The first game had one of the most gut-wrenching stories I’ve ever seen in a city builder. It was really tough both emotionally and mechanically, but so rewarding when I finally won it.
I had to stop playing. It was a great game but good lord was it bleak.
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
I wanted to like the game so much. When i first booted it the first thing i saw is that they tried to sell me frostpunk 2. No thanks

I had never heard of this game series but it sounds like the source material some shitty mobile game ripped off.
I have like 200 hrs in 1st one great concept of human surviving a dying sun.
It sounds like a good game. I was reading the description and it made me think of this dumb mobile game I keep seeing ads for, that I’m sure is one of those that past the first hour or so you have to pay to make any progress, and I’m guessing the mobile game ripped off Frostpunk.
Oh I have a great time with it and I don’t like most city builders. Against the storm and civ are boring to me. Ixion is the closest to a “knock off” that was good.
Very possibly. I can totally see how someone sees one of those dumb city builder games but no this is a stressful fun game with different scenarios and high replayability. Totally worth 10$ on sale. Plus no pay to win, you can finish a scenario In a day.
