Impact Winter is able to melt survival, management and a touch of GdR with very interesting results. It's not a perfect game, but the mix of genres is well done.

Impact Winter is also able to surprise even the most avid survival enthusiast.

In its best moments, Impact Winter delivers an existentialist experience that is pushing the stress level to the max, demands moral decisions and meets other genre representatives like Don’t Starve or This War of Mine at eye level. […] On the other side, there are many things to complain about.

Impact Winter is fun, complete and full of psychological elements, but also an exploration experience with some repetitive elements.
