Shroud Praises ICARUS

Shroud is a massive fan of survival games. He claimed that ICARUS will be one of the greatest survival games ever. “Is this game good, or is it dookie, chat? This game is far from dookie. Far! But it is a beta, so expect it to be, you know, a beta,” he said.

He enjoyed the game a lot. The streamer said that it’s one of the greatest survival games ever made. He said he knows that it will be the greatest game.

However, Shroud didn’t explain the reason for the game’s greatness. He believes that if one plays it for as little as five minutes, they’ll come to the same conclusion.

“How do you not see it from even playing just five minutes? How do you not see it?” he said. The beta is only available to people who have pre-purchased the game. ICARUS will release on November 20, 2021.
