- Frostpunk Part 6 - the greatest boss battle you'll ever see in a city builder-type game. Possibly the only boss battle you'll ever see, but any attempts to top this will likely fail. This truly pushes the limits of strategy and insanity.

**VIDEO SPOILERS BELOW**
Frostpunk review, starting with what I liked:
- This campaign has the greatest video game storytelling I have ever seen. In addition to good writing, the integration of story and gameplay was silky smooth. The player does not observe the story, the player IS the story. This ensures that no two first playthroughs are alike. The decisions are often analog, the outcomes are not spoon fed, and the immersion is never broken. I genuinely felt like I captained a city through a winter apocalypse. This intensity of experience can only be achieved through the video game medium.
- The strategy is deep, yet accessible. I never felt overwhelmed learning the wealth of mechanics this game had to offer. There are thousands of decision points that can be tackled in several ways, and multiple strategies are powerful as long as you have a strong understanding of the basic principles.
- The difficulty curve was masterfully done. I constantly felt at the edge of my seat, and managed to improve at the exact pace that the game got harder. The surprise story events add a perfect amount of difficulty increase at just the right time. Despite being unable to predict these events, I was always still capable of reacting to and solving them in the nick of time.
- I love this game's take on morality. Coaxing a player to make more and more questionable moral decisions against their desires is an incredibly impressive feat. The overarching theme seems to be that poor morals are the crutch of an incompetent society. I had to pay for my incompetent decisions by building a propaganda center and legalizing snitching (pledge of loyalty), and those kept me from getting the morally good ending (I got the morally okay ending instead). Deciding whether to budge on morality was just as hard, if not harder than, the strategic decisions. I am amazed that I managed to make any morally good choices at all. Since playing, I have spent a lot of time thinking about the moral implications of my decisions. I realized that enacting both the propaganda center and snitching laws didn't feel bad because both are already a thing in my own country (albeit less sinister). I've been so normalized to them that I forget that an ideal society has a need for neither. Idealism is important because the lack of idealism only births a lower standard of idealism. All these moral implications make this game truly important.
- The final boss was absolutely stunning. First, the existence of a boss battle in a city builder is insane, but it works so well. The music that plays during the Great Storm is perfect, and the entire week makes for a wonderful adrenaline-filled conclusion.
- The music as a whole was fantastic, and the art style was beyond amazing. It really didn't feel like an indie game.
- Cutscenes were great! They were short, they were infrequent, and they added a lot to the experience. There was not a wasted second.
- Since this playthrough, I've been playing the other scenarios on harder difficulties in my free time. They've been a ton of fun and only added to my enjoyment. The main campaign was worth the price of admission alone, as the 5-12 hour runtime is more fulfilling than even 40 hours of other games. The additional free content is just the cherry on top.
What I didn't like:
-
Overall rating: 10/10 (Flawless)
Here are the plans for the future of the game: I will do a blind playthrough of The Last Autumn DLC around the time Frostpunk 2 reaches maximum pre-release hype. That playthrough should lead directly into Frostpunk 2's release, which I am unbelievably excited to make a series of. See you then! In the meantime, be sure to check out my Playlist of Playlists for more series that are just as thrilling! For another dramatic experience, I recommend Inscryption: th-cam.com/play/PLIwiAebpd5CKixzVYL4X4ZuPqiok-tfLG.html
Looks like I’ll finally be purchasing last autumn so I don’t spoil myself watching your playthrough!
Nice, another 10/10
EYYYY new Frostpunk series from Tyler!!!
Oh my GOD, A FLAWLESS RATING!!! also, Tyler there are a lot of people who support this series and we are very excited for Frostpunk 2 (especially your series) and were soo EXCITED!
Wow, I'm a relatively new sub to Tyler and this is the first game I've ever seen him give a 10/10. It really deserved it though!
I'd like to think that everyone just instantly dies of heatstroke as soon as the temperature lifts because of all the excessive heating lmao
LOL
Nah man, I'd think they be like "holy shit bro yo it's actually *hot* do u believe this?!"
Yeah i though the same when temp rise lol
The heat rises 200 degrees and all throughout the city people are being boiled alive by the steam vents in their house
part 2: global warming
I would love to see you tackle The Fall of Winterhome scenario. It has the perfect blend of "What the hell?", "How did this happen?", and "How am I supposed to fix this?".
