The moment the blizzard comes in and you hear music, that's when the boss battle starts. The temperature falls below -100°C, people getting sick by the droves, people start dying due to the sheer freezing cold, no one can go outside, your generator is being driven far beyond its limits and could shut down at any moment, and you sit there in the comfort of your own home....watching and hoping the city won't fall. The City Must Survive.
The best moment is that final deep cold, where nothing works and you're just staring at your coal supply, PRAYING that you have enough to make it through, and knowing you don't
UNLESS You play the game in the middle of winter then OMG does that immersion really hit different! First time I played this was during the disastrous multi week winter in Texas.

"fun" fact: -40° is the only temperatiure, which matches in C and F... its still waaaaay too cold x_X edit: 18:50 - GODDAMNIT, i almost choked on my coffee from this one xD 23:30 - so he really gave the scouts Vergils theme (DMC)
The black clouds and icy winds rush over head. As the CO2 in the air freezes solid before falling in veins into the generator's range and immediately vaporizing. The Captain stands on the railing of the Generator as it whines and creeks from the overclocking. Looking in horror as the liquid in the thermometers has frozen solid and it's still getting colder. Mean while you're looking in a near panic as the Generator's stress level slowly ticks up counting the seconds as the storm rages. While "The city must survive" plays in the background.
Bit of a in-game thing but this game can get VERY dark & depressing & hopeless very quickly. It's also very unforgiving if you make a mistake & I can vouch for it since I played this game a long time ago. Also this game was released 6 years ago. Heat & Coal are the MOST important things in this game then research then other resources homes are then the next important thing, no homes means people die fast & they die quickly & have a higher chance for limb loss which means they become useless until you research prosthetics which is a mid/late game research & is quite pricey at that time if you don't have the resources.
When he says “another depressing polish game,” I think he’s referencing “This War of Mine,” by the same studio, it’s about a group of survivors trapped in a city torn apart by a war and trying to survive
@@Airier Yeah, the "not yet" was because you don't get access to the first of them until shortly before what is generally considered the end of the first act of the main scenario.
There is one expansion your city is mostly run by the robots While on the base game you can build quite a few of them my record was 11 i think Sadly normally when scouts face Bears they usually die
How soon we talking? Probably keep me from grabbing this game if it goes on sale (actually, might speed up how fast I get it if the new game gives the old one a discount 🤔).
25:00: Seed arcs are a real thing, actually, aimed at preserving biodiversity especially among agriculturally important plants. The biggest one today is on the norwegian island of Svalbard. It's a gigantic underground vault that cost the norwegian government like 9 million dollars to build, and it now preserves seed samples for *over a million* distinct plant types and genetic variations, and basically welcomes anyone who wants to store more samples of their own there to do so at no cost. The whole site is at this point basically humanity's final insurance policy against any variety of apocalyptic events driving important plant types into extinction.
@@Airier IIRC they had some water intrusion at the entrance tunnel a few years back, but it was never any real danger. They completely rebuilt the entrance anyway just to make sure.
1:12: Well, to answer that? -89.2°C is the coldest temperature ever recorded on Earth. This happened in 1912 at Vostok Station, Antarctica. Though to be fair, the temperature gauge in Frostpunk IIRC includes wind chill and shows temperature above the crater rim. Fall of WInterhome is kinda genius in that it is a city-builder IN REVERSE. Simply put, you start out with big, but completely fucked up city. You start fixing it, but then you find out that the generator was damaged during the short civil war. IRREPERABLY damaged. The generator is failing. It's getting worse and worse. You're on the clock to it giving up the ghost entirely and the city freezing to death. You cannot stop it, only slow it down at best. So the entire scenario changes: You're building an evacuation convoy. You load it up with as many people, supplies, materials etc. as you can, all while things get worse and worse as the generator starts tearing itself apart. In the end, you start cannibalising your own city. Those empty houses the generator can't reach anymore? The empty factories, the unmanned buildings etc. that you don't have a workforce for anymore because you already sent them to the evac site? You tear 'em down for more wood and steel to load up on the convoy. Your city is collapsing in on itself, and all that's left for you is to save whatever resources you can. And there probably won't be enough space on that evac convoy for everyone...
Cemetary increases hope in the sense that corpse lying and rotting about everywhere in the city or a ditch are not the thing inspiring hope for survival.
