Frostpunk 2 is as lethal of a game as the original, but it accomplishes its objectives through different means. We will face not the frost, but politics, and the scale of construction exceeds the small town centered around the reactor.

How I Survived Another Summer. About Games That Are (Not) Afraid of Cold

At the end of the summer, I would like to pay tribute to the productions that for the past few years have allowed me to survive the increasingly unbearable heat, and at the same time reflect on why games – unlike other cultural artifacts – shun cold so much.

Destructoid: 8.5 / 10 by Patrick Hancock

Frostpunk is such a bizarre game. Playing through it mechanically and logistically leads to a relatively standard resource manager. However, by investing yourself in the town and the people within it, you allow in the crushing weight of the decisions you'll have to make and the emotional consequences that follow. They may not be affecting real people, but treating it as such is what this game is all about. It's an emotional roller coaster that will likely leave you more defeated after "winning" than when you first started, and that is incredible.

Full Review

Shacknews: 8 / 10 by Brittany Vincent

The game does lose a bit of its luster after you beat the main scenario, but the two additional stories do put what you learned to the test. I'm eager to see what new situations 11 Bit Studios adds to the Frostpunk in the future, as the concept has a ton of untapped potential.

IGN: 9 / 10 by Caley Roark

Frostpunk deftly mixes a variety of thematic ideas and gameplay elements into an engaging and unique, if occasionally unintuitive, strategy game.
