Critic Reviews
- Without convoluted gameplay systems and a myriad of menus to get your head around, Impact Winter's streamlined approach to the genre is faultlessly welcoming and instantly engaging. It means it's perfectly at home on console, too, and considering the budget-price release, you probably ought to at least give it a try.
Kim Snaith · Apr 23, 2018 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Though it's not all negative, Impact Winter contains plenty of issues that many will consider as barriers to enjoyment. Ultimately, it's these flaws that'll stop Impact Winter from making a, well, impact.
Ashley Bates · Apr 18, 2018 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - There 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.
Brandon Marlow · Apr 17, 2018 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Impact Winter, as far as survival games go, remains quite accessible throughout. The time management mechanic sits well with the item and character management systems, which further bolsters the genuinely tense gameplay. Sadly, however, technical issues such as framerate inconsistency and the occasional freeze, ironically, pulls this game just shy of greatness.
Mark Sherwood · Apr 06, 2018 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Survival, that most impermanent of genres, seems to have found permanent residency in the last few years, yet in a crowded space, Mojo Bones has made a mark. Impact Winter is dream-like and transfixing; it’s frustrating and brittle; and there is something truly special here you can just make out through the ice. If only it was given time to thaw.
Josh Wise · Jul 25, 2017 Reviewed onRead full review - Impact Winter deftly captures the tension of being put in a survival situation and makes every compromise you need to make a tough and near-irreversible decision. Surviving in The Void is a mentally taxing experience, and once you begin to internalize the world and the well-being of your group, juggling the countless priorities can be engrossing. Unfortunately, the numerous technical issues make this experience more arduous than necessary, and mar what is otherwise an impactful survival experience.
Edmond Tran · Jun 10, 2017 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Between the narrative content, progression systems, and team management, Impact Winter is far more than a simple scavenging simulator. It still embraces the joy of exploration, but challenges players to balance a multitude of risks. Like many story driven games, replay value can feel somewhat limited by the adherence to a script and the game’s achievement system adds little to this. Despite these niggles, I adored wandering the wilds with Jacob. If you have a hankering for a survival game that has some depth to it and own a controller, then Impact Winter is a solid choice.
Ed Orr · May 26, 2017 Reviewed onRead full review - Impact Winter is a fun, engaging game which kept me occupied and made me want to delve deeper into the lives and pasts of both my companions, and the wider world outside of my church haven. However, the messy controls and endless menus within menus pulled me out of the immersive experience I was so desperate to continue.
Cassie Parkes · May 22, 2017 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Impact Winter is an interesting adventure, but there are moments when it seems to really want to remind you that it’s a game. It’s slow-paced, too, and unlike something like, say, The Flame in the Flood, you don’t often feel under a great deal of pressure or even in much danger. As a result, it’s not a game you’d call “fun”, but the atmosphere and wealth of tasks and locations make it well worth your time.
Mick Fraser · Apr 16, 2018 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Seeing Impact Winter through to the end will be a struggle in itself. It is a shame that Impact Winter is filled with both bugs and design problems as at it’s core there are the makings of a brilliant title. For now though it is one to avoid unless you are willing to deal with the problems.
