Loved Frostpunk. It's the only city builder/strategy I've ever got into and completed the main campaign. While the game itself is engaging, it was the surrounding context that kept me hooked. The tension in the late game is astonishing, as the mega-storm sweeps through.
I will check out the sequel at some point for sure.
Have you played This War Of Mine by the same devs?
A you are the second person to recommend This war of mine and I haven’t played it yet. :)
I heard mixed things about frostpunk 2 but I’m sure eventually I’ll check it out too. The world and setting is so intriguing. It reminded me a lot of some of my favourite apocalyptic book series in terms of tension and wanting to know what happens next.
My only hesitation with Frostpunk 2 is that the first game was such a unique and intense experience, a sequel feels like it could only diminish that impact.
Yeah for sure. I haven’t looked into what the premise of the second one is, it does look stunning though. Knowing my backlog it might be a while until I get there so it might feel unique again 😅
I played the first one, and I’m looking forward to playing the second chapter. I finished the main story, but I remember not feeling like jumping into the other scenarios right away because I found it really intense.
It’s absolutely true what you wrote: every choice carries weight, and the game does everything it can to make you feel the gravity of your decisions. It’s a way of playing that I also found in This War of Mine, also by 11 Bit Studios.
Yeah I felt a bit drained, you really have to concentrate so much on all the aspects, but I loved the world and wanted to see and hear more. I am away for a week, and then hope to jump into another scenario or DLC when I am home :)
The soundtrack was one of my Tunesday post features back in November, (it's one of my go-to writing soundtracks) but everything I hear about the game itself makes me feel like I'm missing out by not having played it.
Oh yes it is a great soundtrack for having on in the background too. Love to hear that you came across it without playing the game. It does feel like a special game. I haven't played may city builder type games but there is something really well done about this one.

Nice, I will check out "This war of mine".

I need to sit down and play this game.
