Thanks for watching everyone, and be sure to check out my short and long guides for the game (links in description). You can expand this comment to get some more quick thoughts I have about Frostpunk 2. I didn't want this video to be too long for you. By the way just for full disclosure here, I did get a free code provided like most other content creators/review sites around a game's launch, and this was recorded before any potential launch day or last minute patches. Anyway, here are some more Frostpunk 2 thoughts:

- The music goes hard at times, think of the piano fire guy meme.
- I enjoyed the seemingly dynamic or random events that pop up during the game that ask you to make a decision. I hope that can be modded so we can get all sorts of crazy scenarios.
- The game's atmosphere doesn't feel as oppressive or brutal as the first one, in my opinion. With the epic score at times, it feels a little more hopeful or like a big battle.

Finished the game 2 days ago. I can understand that why some fans aren't happy with the direction that the game took. But, one cannot innovate without pissing a few supporters off.

I finished story yesterday on the level you suggested. I don't agree with opinion that FP2 should follow micro level of build - for me both: FP1 and FP2 can live next to each other and compliment each other. I started doing utopia scenarios - I can see lots of replayability there. On my whishlist from FP1 was more involvement with frostland - and I got it to the point where it's very satisfying. What I love about FP2 is the soundtrack - which is amazing and adds a lot to game.

I've been really enjoying frostpunk 2. Once I figured out how to game the politics it actually got pretty easy

[XassassincodXstan]

They need to add a feature that u can see what policies will be taken away when u make a promise to make a different policy

[eriksprow]

Man you made a great vidoe...take my thumbs up.

[jkbscopes]

there is too much to do at once, i never have enough resorces or workforce and everyone hates me
i dont know why i cant do this on easy when people are beating the game on the hardest difficulty already

In FP1, you managed about 800 people, taking care of a small city. In FP2, you manage tens of thousands of people, taking care of a large city with outposts. I would like it if in FP3, you manage dozens of people, specifically, workers in one production facility (getting coal / wood / iron /food etc.)

the tension the first game had wasnt there. everything after the whiteout felt rushed and boring. Salvaging Winterhome felt to short. the final chapter took me about 10 minutes of gameplay. I was very disappointed with this sequel

[mikepopstar]

I dont really like it compared to nr1..this is to complex to be fun. Loved nr 1..the feeling of people was there..now the UI is horrible and you dont feel the people.

I dont want frostpunk 1 again, i want frostpunk 2, not frosttiles 2

[ieshadover]

I found it just dull and after awhile the pleading notification were just flat out annoying.

According to steam my computer needs a minimum of an i5 processor,

But my PC is just a simple i3 processor,

Therefore I can't download it cuz otherwise the graphics might look like trash

resource management has been dumbed down to 2 things... The politics are boring as fuck like take the worst most tedious part of 4x and make a game around it. This game is a frost punk as a name only the game has nothing to do with what you loved about frost punk.

simple! they take the risk and they fail

[AmirDarkOne]

yey another unoptimized unreal engine game with generic graphics

Thank you, Brotha'. :) A really nice review. 🖤🤍

Cute review, i mean this game is not for me, since i dont like city builder or simulator game so much, the first game is more on take care of people, story and survival, which i like since i feel like i responsible for every citizens, this frostpunk 2 just ...too cold cold for my liking.
