There has never been anything quite like “Blue Prince”. The game combines “Myst”, Escape Rooms, “The Crazy Labyrinth” and roguelike elements into a fascinating addictive package. Day by day, room by room, I delve deeper into the world of Mount Holly Mansion. Everything puzzle/roguelike-game that comes after it will have to measure up to this magnum opus. For me, it is already the game of the year.

Like its predecessor, Frostpunk 2 is extremely dark and dystopian. If you are looking for a laid-back building strategy game to relax in, you are in the wrong place here. The rays of hope are few and far between, and death and despair are omnipresent. The political components, the exciting story and the decisions whose consequences you have to live with are great. Yes, it lacks the complexity of comparable strategy games. If you are looking for the great depth and complex gameplay mechanics of Anno, you won't find them here. Nevertheless, Frostpunk 2 is a worthy successor. The annoying micromanagement is gone, exploration and politics take up more space, which I appreciate. If you can cope with the dark scenario, you can definitely pick it up. “Frostpunk 2” only just misses out on four stars.

Almost out of nowhere, "Prince of Persia" has become a contender for the "Metroidvania of the Year" award.
