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.

I don't know how to rate this game. I'm a huge fan of the franchise. I played FP 1 for more than 200 hours, I played this one for 50 h and I stopped after the first play-through of the story and one endless mode level. This game is not bad at all, it looks and sounds posh, but for me it lacks the "soul" of FP1. It does not reach the epicness and "despair" of part 1. I try to elaborate on why: FP1: After barely making it through the challenging scenarios I felt positively exhausted that I made it and it gave me a sense of accomplishment. When I couldn't save enough people, I played it again to do better. FP2: I played it through and I was left with a sense of "that was it?" No reason to play on, after I found out how everything works and there won't be anything new to explore, build etc., just endless micromanagement. FP1: Managing one city was fun but still challenging. FP2: I liked the idea of creating colonies, to build new cities. But hopping between your colonies feels more like work than fun, because you always have to transfer resources or colonists, FP1: I really cared for my inhabitants, probably because there were so few and they were more "visible" to me. 1 died of frost and I felt bad that I was too slow in increasing the heat. FP2: 200 people died somewhere, I didn't know where and honestly I didn't care much because of the automatic population growth and the sheer number of my population. And they are somehow an "invisible" mass. FP1: Political decisions were felt throughout the level and were always painful. FP2: At the beginning I liked the idea with the factions and the council. Later in the game it was absolutely unnecessary to continue to vote in the council when I reached all of them tolerating or liking me and no new laws were there to vote on or I simply ignored them with no repercussion. FP1: Reasearching felt more urgent. It was difficult to decide what to research next, everything felt necessary and important to have. FP2: I left out several research, some didn't feel important and it wasn't. I left out the radical ideas completely because they felt too harsh, no problem at all, no repercussions. FP1: Exploring the frostland felt tougher and resources scarcer to find as it should be in a wasteland. FP2: Send out 50 people in every direction and find loads of resources, cores and people to rescue. Rinse and repeat till all lands are explored, so you can stop playing, nothing new is coming. Also, the idea with the districts: What do I really need them for? It just restricts my idea of building the city, And what is the sense of frostbreaking the terrain? Honestly, what is it for? Where is the fun or danger in it? In the end I kinda liked FP2 but only for a short time, much shorter than FP1 unfortunately...
