GodisaGeek: The presentation of Frostpunk 2 is done to such a high standard. Not only are the visuals superb, the UI and general organisation of menus and commands are clear, with a helpful tutorial that explains everything well. While Frostpunk 2 is one of the most bleak and arduous games I’ve played recently, famine and poverty have never looked as authentic. Zooming into the city also provides you with a more personal side to proceedings as you can see the people living and working, making your decisions hit home that little bit harder.
Frostpunk 2 demands your attention every second that you’re playing. Decisions are often tough, managing the flow of resources and growth of your city is constant, and dealing with small personal problems and larger, more impactful conundrums are always torturing you mentally. Despite these layers of challenge, I was in awe of the various challenges I encountered, and moving from chapter to chapter knowing your hard work is paying off gave me plenty of motivation to keep on going. You’ll likely fail at first, but it will all click eventually, leading to a rewarding and worthwhile experience in the end.
