I loved the first game! It was genuinely amazing. People don't talk about it, but it was seriously inspiring. I loved the exploration mechanic, and the general randomness they injected in.

I thought mechanically it was great, but the impending storm you face a set number of days in, that’s extremely hard to survive unless you min/max your time kinda kills it for me. The thing about city builder players is we often want to plot our own paths through a game, and have multiple ways to go about succeeding. FrostPunk is interesting in that it’s an incredibly linear experience which is probably why it’s not more popular.
If FrontPunk 2 kept the bleak setting and challenging survival, but didn’t have a predictable “You’re playing the game wrong” gate so early on, I think I’d like it much better.

I wanted to like the game so much. When i first booted it the first thing i saw is that they tried to sell me frostpunk 2. No thanks

I played one game, got my dick kicked in, and never picked up it again. I should probably try it again with a reduced difficulty. I have been playing Against the Storm, which scratches a similar itch tho

I had never heard of this game series but it sounds like the source material some shitty mobile game ripped off.

The first game had one of the most gut-wrenching stories I've ever seen in a city builder. It was really tough both emotionally and mechanically, but so rewarding when I finally won it.
I had to stop playing. It was a great game but good lord was it bleak.
