Whether it's the setting and mature themes presented or the diverse and complex gameplay mechanics, Frostpunk sets an example on how strategy games should be. The immersion is so deep that it is difficult to realize the lost (but well invested) hours. It is a game that deserves your attention and it's absolutely worth of your time.

Frostpunk is not for the faint of heart. However, if you think you can handle the stressful job of being a leader, you can easily lose a couple of nights to the game.

Frostpunk is simply breath-taking. The game can keep you entertained and on the edge of your seat for hours. Unfortunately, this is why the game falls short.

Another amazing game from developers of This War of Mine. Beautiful story, challenging decisions, unique art style, variant gameplay mechanics and deep survival elements, made Frostpunk one of the best survival game of this generation and a must-have game for fans of deep dark challenging survival games. Don't miss it!

Frostpunk is both a fresh and intense experience in its genre. It is both a competent city-builder and an engaiging survivor game. Its beautiful art and music go very well with its settings and story. Your choices matter and each has its consequences, and pitch your senses of morality and reason against each other. The gameplay is challenging and fun by itself, yet new challenges are presented throughout the game to keep things fresh. The only downside is that these challenges lose their element of surprise after the first playthrough.

If doom and gloom isn't your thing then Frostpunk won't appeal and you're better off with a less misery-drenched city-builder such as the excellent Cities: Skylines. But if you're a sucker for the punishing post-apocalyptic (and this game can certainly dish it out) then Frostpunk's bleak winter wonderland will keep you hooked, turning you into a horrible, horrible person in the process.

Frostpunk is a solid entry into the city-builder genre with a unique survival twist, and one that's bound to appeal to those who have enjoyed similar games. Still, it lacks the personality and depth to win over anyone who doesn't already love micromanaging workforces and watching numbers go up.

Frostpunk is not as complex city builder as it could be, but an engaging one for sure. What is more important, it will challenge your moral principles like no other game before.

Atmospherically, Frostpunk is very good at making you feel the cold and the desperation that comes along with it. But since you don't really get to create emotional ties with the people you manage, you don't feel the emotional weights of the choices you make either.

Your most important challenge in the latest release from 11 Bit Studios is that you always have to make ethical decisions that affects your people directly. Putting the children to work? Using dead people's organs before sending their bodies to mass graves? Sacrificing some to save others? And so on. These are the decisions that you have to make if you are to lead your people through frozen wastelands of Frostpunk.

Frostpunk isn't perfect, but it doesn't really matter, as this is playing a different kind of ball game that has a unique charm of its own. It engrosses players into its frozen, post-apocalyptic world, and lets them do more than just design a city; it lets them really fear about failing, and it lets them feel immense joy for every small victory. It's a survival strategy game at its best.

After This War of Mine and its expansion, 11bit studios has done it again. Great attention to details, multiple choice options and artistic and technical design are the reasons that make Frostpunk a truly joyful experience for people who seek a truly different city builder.

I can only hope that players won't be discouraged by the insanely difficult learning curve because I promise you, on the other end is a beautiful game that everyone has to experience.

Both in technical execution and gameplay design Frostpunk is practically flawless. It's incredibly complex and may create an illusion of great moral pressure, and that's the beauty of it!

Frostpunk is one of the best strategy videogames of not only the recent years but maybe all times and now that the whole package is on consoles, it is a great time to experience this hellish ice storm.

Frostpunk is one of the best strategy games released in 2019 thus far. Console version of the game is nice, controls are properly implemented, easy to learn, but controling what's going on on the map with a game pad is difficult. The game plays great and looks amazing, but is missing keyboard and mouse controls, which is possible, but not implemented.

The console version of the Frostpunk game has no shortage of its own PC versions, bringing the same complete package to the consoles with great elegance. The new interface, along with the technical achievement and full content at a fair price, even encourages those who have experienced gaming on PCs to experience gaming on the console.

Frostpunk is like catching a city builder, like Maxis's famous Sim City but where our moral decisions can leave a trail of corpses along the way and ultimately fail means our end, or the end of the entire city. It is simply brilliant how moral decisions have been implemented with such great consequences in an almost innocent type of genre such as construction and city management, but 11 bit Studios has managed to do so, and in a very satisfactory way. Highly recommended.