According to the pin he's played the other scenarios already as this was prerecorded. He hasn't played through the Last Autumn and will be saving that for right before frostpunk 2 releases tho
@@lordofthepies I’m well aware he’s already played through it, I would just love to see how he tackled its challenges.
@@lordofthepies I'd love to see a video on the Last Autumn, don't have the DLC and tyler commentary would go along great.
Yes I would love this
Well bud, i have good news for you
It’s always worth staying up late to watch both the frostpunk and vampire survivors videos
You know a game is good when Tyler’s review of the game ends with “Things I didn’t like: -“
Yes! Was hoping for more of this series tonight. I always stay up late to watch your new videos. You've easily become my favorite content creator over the past few years.
If ever I saw a youtube comment which I can 105% relate to in every way, this'd be it.
@@RazzBeri1 At first I would have agreed. But then again, your comment is also just as relatable.
Agree, I want to see more of this
weeeee neeeeeed mooooore...
pls make more play thrus
I’m gonna miss this series I hope there is updates/dlc added in the future
The game has been out for a couple years, and multiple DLC have been added.
Well, good news, then. Aside from replay value due to higher difficulties/alternate decisions (which aren't very yourube friendly due to being mostly the same thing), there are three additional scenarios that are shorter, but involve unique challenges (such as buildings that cannot fall below chilly temperature or you lose, or starting with a failing city and needing to fix it fast). There is also an endless mode, two extra DLC scenarios, and a sequel on the way. Plenty of content for the channel should he decide to make it (some of which he already decided to make)
@@austinish The Last Autumn and On the Edge are the two major scenarios, The first puts you just before the snowfall and you have to build your own generator, and then survive with the generator that YOU built. On the Edge has you as a New London outpost after the great storm passes, so you get to enjoy living without a generator of your own.
@@DrRussian Those are the DLC scenarios, right? I dont have the DLC myself, which is why I didn't give any details about them (don't know any details to give)
Next game was announced and is to be released soonish
28 people : Died
Hope : Skyrockets 🚀
A noble sacrifice can be an inspiration.
One of the most well created games I have ever seen, perfect blend of literally everything
At the end it got stupid cold yet it was only about half of absolute zero
@@lightspeednerd6467
technically it was infinitely close to absolute zero compared to the maximum temperature
the timelaps at the end was a nice touch the game looks very nice
12:50 gotta love that human spirit. It's -166 degrees out and yet people can still muster up enough strength to murder each other. Truly brings a tear to my eye.
Peak humanity. Surviving a cold never seen before on this planet, but not each other
Top 5 all time game on this channel. I honestly waited like a 4 days to watch the first episode because I thought it didn't look super entertaining and was kinda confusing if I wasn't putting much of my attention into it. Once I watched the first couple episodes though I found it to really have me involved with the story even just watching you play. I'm so excited for number 2 and the DLC but if you want to make a video on this game beforehand I think many of us would love it
Same but when I started I immediately binged
Almost didn't make it to the new upload without falling asleep 😴 sorta tired but it's worth it to watch you absolutely amazing videos!
have you heard of lights? there pretty useful
@@diamondapocalypse5019 my lights are on but staying up to 12:30 everynight when I have to get up for work at 5:30 is kinda tough. Worth it tho
"We've Gone too far" is actually the "bad end" for this game. Should have gone faith for an easier approach to the good end. It honestly shocked me that you went through so much of the game with no gathering posts. Those are some of the first structures wou should set down!
I managed to do an order good end. I was so proud of myself lmao. I didn't even pick foremen, the furfest I went in order was morning gathering/guard towers. I knew from my first playthrough that you could get bad endings, but I actually only got the neutral ending where you don't cross the line. It's a fucking amazing game and I cannot wait for the second game.
@@LulfsBloodbag iirc you can get the best ending (golden path) with either purpose law. It's just no faith keepers, no prisons, no propaganda, no prostitution etc and no endpoint laws signed like new order or public penance. Foremen are fine I believe. It's somewhat harder for order because it's more about managing discontent than raising hope so Londoners can be an issue, but perfectly doable
Wow, this game was just stunning. Everything sharp change kept me on my seat for every upload and instantly become one of my favorite series of yours. Absolutely can’t wait for the sequel and the dlc to show up here.
This series has been absolutely amazing! I can't get enough of these videos!
I've been looking forward for the Frostpunk videos every day, this was such a great game!
