Frostpunk

I established an automated utopia where people are fed well and treated with respect. In another playthrough I created a theocratic hellscape where people are persecuted for not listening to me. This game is wonderful and its DLC intense. I would recommend it to anyone that is interested an an immersive story where you fulfill the role of leader. Moreover, the soundtrack by Piotr Musuat is one of the best videogame soundtracks in history.

In this game you lose track of time. I'm serious, when you play the New Home scenario for the first time you won't be able to stop until you finish it. And you need to finish it, because there are DLC scenarios ahead. I would really like to see new DLC, but it looks like after the sequel we will still get what we loved the first part of the game for <3.

I honestly will say I enjoyed my time with this game, while the games difficulty can be a bit jarring its just right I would say especially for the context of the difficulty there is a harder difficulty that I wish upon only the most masochistic of people who are willing for more punishment. the hope and discontent system is very unique, only problem I have with the system is nothing special happens when you max out hope. no event, no nothing, just knowing your in a way too comfortable position, as a hopecell myself, hopemaxxing not being rewarded is sad. :(

i usually hate steampunk aesthetics but this game is so good i don't care

game needs better tutorial, hard to get into, and the font size is uncomfortably small.

This game is Amazing, Difficult, Fun, and very unique to any other city management game I have ever played before I love it :) (PS it will eventual persuade you to the dark side)

Can you survive one more day? Much has been said about 11-bit studio's smash hit Frost Punk and its much-awaited sequel Frost Punk 2. One of the best survival games of the city-builder genre ever created. Deep in world lore and choices that have vast, deep, and consequential effects on gameplay and outcomes. It is fun and addictive to play, and replay over and over again, just to see if you can keep a few more survivors alive, or make it through without having to become god or a despot. The expansions include multiple scenarios to follow, and one of the finest endless modes I've ever seen (with unique options for difficulty and challenge). If I have any complaints, they are mostly minor gripes with some choices that have options so bad you never use them, and you can only pick one of the two paths for purpose. It’s not a game issue, but it can limit what you can do sometimes. The game is very well polished with almost no bugs or issues (though I have found people can get clipped into the map and die from not going to get treated). I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a challenge and enjoy testing their limits and morals is a world that asks you simply this: Who you become at the end of the world?

a lot of love was put into this game. it felt really original playing this, I loved the challenge, and even after you finish the main story, they've made sure there's plenty of other stories/challenges for you to try and keep you busy. bought it for a really low price to see if I'd like it, and I'll be buying the frost punk 2 soon for sure!

Отличная атмосфера, классная история в игре, советую поиграть

I bought this game quite a few years ago, gave it a try, and pretty much quit when I got to the brink of failing in the main story. Fast forward to now, and I've replayed every scenario multiple times, with a lot of endless saves built up. In Frostpunk, resource management and caring for your population are essential to success. Failure to do so will result in inability to catch the curveballs the game throws at you to stress-test your city. It is a lot of micromanagement for the uninitiated, but once you learn the advantages and disadvantages of certain buildings, technologies, and laws, that's when the game starts becoming a lot easier. Once you learn what each scenario asks of you, it becomes even easier... at least on normal difficulty. I haven't tried the harder difficulties extensively, but maybe someday I will. However, I strongly recommend the average player to go into each scenario blind (in particular, A New Home, Fall of Winterhome, and The Last Autumn), because at heart, Frostpunk is best enjoyed for its harrowing and emotional stories, involving players by forcing them to make tough choices, not knowing what the consequences might be. The difficulty serves as a device for players to sympathize with the plight of the people they take care of, applying pressure without making it feel unnatural, and at the end of each run, the game gives you a chance to reflect on what you've chosen. The game is an ode to humanity, of both its NPCs and the player, and for that, it earns its place as one of the best pieces of media I've ever had the pleasure of consuming.

Its hard, full of challenges but a whole lore to discover. You cant play it like an ordinary sim cheering up whenever your pawns has a wedding or dance, no. Here you have to be serious about your plans or pawns can die or revolt. Its tough to keep playing in this frozen hellscape, but great game overall.

This game isn't only about resource management, it's about the people, you choose what will happen your people. in the end i can't really tell myself as a good guy, i'm just a man who would do anything to make the city survives. also the music is phenomenal, really hits you in the feelings.

Just finished the New Home scenario. What a great game! It was incredibly stressful at times, but in the best way. It took me a few attempts to beat the scenario, and every run kept me on edge. The soundtrack was phenomenal, especially during the final seven days; it really added to the tension and atmosphere. If you love resource management games, you'll absolutely love this. I'm definitely looking forward to playing the DLCs next!

