Despite sitting alongside the big guns in our best survival games list, Icarus is a beautiful yet strange anomaly. While I feel constantly surrounded by news, hype, and controversy regarding the likes of Ark, Rust, or Valheim, Icarus quietly hums away in the background, despite its decently sized community. Arguably one of the best looking survival experiences on Steam, and packed with plenty of base game content and DLC expansions, it somehow drifts to the back of my mind. One thing I've always kept an eye out for, though, is Dangerous Horizons, an update that developer RocketWerkz (formed by ex-DayZ creator, Dean Hall) initially said would arrive in 2024, but has been mysteriously absent. Well, some new details about it have finally emerged, with RocketWerkz claiming it's been "hard at work preparing" for the new expansion.
