like a badass in combat should have video recording so those special moments can be shared easily.

ICEY successfully joins 2D platforms, RPG elements and some amazing combat moments. Thanks to its humour-filled narration and to a fluid an intense combat system and marvelous visual environment, Icey manages to stand out in a very good way within the Nintendo Switch catalogue. While its lifespan could certainly be longer, the game's humorous interactions help offsetting this flaw.

Icey is a good action game, showing great visuals and and intuitive yet entertaining gameplay. However, its repetitive nature can push the player's patience to its limit.

Battling your way through screens of mechanical enemies to reach the final boss won’t take very much time at all, but exploring the compact yet detailed world around you is enjoyable. Hidden are some thought-provoking snippets of narrative that touch on the hardships of developing games, for example, and the clever delivery of its storytelling is, at times, ingenious. However, the simplistic approach to battle and a confusing and convoluted story plot could prove bothersome for some who are looking for something a little more in-depth.

Assuming that limited playtime isn’t enough to dissuade you, ICEY is a good game that balances its ambitions and its gameplay very well so it manages to stand out in an increasingly crowded eShop.

ICEY has a lot going for it; the combat is fun, the story and writing smart, plus it has some great designs and animations. It's definitely an enjoyable little addition to the libraries of Switch players, but its flaws are evident to see. If only it was a little longer, or had a bit more of a replayability factor, and if only the voice acting was better... Still, more than just a good game, and well worth checking out.

If you like meta-commentary in your video games, ICEY might be right up your alley, but I found the narration to be overdone, overlong, and overly aggressive. I appreciate ICEY’s attempt to differentiate itself but…not like this. Not like this.

Игра хорошо оптимизирована имеет интересных боссов много врагов и не имеет ошибок мне нравиться как автор сам общается с игроком тем самым ломая 3 стену 9 из 10 только потому-что игра короткая.

This review is very late but I wanted to comment on the game as I thoroughly enjoyed it. The combat is fun (can get a little frustrating at times), art design is great, and thought the story was pretty cool. Reading some reviews, I see people didn't like the narrator. I'm on the complete opposite fence. I believe the narrator was what made this game as enjoyable as it was. Finding easter eggs throughout the world and pissing him off was very enjoyable.( I have played through the game with Chinese and Japanese voices, so I can't comment on the English narrator.) Definitely a must-buy for Switch owners.

Icey is a great game to get lost in with great combat and skills you can level up. The games play time is very short compared to most games, combat is great, enemies are challenging, art design is very good. My few gripes are this the whole narrator saying things like As Icey descends down to find nothing or Icey comes up on upon a abandoned area, etc this narration takes away momentum from the game and to me slows down the game, overall it's a great sci-fi hack n slash to get lost in and preform some fun and tantalizing combos with your scythe. If your in the market for a cheap hack n slash game put icey on your must plays the game will keep egging you on to keep going knowing that the next boss is around the corner. This game isn't super polished but this game is a must play for switch owners like myself

Tedious, dull, repetitive. I was really expecting a lot more out of this. Spent quite a while telling myself "I am having, right?" But, nope, overall, the game just never really hit that 'click' moment.

This game is terrible from its poor combat design and enemies that refuse to take damage there's no clear indication of hurting any of the enemies this was one of the worst purchases I've made in a long time do not play this game it is a waste of your time
