#Frostpunk 2 Beta featuring a part of sandbox mode called the Utopia Builder Preview is live now until April 22!Pre-order Deluxe Edition now at -10% and get ...
I loved the first game! It was genuinely amazing. People don’t talk about it, but it was seriously inspiring. I loved the exploration mechanic, and the general randomness they injected in.
I thought mechanically it was great, but the impending storm you face a set number of days in, that’s extremely hard to survive unless you min/max your time kinda kills it for me. The thing about city builder players is we often want to plot our own paths through a game, and have multiple ways to go about succeeding. FrostPunk is interesting in that it’s an incredibly linear experience which is probably why it’s not more popular.
If FrontPunk 2 kept the bleak setting and challenging survival, but didn’t have a predictable “You’re playing the game wrong” gate so early on, I think I’d like it much better.
I played one game, got my dick kicked in, and never picked up it again. I should probably try it again with a reduced difficulty. I have been playing Against the Storm, which scratches a similar itch tho
