Overall, it’s a good little game that kept me engaged and happy for a solid 25 hours. Even though I have some issues with parts, it ultimately rewards you generously for your efforts and stays fresh dungeon dive after dungeon dive. Even with somewhat repetitive concepts at play, I never felt like I was grinding and didn’t really get bored. I am glad I had my controller at the ready though. The inbuilt control scheme for mouse and keyboard is far from comfortable.
It’s a dark game where few decisions are good, and survival is a tenuous proposition. Yet despite being set in a frozen wasteland, it’s the freshest take on the survival city builder I’ve seen in a long time. Whether you like city builders or not, Frostpunk will give you a lot to sink your teeth into, not sticking with the traditional values they are built on. Its performance could be improved however, slight freezes and the rare but infuriating crash can ruin quite a bit of work.
Dan Baker scrolls though the gorgeous Kanto region once again in Pokemon: Let’s Go. How does the revamp compare to it’s 20-something year old sibling?
