And Frostpunk 2 Advanced early access ( apparently a newer new thing ) has gone live. Welcome to the Frostpunk 2 Campaign where I attempt to rule the wastelands and the city with an iron fist. taking what i can and keeping hold of power. Hope you all enjoy it! Thanks Evolve for the key, and thanks my awesome patreons for supporting me through the long editing needed for some of the newer style of videos.
I've noticed a lot of people complaining on the fact they feel Frostpunk 2 is bad because they can no longer feel the attachment to their citizens going on with their lives, as well as the game steering away from micro. The thing is, this is what the reality of city growth is. As more and more people are born or immigrate to your city, you will feel less connected with them as there are simply too many people. And the macro system represents the fact you have to supply the increasing demand from new people on a way bigger scale. Imagine keeping the micro system and individually building more houses, hothouses and mines to facilitate your city of thousands, that to me does not sound fun. I am not saying that there isn't any deserved criticism I just believe when doing a sequel to a city builder you have to remember that as time goes on a city will grow, and so the sequel represents that.
A lot of people don't like any change, and there are good and bad arguments on both sides. The thing that made frostpunk 1 so popular was how you cared for every single person. A single engineer death early could derail expansion and so on. Frostpunk 2 went from colony / city building to full on almost 4 x RTS style. You lose the care of the little people, and even losing hundreds makes it more a number game but it feels like a much larger expansion. But again you lose the care you had, and just juggle numbers now. I enjoy both for vastly different reasons, though if I am honest it does make me want to play 1 again. Hoping the modding scene for 2 adds some really interesting ideas
I think people expected something like warcraft 3 and frozen throne, same game but more refined, insted they got dawn of war and dawn of war 2, great games both but for someone that played a lot of one, playing the other is kinda weird. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed playing frostpunk 2 (right now I'm in my "evil" run) but I don't think I will come back as I did with 1.
It's got a lot of differences to the original that I am still wrapping my head around. I love how it doesn't just do the same game but expands it into a much larger style. I think if you wanted the same as 1 you won't like it but right now I personally love it and see it as a good sequel
Yeah the very beginning has an extremely high learning curve, but once you get the basic routine of what to put down first you should be able to survive a lot longer

yeah well like what else they supposed to do?
it still feels like you are impacting the lives of your citizens by enforcing different policies.
I find the reviews that criticize the sequel solely by comparison the worst.

Except you can have it both ways in the same game. You didn't account for that.
People in Rimworld : I don't have a table for my meal, Warcrime!
People in FrostPunk : I don't have a chair for my meal, Warcrime!
At least it's not as bad as Dwarf fortress, who warcrime over socks
I don't have potatoes: Genocide.
"I will call this 'Operation Scotland'." I love it
Glad you enjoyed that part :)
pilgrims are cringe
(not paid by stalwarts)
This feels suspiciously like a Stalwarts campaign to me
great play-through thankyou for the effort put into this :)
Thanks kindly, glad you enjoyed it!
felt like you played this one handed
Does FP2 have some banger music like the first game ??
Oh yeah it definitely does, I just had to have it off sadly for the vid, turned it back on straight after I was finished
i dont expect cannibalism, but yet no one does 💀5:20

Frostpunk 1 was a know every building game.
Frostpunk 2 is a build districts game.
Thats a nice argument, however, I am fundamentally incapable of comprehending contradictions to my worldview.
(This is a joke)
Thanks god! I always knew you were against me :P
Big E run
hope you enjoyed it
The mens in all video 😐
The mens when fallenshogun return to whinterhouse: 🫡🎉🎉
Have enyobe told you, you sound eccatlt like the spiffing brit (ore mby its just because i cant hear the difference because of your accent)
Weirdly someone has before, I don't hear it myself because we have different regional accents but it has been mentioned
Mmm. Potatoes.
Delicious food and emergency vodka all in one go
This game is tooo Difficult tried but its Too much
Yeah the very beginning has an extremely high learning curve, but once you get the basic routine of what to put down first you should be able to survive a lot longer
dunno about 2 tho, but for 1 I had to spend 30+ hours trial and errors before I can start playing the game
