| 5 + 5 | azrianni | Polaris. Polaris is something strange and beautiful, a game cleverly designed to allow 4 players to share the GM burden and craft tales of noble tragedy about knights who fight a hopeless battle to protect their Polar home from corruption. It’s a great game, but it’s not for everyone. [ Read Review ] |
| 4 + 5 | matthijs | Polaris. If you're willing to explore the role-playing medium, and take it seriously, definitely try Polaris. It's for those who like their role-playing challenging, full of potential, stimulating and new. However, it needs a campaign, and a group willing to take the time to grasp the complexity and subtleties little by little, to get maximum enjoyment. [ Read Review ] |

| 9 / 10 | Flexi | A beautiful, poetic game of a doomed civilisation. It's best played by four people, who must be willing to cooperate, compete and negotiate in a mature manner. This game really sparked my interest in indie RPG's. |
| 9 / 10 | João.Mariano | Stylistically superb mechanics based on ritual sentences with an impossibly good mood based on chivalry! Buy it! |
