Frostpunk review
« on: May 11, 2018, 02:58:21 PM »
My review of the interesting but flawed gem that is Frostpunk, the new game from the same studio that released "This War of Mine" a couple of years ago.
Great theme and atmosphere but too short and with too many constraints to really make this a great game. In Frostpunk you take on the role of a leader of a small community trying to survive freezing temperatures, frostbite, hunger and limited resources in 3 different scenarios that have survival as their shared main objective.
Hopefully the game will be expanded with new scenarios and features later on.

I wonder if they will make a board game version of this game, like they did with This War of Mine. The transition into board game worked really damn good for TWOM and I can see this being turned into a worker placement/resource managment Euro style game with the difficulty level of Robinson Crusoe.

Check out the full review and a bunch of pictures from the game over at my blog:
