Apr 6, 2018Impact Winter is a good survival game, flawed by some technical issues. However, if you love its genre you may want to give it a shot.
-
Apr 5, 2018The conversion of Impact Winter took advantage of a great process of polishing (applied to the PC version as well), but it did not turn the game into a masterpiece: the design flaws are still here, as well as the intricate control system and some fuzzy storytelling.
-
Apr 5, 2018An amazing survival experience, this is an items-management & strategy experience with some 80's details and a great OST and scenario designs.
-
Apr 5, 2018The title is still a good representative of a genre always attached to its usual mechanics.
-
Apr 23, 2018Impact Winter is a good game if you are searching for some survival action mixed with nice adventure and management elements. The plot isn’t good enough to win an oscar, but for this price the game is pretty decent for the proper niche.
-
Apr 11, 2018This version of Impact Winter corrects the technical flaws of the PC launch. An enjoyable survival experience, but one that forgets the emotional aspect.
-
Jun 2, 2018Team survival is tough: that’s what Impact Winter teaches the player. Which is fun. But the slow-paced action, added to the lack of dubbing and a badly shaped interface will surely discourage most players.
-
Apr 5, 2018The console version of Impact Winter is, on the whole, a more polished game than it was at the debut on PC, but its good ideas are still marred by a troublesome framerate and a good amount of small bugs and inconsistencies.
-
May 23, 2018The developers of Impact Winter have created a solid survival game with a unique art style that will appeal to a certain type of player. But whether you enjoy it will really depend on how much you enjoy the micromanagement of the games’ systems and can forgive its limited narrative and repetitive resource grind. For my money – there is better out there.

Playstation Official Magazine UKMay 21, 2018Ultimately it's a sparse game that leaves us quite cold. [June 2018, p.88]
-
Apr 15, 2018The initial setup for Impact Winter's frozen post-apocalyptic world is effectively haunting and grim. The trick does get repeated a little too often though, and the bleak situation you were previously invested in becomes too much of a chore and less about humanity struggling against nature.
-
Apr 17, 2018There is an extremely interesting world on display in Impact Winter and there are traces of greatness scattered throughout. Unfortunately, there are far too many examples of cumbersome, clumsy, and frustrating execution that end up melting away the game's frosty facade. With such a heavy emphasis on multiple playthroughs, most players would be lucky to stomach their first 30 days of survival.
