    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 easterThis 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.… Expand

    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 momentumIcey is a great game to get lost in with great combat and skills you can level up.

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… Expand

    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.

    ICEY is an excellent action game with a great combat system. Although it doesn't last many hours, its incredible story will surprise you.

    Furiously choreographed battles embedded an interesting story questioning the relationship between developer and player. The pacing is off sometimes, though.

    This Switch port is non-offensive, but several of the coding and error window effects were definitely intended for PC. Still, ICEY is fine. If you are seeking a short, functional, and fundamentally different experience, then you will find a lot to love. If you want a traditional story, a long adventure, or lots of action-packed gameplay, then search elsewhere.