Great game. I really liked the scenario, then after finishing it I bought all the DLC, and of all of them the last autumn was the best, especially the endless mode with pioneer, it remind me my first game with how at first everything fine but if you don't act fast (really fast in case of the pioneer endless mode) you end up with all your city seek, no arms to continue bringing you resources and you loose. This game have one problem though, it than after you have done all scenario, there's nothing new with the endless mode, and so you end up bored

This game is incredibly accessible for newcomers to the Strategy genre, like myself. No massive spreadsheets, no dozens of sub-menus, no massive empire, no hundreds of units. Everything is condensed, personal and driven by the plot, decisions and skill/tech investments almost like a RTS-RPG hybrid. The difficulty is straight brutal, but it'll be easy to see where you went wrong. I highly recommend to anyone looking to dip a toe in the Strategy genre, with meaningful decisions all coated in nice Snowpiercer vibes.

An amazing experience from start to finish. I struggled. I failed. I won. I love this world and I love the concept of each scenario. It felt like the stakes were real and losing even just one person was personal. I strive to do better in the next run. City builders can be fun, but usually I get bored of those quick. I enjoy this game more because of the survival/resource management that comes with playing. Bundle up, it' getting colder.

I've always had a real joy and (pleasant frustration) in this title, but it's never given me pause to dislike it. But it def asks of you a certain mood to jump into it, as if you're already having a stress-ridden day, it's not going to play nice. I like FROSTPUNK, and I appreciate the Dev's for doing such an excellent job in its execution. And every playthrough always feels unique, even if you end up following a similar meta near the end game, as the tech-tree usually ends up being mostly filled out in it's entirety, leaving little room to experiment, outside of how many of each structure you have in play. Early playthrough's were hard, and it taught me through trial and error, not through hints or guides. (please try to survive on your own, not off of someone else's tips and tricks) Seeing that they released a second game, however; It is nothing like it's predecessor, as it plays more like an ANNO title, wherein this has very specific building management, feeling more akin to an RTS/RPG. But if you like torturing yourself for the fun of it, go for it! :D Also, I have some theme'd FrostPunk Art posted on my profile if you'd like to see!

TLDR Rating: 70/100 A good city-survival game. There is some variance in the starting game options/decision. It does get quite linear (e.g. same strategy) in mid to late game. I had a good experience in my campaign. I am not sure there is a reason to start another (not enough diversity / building path / available strategies). If you get it on sale, It's a solid game for one-time campaign.

Frostpunk is a fantastic resource management and planning game. It will punch you in the face, HARD, if you don't put forward thought into decisions you make. Go down the wrong path early on in the game and you'll find yourself struggling to get enough coal generated per day just to keep the lights on. Coal input on lock? Good, but guess what you didn't prioritize heating improvements enough and now you can have all the coal in the world but the temperature drops are getting so severe that your current heat output isn't enough even with plenty of enough coal to power the generator. Coal and heat good? Opps, a storm is hitting and all your food input is disabled until it passes. I hope you stockpiled enough food to last the storm. It's a razor-thin balancing act where everything has to be prioritized at the same time somehow. I hate it, but I also love it.

probably one of the best games ever made in existence. it mixes hard choices and ethical decision making, and city building, and survival! how is that even possible? no idea 12/10 recommend

HANDS DOWN! One of the greatest games I've ever played! I cant summarise it here, but god do I recommend this masterpiece of the city builder genre! And the setting and world is one of my most beloved EVER! Oh, oh! And that soundtack! Well, I'll just leave you to experience that!

unique & challenging, quite different than a simple city builder game. recommended

Lots of customisability of level of difficulty, engaging, intellectual and great fun!

38 people have died & the game REALLY wants me to legally endorse child labor. Outstanding experience.

A lot like dark souls in the sense you fail, learn from your mistakes, and come back smarter. Very difficult, but fun. Very stressful, but fun. 9/10 so far

I never thought that a city building game can have such a deep and compelling story. Also banger soundtrack. 9.5/10 would recommend.

Game is very fun with many different routes to take. I enjoyed it especially for its cheap pricetag. (5 dollars at the time)

Very addictive game. I will definitely do more runs in the future.

I quite enjoyed this game and would have considered buying FP2, but I've since moved almost entirely to Linux. It's sad that I no longer have a way to play FP, but in the end, Windows has gotten unusable for me and Mac always was, so I guess I leave it there. Good game, so I'll give it 4 stars, but it's missing one because I just can't play it.

This is probably the best Survival City Builder I have ever played, and one of the best games I have played outright. The setting, the scenarios, the lore and - most importantly - the gameplay are top notch, and I have really enjoyed diving in to the different story arcs of the generator cities. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who is remotely interested in city-building games, the post-apocalyptic and/or steampunk genre and players who love stories about hope & despair. But even if those aren't your cup of tea, I still urge you to give this game a try, as it has come as close to being a masterpiece as few games have before it.