While both Faith and Order are ultimately authoritarian extremists at their higher ends, they are different in *how* they prioritize managing the City. Faith distributes warm food away from the generators (ie, they can be used as cheaper steam hubs) and allow you to create a worse version of infirmaries which use any citizens instead of only engineers and don't require a steam core to build. Basically, it's a build to use when you need to conserve resources and skilled labor. Order, however, focuses on raw efficiency. Its buildings are smaller, so they're easier to plan around, and you receive a number of powers that lets you boost productivity.
That is really one amazing game you stumbled on right here. Frostpunk 1 (and soon 2) is great on its own but it also has good video content on it like in-depth nerdcore songs by Danbull and The Stupendium (who are both very welcoming to reactions), well edited meme-ish videos and a couple truly profound analyses delving into this cold doomed world.
Unironically, when you say that you are bad at City builders, then Fortpunk is perfect for you. The reality is, Forstpunk excels at putting you against though moral choices. Many choices do however relate to being Immoral or losing recourses that can lead to suffering down the line. So if you are good at city builders/resource management games, these choice can become trivial. So in my opinion, being bad at City builders will make Frostpunk more enjoyable.
Which is actually so awesome in my Opinion. Even in this bleak and ruthless frozen hellscape you can still be a good person and with enough smart and perseverance be able to survive.
Airier, good news. Frost Punk has periodic sales. I got mine under $20, so wait, and you'd be fine. The bad news is that Frost Punk's sequel is due to be released this year. Yeah, no break for you.
As Bricky said you are trying to sustain the city and after certain event, you start to think the last city. Then after some time when you think maybe you have it, the Storm is detected, which is approaching. You on a death clocks now and you need as many food, coal and enough research to withstand it, then some dude ask you some of food because his daughter somehow left the city and he goes out to seek her. And when Storm is here, it becomes 100 then 110 degrees cold, sickness skyrockets, your generator has to work on maximum. And then finale, 120 degrees, nothing but hospitals and automatons work, you have to overdrive generator, it goes critical, you have to send a child inside and with threat of his life throw a dice if he able to prolong generator`s life because if you turn off generator`s overdrive everyone will start to die in a blink of an eye and if generator blows up you lose. And now all you can is hope what ends faster, your generator`s durability or the Storm with a final part main theme which will increase your tension stronger then a car accident
I picked it up in cheap bundle (before it was available for free) because I'd heard a lot of good things, but haven't got around to it. Stupendium's Frostpunk song's great though.
When I bought the game, I tried it out a little and really liked it but other stuff came up so I had to cut it short. On the weekend when I had a day off, I decided I wanted COMPLETE immersion. I turned my A/C to max, blasted a fan right at my back, turned the lights off and set my LED ambience lights to a light blue, and my god. I was a shivering, stressed and anxious mess, my city constantly on the very edge of falling into the abyss, and I loved every second of it. I have never felt more hopeless and dreadful than that time. Spent 8 hours straight playing like that and when I achieve something good, like a milestone or something, I reward myself with a warm towel and it was an astonishing relief everytime I felt the slight warmth on my hands. I basically semi-tortured myself, and I got a cold doing it, but I have never felt more like I was in modern day UK ever since. Such a great experience and the game is a lot of fun.
I think in terms of the balanced Workshop research, the "Additional Scouts" is the ONLY one that is super OP. Scouting additional zones faster is incredibly powerful. But literally EVERYTHING else is a nice give-and-take.
Will you watch "The Last Autum" video? 17:05 While the direction itself is forced by the plot, individual laws are not. You can stop signing them at any time.
What he meant by "another depressing Polish game" is that 11-Bit Studios also made the award-winning war civilian survival simulator, This War Of Mine.
the robots are here in the base game as well, its just that you NEED them in the seed ark scenario sicne as bricky said your workforce is small and cannot grow otherwise. but even in the base game automatons are AWESOME, being workers that work better than humans, but also work 24/7 (VERY good to make sure you dont run out of coal during the night) and dont need any maintenance
This game is a masterclass in how to make a epic drama Mother nature is unleashed in a frozen hellscape and the end of the main story gets absolutely insane, this little city builder gave me more fight for survival than any survival game i have ever played, it gave me trauma, anxiety and tears and i loved every single second of these few hours in hell I dont generally like SteamPunk genre but this is more than simple SteamPunk and i was a fan instantly On my Steam review i gave it "flawless 10/10" on Story, Music and Visuals and an excellent 9.5/10 on Gameplay, it is absolutely one of the highest scoring games i have ever reviewed :D I dont know what my expectations actually are for FrostPunk 2 but in no way shape or form do i expect FrostPunk 2 to be able to outscore the first one on Storytelling, its the kind of thing that you only manage to make once
You might want to hold off on getting Frostpunk and instead wait a bit for when Frostpunk 2 releases in Juli 25 of this year. Or do get it and play the second aswell when it comes out it's a great game.
