Frostpunk Reviews
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.

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.

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.

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.
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 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.

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 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.
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.
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.

The console version of Frostpunk is a unique experience not only for strategy fans but for anyone who is looking for something new and different. In Frustponk, you are not creating an empire or fighting your enemies like many other strategy games, you actually trying to survive against nature’s wrath.

If you’re like me and missed this on PC don’t remain out in the cold, come in and see why it’s so good.
Frostpunk is quite simply one of the best city-building experiences on the PlayStation 4 with a highly detailed narrative written for four huge campaigns. The sadness in there only being four campaigns is a true testament to the team at 11 Bit Studios, as they have crafted such a memorable experience, with gut-wrenching decisions at every turn. The savagery of the game can have long-lasting effects that can carry into the subsequent play-throughs, as the memories of what arose from making previous decisions can sway future decisions down other pathways. For those who wish to experience a more laid-back 'Sim City' like experience, then this title may not be the right title to jump into. However after experiencing this, it will be easy to feel anxious to see whatever the team behind it has in store next.
The three additions collected together to the poop are a solid expansion of the Frostpunk universe. Only the price for each of them can stop the desire to buy, but new players in the topic is offered a complete edition of the game easier to swallow for the wallet.

In the end, Frostpunk feels like a breath of fresh air (albeit a chilly one) in a genre that’s now super competitive. Despite its few missteps like the inability to find specific buildings and the fact that it’s a bit too short, it’s a memorable experience that does a great job blending two genres together, being both a highly functional city builder and a survival game that actually requires you to care about your civilization. 11-bit’s attention to detail is outstanding, which not only shows through the game’s beautiful art style but also in how it handles every member of your civilization. And, the fact that it makes you have internal ethical conflict is the added wrinkle in gameplay that helps make it a wholly unique experience that shouldn’t be missed.
Frostpunk feeds from our most primal fears to provide a challenging and haunting experience on what it means to survive and the consequences of such act.

Frostpunk is used to carry messages you don’t often see in games, forcing gamers to make – and think about – the kind of difficult choices nobody should have to make. A must-play game.
Frostpunk is another great game from the talented over at 11 Bit Studio teams, which with only a few fixes and more content could become one of the best strategy and simulation game of the decade.
Frostpunk is an engrossing survival city builder that doesn't shun away from requiring difficult decisions on the player's part.
What separates Frostpunk from other city builders like it is the tension between ethics and expediency, morality and morale. Your decisions will cost you either your humanity or your principles.