Very good game, Not easy, And remisicent of the olden times when games were good, somewhat hard and enjoyable. Let's just say the last cycle I went ape, and gave it my all and survived. But on the cusp of death and failure. That feeling of adrenaline is unmatched. What a game, what a game. I hear FP2 Is sub-par compared. I am waiting for Dark Switch and wanna replay this to itch my scratch.

Incredible game. The best city survival game I've ever played. Buy this. Play it. Write reviews about how much better this is than the sequel for both review sections please. This game is undying in its excellence.

Frostpunk delivers one of the most gripping and realistic city-building experiences I’ve ever played. Every decision you make feels heavy, not just because of the resources you manage, but because real human lives are at stake. The moral dilemmas are intense and make you question your own values as a leader. The graphics are stunning and immersive. Watching your city cling to life amidst the freezing wasteland is both beautiful and haunting. What really hooked me, though, is how addicting the game becomes. I constantly found myself thinking about what should I do next. Especially when the people start protesting or losing hope. It’s a constant push and pull between survival and compassion. There are also plenty of tough challenges along the way. This game doesn’t go easy on you, and that’s what makes every victory feel earned. If you're into management, strategy, or simply love games that make you think, this is a 10/10. Highly recommended.

This was the game to make me fall in love with the genre. There's a lot of heart and love put into this. Highly recommend even for those who have never played city builder or resource management games.

Honestly, since I’ve gotten this game I have been infatuated with it’s story, the graphics even for a game released 7 years ago are just breathtaking, gameplay is simple but it can be fast paced with the complex decisions you have to make, 10/10 would recommend.

Very good game. Enjoyed it a lot, and its one of my favorite games thematically. Seen a lot of negative reviews that talk about difficulty, my take on it is that the game has a couple paths it wants you to take and you get punished for not taking those paths. the fun of the game is more finding those paths to success. In any case, buy game, or wait for a major sale because it regularly goes down by like 85%.

I found this game to be really compelling and well designed from a gameplay stand point. The learning curve is steep but easy enough once you get the hang of it (accompanied by a few google searches of course). It struck what I thought was a perfect balance between challenge and intuitiveness. It's definitely not meant to be an easy game, but if you're after a game that will make you think, with really satisfying progression and story guidance, this is a fantastic choice.

Very honestly, this game makes you think out of the box when it comes to expanding and getting resources. If the creators could partner with the guys over in Ixion, oh man I think they could do so many new things. Tried Frostpunk II but this version is still much better.

Great game. Very replayable. Can't wait until they expand it.

game that never gets old, cant believe its a game from 2018 the plot is amazing and the challenge is just fit

Super fun city-building game! The goal is to keep your civilization alive and not let the harsh elements win. It's a really fun, challenging game. Coming from someone who's played a lot of traditional games like this, I enjoy this one quite a lot: the learning curve is low and it's quick to pick up, and it's also got a ton of variation and exciting elements and game modes.

Everything! Love the game! The story, the desperation, the resource management. Everything is fantastic!

Great game. It was my first city builder so it kicked my but brutally, but the satisfaction when I finally beat the scenario was amazing! Keep replaying it even though I got the sequel.

Awesome game. It is really CPU demanding, after 2h (laptop): CPU at average 85ºC with a i7 -13700 GTX 4060 75ºC

Would I recommend this game to other players? Yes! A resounding yes! If by now you haven't played this game, do yourself a favor and gift this to yourself and/or to your friends. Every playthrough finished feels like you accomplished something - at least in my case, and that is something missing from a lot of games nowadays. Even if you're not into city building genre, this one of those games that you must have in your library. Anyway, do your best to survive winter!

A perfect example of a city builder/survival game out there. If you're looking for a challenging but not overwhelming experience, then this is the game for you.

Played one game on the easy difficulty so far, after watching ~45mins of guides. Took me ~6 hours? I'm coming from Civ 5 and probably have ~750 hours on that game, beating many but not all of the harder difficulties. So what does it boil down to? This game is fun. It puts you in tough spots, where you're forced to decide the fate of your kingdom. It feels brutal making choices knowing how your colony is going to suffer because of it, and doing everything to just keep it alive. It's hard to sit down for 6 hours at a time to finish a match, but let me say I was glued to my chair, not in a healthy way either, for half a day determined to outlive the storm... So yeah.. great job dev team. 5/5.

This is the only game i've found that lets me put children to work in coal mines. 10/10 would reccomend.

game khá hay nhưng hở ra cái là điểm kỳ vọng tụt nhanh vl

Very interesting game and I love the concept, the scenarios can feel a bit rushed though I think, but overall fun. The endless mode I enjoyed a lot.
