It’s not for everyone, but Frostpunk: Console Edition is a riveting survival experience that makes the most of its console controls. It also has a great, tense soundtrack to ramp up the stakes. Fantastic designs and clear graphics makes Frostpunk look good. Most games in the genre don’t look as great as one might expect, but that certainly isn’t the case here. Surprisingly, Frostpunk has some fantastic visuals. The game has a fair set of rules, and when players learn them they will understand that its rarely bad luck that beats them. While it is difficult and harsh, Frostpunk never feels unfair. The high emotional stakes for the characters also make this more difficult to play, especially if players get emotionally invested. It’s easily one of the hardest games that I have played in the genre. It can’t be stressed enough how difficult Frostpunk is. Balancing the building and moral is a difficult but satisfying experience. A heavy amount of planning is needed as well since the weather is always in play, especially the cold. Trying to balance the society’s needs like food, water, and power can almost always be done through thoughtful play. The building mechanics are a lot like similar games, and don’t always come with a moral decision. Those who are familiar with city builders will at least feel somewhat comfortable while playing. Depending on the player, this can make or break the experience. This can be frustrating since tons of chunks of progress can be lost. The game doesn’t really utilize helpful tutorials, so players will have to figure everything out on their own.
#FROSTPUNK 2 REVIEW TRIAL#
Frostpunk is absolutely a game of trial and error, and players are expected to fail often. Outside of the campaign mode, there is also an endless mode for players who want a more roguelike approach. The game is divided into four campaign scenarios, and each are pretty lengthy at a few hours apiece. Is child labor necessary to keep everything in motion? Players will make a lot of decisions that just don’t feel good, but will be vital for survival.
It’s an incredibly grim experience, forcing players to not only build strategically, but also make hard moral decisions. It’s still a good time to jump in even without the Complete Collection though, since there is a season pass available if players want to jump in later.įor those who aren’t familiar, Frostpunk is a survival game in which players control a small civilization trying to survive in the brutal, frozen world. Fortunately, Frostpunk: Complete Collection is here and the package includes three expansions, making this one of the best opportunities to experience the riveting survival game.
#FROSTPUNK 2 REVIEW PC#
Despite this, I never got around to playing the PC release.
Frostpunk is city-builder that has piqued my interest due to the exciting premise. I play the occasional game of Tropico every now and again but that’s it. I used to be a big fan of city builders but I haven’t gotten the opportunity to enjoy too many of them lately.
