Frostpunk 2 may have been disappointing, but it's time to give it another chance

The original Frostpunk was a visionary combination of survival and strategy games. Focused on a tiny, try-hard settlement, it felt like a mix of Civilization 6 and The Long Dark - Age of Empires by way of The Forest. Six years later, it sports a 'very positive' rating on Steam, and a player count in the thousands. Frostpunk 2 isn't so lucky. The user reviews are less enthusiastic. Similarly, in the last 24 hours, Frostpunk 2's concurrent player count peaked at a comparatively meager 856. But if it let you down at launch, there's a new reason to go back to 11 bit's sequel - and it's all about Frostpunk 2 mods.

I've lost weekends to crushing dissenters and seals in Frostpunk 2 and that's why it's my personal pick for game of the year




To harvest the seals or not harvest the seals? That is a question put to me as Steward of a newly-reforged city-state. Don't worry, I did not eat the seals. I did, however, do much worse—so are the horrid consequences of trying your best in Frostpunk 2...
