My players just landed on an ice world, so I picked this up for some ideas. There is about 10 pages of content in this PDF. The book, on the whole, is well written, and I didn't find any obvious errors. The layout is nice, and the font choices are fine.
The rules presented are clear and make sense. My only concern was that extreme cold does more lethal than non-lethal damage, which doesn't feel right to me, but too each their own. I liked the visibility rules. The equipment section was a little sparse, and not very heroic.
The sample creatures could use some work. The Deep Cetacean, has no image, and apparently has tentacles. With only four creatures I'm not sure I would have included an aquatic creature. The last monster was interesting, but the description needs a bit more detail.
One thing really missing is any fantasy element. Starfinder is a mix of magic and technology, and no magic was mentioned, no ice spells, or environmental spells or magic items were included.
Am I happy with the purchase? At $1.95 I think it was a fine purchase, the environmental rules were good. I may use one or two of the creatures presented.
