Frostpunk 2 Expands Scale and Complexity, Divides Critics

The sequel to the popular city-builder introduces larger cities, complex faction dynamics, and challenging moral decisions.

Set 30 years after the original, Frostpunk 2 sees players managing a much larger and more complex city.
The game introduces new mechanics like district-based construction and resource management across multiple colonies.
Factions within the city add layers of political intrigue, requiring players to negotiate and balance competing interests.
Critics note that while the expanded scale offers new strategic depth, it also makes the game feel less intimate and more overwhelming.
Despite some mixed reviews, the game is praised for its atmospheric visuals and emotionally charged decision-making.
