    • “The story is so beautiful; I love the graphics, the little puzzles here and there, and also the music.”
    • “But if I talk about the storyline, it was not that much of an experience and it doesn't have a very nice ending that I did not enjoy.”
    • “Game story seemed rushed, poor ending; guess Nyx is night and Icarus is day... (not the true myth) Icarus and his father were trying to escape, they made wings out of wax and feathers... his father told him not to fly too close to the sun, but Icarus didn't listen, basically he fell to his death... was willing to look past that if the game had a good ending, graphics wonderful, controls good, and interesting.”

    • “Good game but I am giving it four stars because in high graphics, the sand turns black or doesn't render, making the game look really bad and making it hard to distinguish the sand (which hurts you) from the platform where you can stand on, and it sucks. Apart from that, good game.”
