Early on you have a member of your people who suffers a severe and you are faced with a dilemma: amputate against the man’s wishes, or let him ride it out as he requests despite inevitable death. Very seldom are there good choices to be made, just less terrible ones. From here on out, you have a continual tug-of-war that you need to try and manage as you balance resources against the need to build and create new things while trying to give your people hope and attempting to mitigate their discontent.įrostpunk is one of those titles that just continually made me feel like a bad person, or perhaps at least a bad leader. The location itself is set into the ground, helping to shield it from blasts of arctic wind but still susceptible to the overall environments. This sets the foundation for what comes next as you take your collection of workers, engineers and yes, even children, and start to collect coal so that the reactor can be fired up. Upon arriving at the reactor site however, hope is immediately tested as no one is there and while the reactor itself appears whole, it is not currently running. Temperatures have fallen so far and so fast that most people never had a chance to survive it, and your ragtag group of travelers do everything in their power to reach a remote reactor that stands as their only hope.

The opening cinematics and storyline do an excellent job of portraying a group of people doing what they must to survive a winter that might make the great north in Game of Thrones seem like a pleasant spring breeze.

This is not the first time media has explored the idea of a sudden and unforgiving winter that never ends (Snowpiercer comes immediately to mind), but Frostpunk handles it better than most.

Both titles also challenge the notion of what makes a game fun or entertaining to play, as there is an oppressive weight to both throughout, but that did not cause me to put the controller down as I played The Last of Us and I certainly had a difficult time stepping away from Frostpunk as well. Not because of the gameplay or even the setting as the two games have nothing to do with one another on the surface, but thematically both games touch on the idea of hope and do so with dark, brooding atmosphere. There is a great narrative here, complimented by engaging mechanics and a plethora of incredibly difficult choices and wrapped up in excellent visuals.įrostpunk kind of reminds me of The Last of Us. There is a great deal to like about this city-builder / simulation title, as Frostpunk delivers on multiple fronts.
