If you rely on playing by yourself in random rooms, the experience won’t always be as positive, especially when an Engineer is using a canon instead if repairing the ship parts that are on fire. At the end of the day there is some fun to be had with this game, and there is definitely a lot of potential given how the game is still evolving even though you can play it now. I am excited to see what Muse Games adds to Guns of Icarus Online in the future with new content too.

There's no striking it out on your own here. It's a very different, very refreshing kind of co-op experience. But despite its visual beauty and impressive execution, limited gameplay and general bugginess hold everything back. This beast has room to grow. When it does, expect great things. For now, a little turbulence makes for a bumpy ride.

Alle Bewegungen sind so träge wie ein dösiges Faultier, die Scharmützel so dynamisch wie Ansprachen von Rudolf Scharping - von "Schlachten" kann kaum die Rede sein, wenn die Kanonen mit der Geschwindigkeit eines Klumpen Harz feuern, der gerade einen Baum hinab klettert. Okay, es ist nach all den Call of Dutys und Medal of Honors und Battlefields wirklich mal etwas ganz Anderes und hat durchaus seinen Reiz - gerade angesichts der guten Team-Aufteilung, in der zwar jeder seine Rolle hat, aber trotzdem auch andere Aufgaben übernehmen kann.

Concepttechnisch fantastisch, maar in de praktijk stelt de game helaas erg teleur. Bugs en lag zorgen ervoor dat Guns of Icarus Online geen hoogvlieger is geworden. Er moet simpelweg nog een hoop gebeuren voordat de game perfect speelbaar wordt. Niets wat updates niet kunnen verhelpen, echter. Dat de blauwdruk voor een geslaagde titel nu op tafel ligt, dat moge duidelijk zijn.
