Frostpunk 2 is the sequel to the highly acclaimed, BAFTA-nominated society survival game. The age of steam has passed and now, oil leads the way as humanity’s newest salvation. However, with new threats on the horizon, the future of the city looks even grimmer than before.
A sequel that takes the thrilling cold-survival city-building heart of Frostpunk and evolves it in every way, while losing none of what made it special.
Thanks to a ground-up rethinking of its ice-age city builder mechanics, Frostpunk 2's larger scale is less intimate but more socially and politically complex than the original.
Frostpunk 2's challenging gameplay makes for a compelling experience despite a dour and cynical view of human nature.
Endure a blizzard of tough choices and lasting consequences in the survival city builder sequel.
Frostpunk 2 successfully expands on everything that the original brutal city builder had, and its larger scale, great story campaign, and new faction system are as "fun" as a calamity reduction simulator can get.
Frostpunk 2 is an atmospheric, bold attempt to reinvent its society-moulding subgenre, but its story and building too often frustrate.