2:45 You know how history kinda defines how the nation sees itself? Like how am3rica is essencialy any 1980's action movie? Well... history of poland is centuries constantly dealing with greatest natural disasters know to man: Neighbours. When the goverment is disolved, there is widespread famine & anarchy and all the buildings got few hubdred feet shorter... it's called tuesday
Icarus, Frostpunk, Ixion and similar are games that are so close to perfect one desperately wishes for an AI capable of 'touching them up' just so. More games of this sort are only made because the ideal has not yet been managed the normal way.
You will have to pick Faith or Order at some point, but you don't have to go as far as religious police, public penance, etc. But when you're struggling to prepare for the Great Storm, you'll think about it. To me, the way you win the game is not just surviving. It's surviving without going too far
This game is awesome. I have hours in this. The opening animation of the scenarios do a great explanation of things. Wait until Frostpunk 2 comes out later this year. Even the music is worth a buy.
Its polish game. The dominant feeling that it want from you is depression. Scouts dont need the thing that people in city need. But winning without them is imposible so they are balanced. For example they can die depend on your choices.
You reallly should watch his Last autume reivew! He sets it up sp perfectly, it really complements this video! Edit: Before i click off this video, you should try Frostpunk! I dont care for city builders, but this one stands out as the outlier, I also recommend reacting to the trailers, they dont tell you much about the gameplay per say, but let you get "the vibe" for what your in for!
you can build the robots in most scenarios including the 1st one. the game can be won but the question it asks of you is how far you are willing to go to ensure its survival. will you forfeit your humanity or hold on to it. A huge storm will hit in all scenarios and you have to prepare for it. each scenario will throw a curve ball at you to test your humanity. The temperatures will constantly decrease with a slow return to warm before decreasing further. it is up to you to beat the current challenges while preparing for future ones. scenario one has faith and order where they differ in faith being more passive while order requires active stuff like an RPG. the ark asks you if you are willing to allow another city to die to ensure your survival and so on. I can`t recommend this game enough.
There is a Stupendium song about this game you need to check out. There are also probably going to be 50 or so other comments bringing this up, but it's good enough that I'm saying it anyway.
It's a really good game and a lot of fun but also verse intense despite you being able to literally stop time 😅 Also yes the last autumn is really good as well and has a bit more twist than the other scenarios. The others are all the main with a twist but the overall same mechanics while the last autumn has different mechanics and problems to throw in your way.
I have thw board game...bi always wanted to play multiplayer frostpunk. For how cold it gets in the game the atmosphere would be freezing and raining down. Having experienced negative 35ish as actual pain i cant imagibe that kind of cold

"Graveyards give Hope?"
When the alternative is tossing them in the generator as spare fuel? Apparently.
The moment the blizzard comes in and you hear music, that's when the boss battle starts.
The temperature falls below -100°C, people getting sick by the droves, people start dying due to the sheer freezing cold, no one can go outside, your generator is being driven far beyond its limits and could shut down at any moment, and you sit there in the comfort of your own home....watching and hoping the city won't fall.
The City Must Survive.

Also be used for transplants.

Then You die because You Cannot bury people .
The People of Winterholm say 'Prey to you God or your Foreman'
I'm pretty sure you're forced into the first Law of either Hope or Order when you pick them, but ya other than that you don't have to pick one
Only on sandbox and easy are such luxuries afforded you.
You don't have to sign laws you don't agree with.
Heave, lads! Ho, lads!

When markplier streamed some time ago and accidentally created a soup cult with chat choosing the laws 😂
26:06 : And never was, neither Marie Antoinette not anyone. That was an anecdote that Jean Jacque Rousseau made up.
I would recommend watching his reviews on the dlc and other scenarios of frostpunk…because this isn’t the worst of it.
2:45 You know how history kinda defines how the nation sees itself? Like how am3rica is essencialy any 1980's action movie?
Well... history of poland is centuries constantly dealing with greatest natural disasters know to man: Neighbours.
