I don't get all the people wanting Frostpunk 1 again lmao. The devs pretty much said it to our faces with how they presented the game that this is NOT the same as Frostpunk 1. This is meant to be larger in scope and different in problems. People complaining about the political system missed the point that FP2 is literally ABOUT the politics. The politics are quite literally meant to be the greatest challenge in the game, and it's the politics that are meant to roadblock you. That's why the Captain's Authority lets you axe the bureaucracy and just ignore what people want. It's supposed to be the point where you stop choosing to listen and simply start commanding. That's why it's one of the proverbial lines you can cross in this game. Are you good enough at managing politics to prevent needing to go Totalitarian on your population or not? The point is not whether you can survive anymore. That was the premise of FP1. The point is whether you can not only hold everything together once people aren't quite as desperate anymore. Once human nature starts to re-emerge and people start bickering and factionalizing. You can literally see this in the blurbs for the respective games. FP1: "The City Must Survive" as opposed to FP2: "The City Must Not Fall". That change in wording is deliberate, because it's not a question of external survival anymore - it's a question of internal cohesion at a period where things are starting to get easier, but not quite easy enough that survival is guaranteed.

It's okay. Polished, good vibes. Boring gameplay. This game has nothing on FP1. Saw somewhere that the devs said about this relative flop "singleplayer is dead" It's not, you just didn't make a game that was as good as the first one.

The overall experience of the game is completely different from Frostpunk 1. And that is where opinions will change. Frostpunk 1 offered a personal and individualistic approach to the city. Every person's demise felt like a tragedy. Like a village of friends and family that you try to protect from the bitterness of frost. Frostpunk 2, takes on a new approach. Instead of trying to keep the city alive, you're tasked with keeping the city from tearing itself apart. Thousands upon thousands of people, all with their own dreams, hopes and opinions. The death, turns from tragedy into statistic. The mentality of each player is what will define their opinions and reviews over this game. I say, give this game a try with a new mindset. it is not Frostpunk 1 and it is not going to play as one. While the fundamentals are there, the focus is shifted from the glory of the generator, to the squabbling of your fellow inhabitants of the city. When venturing into the wild was once considered extremely dangerous, now it is incentive in other to expand. Frostpunk 1 taught players how to survive. Frostpunk 2 will teach them how to thrive.

I want to start by saying that review-wise this game clearly suffers from the "Sequel to great thing" curse, looking at the reviews no one really has anything bad to say about the game itself, almost all of it is (sometimes fair) complaints on how it's different from the original, so be assured that the game by itself doesn't warrant any review score below positive (in my opinion), and so it just feels painful to see it at mixed While a lot of criticisms for this game are valid, I feel like a lot of them are based on a misunderstanding A lot of people seem to have approached this game as "Another Frostpunk", but I don't thinjk that's what it's trying to be, it's a sequel, this is what happens after Frostpunk 1, the issues in the original are long since (more or less) solved and now there's new ones, and with them a gameplay that does feel very different, but isn't worse Admittedly, I do think it lost a some emotional depth, it's hard to care about individual fates when you're dealing with tens of thousands of people, but it does manage to bring out some of it here and there Gameplay wise, it is much more chaotic, you have less clear overview of how much of any given resource anything will need and the (more or less) uncontrolled population growth does just randomly raise needs, but that's necessary here because the game gives you a lot more time for a lot of things, as it takes place over the course of years rather than months, and so it needs to rush the player to manage things before population gets out of control The game feels much less "Try to build a functional city" and much more "Keep the city from falling apart", which makes sense for a sequel to the first Not too much important stuff to say about the graphics, they were beautiful and lovingly crafted in the first, they're beautiful and lovingly crafted in the second, the aesthetic is very much still present and wonderful Overall I'd say, if you want to re-experience the original Frostpunk, just go play the original Frostpunk (trust me, you'll have fun, it's a great game), but this one is a worthy sequel that really feels like a continuation of the first, rather than a repeat, which I personally liked a lot

People criticise it for being different than the first game, however the games are doing different things. The first game is apocalyptic, a crisis that you're having to survive. Meanwhile the second game can be described as post-apocalyptic. You survived the crisis, so now what? I really like this game. It's less of a colony management game, and more of a society simulator. Different interest groups clamouring to make their vision of the city come true, and you having to balance these groups so that they don't tear the city apart. I've yet to play a game that is such a good society simulator. Frostpunk 2 will have you granting one interest group an agenda in parliment to make them happy, then having you promise another interest group to fulfill one of their demands so they vote against whatever insane law the first group proposed. It will have you delay building an objectively good building until it is more politically advantageous to do so. It will have you start up a new game where you promise yourself to be a good little democrat, and then hours later do the video game equivelant to the ba'ath party purge as you declare yourself dictator and send in jackbooted thugs to break up riots. If the above appeals to you, I greatly recommend Frostpunk 2. It manages to scratch an itch that I've wanted scratched for years. It manages to be a politics sim that doesn't feel dry. It feels like it represents a real society, and not an excel sheet made by a polisci major that worships rules.
