WHAT SOME OF THE GAMING PRESS SAID WORLDWIDE
Nintendo Insider
ICEY is a great, if short, game that you will most certainly remember once you have put it to rest. Its clever and interesting take on both the genre and gaming, in general, keeps the surprises coming long after you have finished it. 8/10 GREAT
IGN Benelux
ICEY is a special game that has much more to offer than it shows at first glance. The use of the narrator to convey the story and the way this escalates, can be called amazing, just like the excellent audiovisual presentation. Add this to a nice combat system that becomes more extensive and complex as ICEY progresses and you get a game that you do not encounter every day. 8/10 GREAT
Eurogamer – Portugal
ICEY tries to rise above its very humble origins and take over as another indie of choice on the Nintendo Switch and succeeds
Nintendo Life
ICEY does, however, succeed in providing quick, tight blasts of fun that’s sure to please fans of the genre that are looking for something a little different. 8/10 GREAT
Famitsu – Japan
“ICEY provides some incredibly stylish action”
