What players say
I bought Frostpunk 2 at launch and was initially so turned off by the change in scale & all the other differences compared to Frostpunk 1 that I stoppled playing after an hour. Coming back a year later, ready to meet this game on its terms, and I find that it's actually not that different to Frostpunk 1 at all. Scaled up and more focused on the macro, sure. But the setting is still captivating, the difficulty is...
I was hoping this game would be similar to the first one but with some new mechanics added. The first one was really addictive
Compared to Frostpunk 1 ? this game is bad and not fun at all . You took what make your unique gameplay turn into poorly build city. if you seek Frostpunk into this game = Don't buy it.