When the goverment is disolved, there is widespread famine & anarchy and all the buildings got few hubdred feet shorter... it's called tuesday
Its better than a regular indi game
Its a game from poland
Jon Solo is a good TH-cam channel highly recommended and won’t affect your wallet at all
Icarus, Frostpunk, Ixion and similar are games that are so close to perfect one desperately wishes for an AI capable of 'touching them up' just so. More games of this sort are only made because the ideal has not yet been managed the normal way.
The game is on sale, today till May 6th, for $5.99 or $8.56 with DLC. Get it.
Would recommend the Last Autumn video.
You will have to pick Faith or Order at some point, but you don't have to go as far as religious police, public penance, etc. But when you're struggling to prepare for the Great Storm, you'll think about it.
To me, the way you win the game is not just surviving. It's surviving without going too far
LMFAO Pretty sure Bricky's fav Space Marine Legion (traitor) is Night Lords
This game is awesome. I have hours in this. The opening animation of the scenarios do a great explanation of things.
Wait until Frostpunk 2 comes out later this year.
Even the music is worth a buy.
Its polish game. The dominant feeling that it want from you is depression.
Scouts dont need the thing that people in city need. But winning without them is imposible so they are balanced. For example they can die depend on your choices.
You reallly should watch his Last autume reivew! He sets it up sp perfectly, it really complements this video!
Edit: Before i click off this video, you should try Frostpunk! I dont care for city builders, but this one stands out as the outlier, I also recommend reacting to the trailers, they dont tell you much about the gameplay per say, but let you get "the vibe" for what your in for!
Heads up @Airier Bricky just dropped Frostpunk 2 review. Hope to see your reaction.
if you genuinely did not know Bricky did Warhammer...I learned about him through warhammer. his wh videos. moderately hilarious. :)
Ah yes.. an epilog.. the Frostpunk 2 :D
23:30 that is the storm that is approaching
Don't forget the Last Autumn 🍂 video
you can build the robots in most scenarios including the 1st one. the game can be won but the question it asks of you is how far you are willing to go to ensure its survival. will you forfeit your humanity or hold on to it. A huge storm will hit in all scenarios and you have to prepare for it. each scenario will throw a curve ball at you to test your humanity. The temperatures will constantly decrease with a slow return to warm before decreasing further. it is up to you to beat the current challenges while preparing for future ones.
scenario one has faith and order where they differ in faith being more passive while order requires active stuff like an RPG.
the ark asks you if you are willing to allow another city to die to ensure your survival and so on. I can`t recommend this game enough.
Cool. I see what you did there there Airier ;)
you should watch his video on the DLC
There is a Stupendium song about this game you need to check out. There are also probably going to be 50 or so other comments bringing this up, but it's good enough that I'm saying it anyway.
27:24 Guys, I think Ramshackle is having side effects.
A comment for the nightmare beast called Algorithm!
The epilogue would be the sequel they are working on
the fact that the game on Steam cost about $30 is really a good worth buying
Still cant stop giggling after hearing "polished" knowing that game was made by...polish people
a chematary gives people the hope that their body will be buried so they living Family can come and talk to them.
Watch his followup video on the Last Autumn DLC!
Also it is on 80% off sale now :D till May 6
Do it, become a Frostpunk
For the record, the original Cities Skylines came out before Frostpunk. You're thinking of the sequel.
Don't beat yourself over it. Just wait for a good discount and you are gonna have a good time.
You should check out his video on the Frostpunk expansion "The Last Autumn" It is extremely good!
frostpunk 2 is playable now .....enjoy the first one like i did
It's a really good game and a lot of fun but also verse intense despite you being able to literally stop time 😅
Also yes the last autumn is really good as well and has a bit more twist than the other scenarios. The others are all the main with a twist but the overall same mechanics while the last autumn has different mechanics and problems to throw in your way.
9:20 well cemetary vs let the body rot in their home. or in this case freeze in their home.
really hope you do his video on last autumn
"Like Civ but way more trying to murder you"
More like ANNO than Civ, since Civ is turn-based but this is real time
I have thw board game...bi always wanted to play multiplayer frostpunk. For how cold it gets in the game the atmosphere would be freezing and raining down. Having experienced negative 35ish as actual pain i cant imagibe that kind of cold
3:15 gets confused about Angry British.
Sir, Airier, WarHammer Orks. That’s why it’s bad.