YES
just finished a video, then saw this with "2 minutes ago"
was like "MUST WATCH, NOW!!!"
this is my current favorite series in YT
time to see if you make it
This, THIS is brutal
you have made it further then anyone else i watched...
lets see if you make it! typing this as you reach the -3 drop
excited to see if you live!
YEAAAA
BIG GGs TO YOU DUDE
you MADE IT!!!
CONGRATS!
That ending was so cool, I like the text and how it rhymes with the music and stuff.
Amazing series. Would love to see you play more.
Storm starts
"I researched Houses guys"
- Oh no.
"Lets see. I have enough Medic Posts"
- OH no.
"I do not have the wall drill yet so there is literally no wood around"
- OH NO!
Looking back at this video and see all of this, you can kind of see right away that something has gone seriously wrong along the way.
This is the greatest series i have ever watched! The end was especially "heart warming"!
humor
Binged almost the entire series and haven't been so enthralled by a series in so long. Can't wait to see more!
amazing series tyler! I can't wait for more!!!
I tried this game before myself, but you made the game so much more enjoyable to watch.
I cant wait to see more of this series in the future!
This game was awesome! Such a fun ride
Not even gonna lie, this has been my favorite series on your channel. So good my man. Keep it up!
I'm really glad you decided to pursue this series. I had my doubts at first, but I have really enjoyed this series so far!
Always happy to stay up for a while to get to the upload
Whew. Talk about being on the edge of my seat. Super glad you shouted out this series in that episode of vampire survivors, I may have never checked it out.
Hope to see you play more of this game in the future. Was on the edge of my seat the whole time!
God, watching you play this was just as intense as playing it myself
This game is amazing, whenever I start a run I can't stop until I reach the end or fall asleep from exhaustion lmao
This series was so great!! I hope you mess around with it more in the future!
Dude what a game. The music added so much to it and the story is pronominal, truly an experience!!
this was one of the best most stressful serieses in a while, this is exactly whta i want to see
Just binged this series from the Vampire survivors video. I gotta say, the long form series content is harder to keep up with these days, but it is definitely worth it. That was an experience I do not regret, even if I ruined my sleep schedule again.
Genuinely had my heart rate at like triple my resting. That was amazing! Nice work Tyler on that clutch!
Brilliant series don’t stop!!!
one of the best series of your channel for sure
very first thing: "So I researched houses."
Called it. XD
tbh best city builder i ever saw or played. It has a great story great grafics its just awesome and just watching one of my favourite content creators plauing it is just the perfect combination. Keep up the amazing work
Oh yeah I was so excited for this!
Nice!!!!! This series is awesome!!
This was one of the best series in a while, good stuff
I would love more of this series, I'll never get tired of it.
I hope you continue the series! I'd love to see you play through those other storylines as well.
yayy finally you posted the frostpunk video, been waiting for this!!
Bit late to the party here but this has legit been one of my favourite series on youtube, I don't think I was bored or disengaged for even a single second which is something that almost nothing else can boast. Thank you for this.
Picked this series up because you suggested it in the Vampire Survivors episode. Purchased the game after 15 watching the 1st episode for 15 minutes. And I have to agree, this is the greatest narrative storytelling I've ever seen. I have no idea how you managed to survive the final storm with no outposts and no houses to begin with. Thank you so much again for suggesting this series. Hope to see Frostpunk 2 as well!
Most intense game I ever played. And the music.
That was phenomenal! Such a good game, such a good playthrough
i’d love to see more of this game. very entertaining and great to watch how u overcome obstacles
Just finished this video. What a great end to such an amazing game! Very excited for the DLC playthrough and Frostpunk 2!
This has been my favorite series to watch since baba is you. I never heard of this game before watching and everything you said in the pinned comments is so true. Loved this series and now im going to go do my own playthrough. Thank you tyler
This was one of the best series you’ve done since a monsters expedition
What an amazing game! I really enjoyed watching this playthrough. It's such a cinematic game, truly impressive.
A cinematic city builder at that 🤯
Love binging this vids man, i want more of it
YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Great game Overseerer. Congrats on surviving your first storm. May your live be warmer, btw, have you considered the other scenarios. Last Autum puts the game on its head and winter home pushes you to the breaking point at the start. ,
Gosh, you were so unprepared for the storm, but you still made it through, good job 👍
I purchased the game after watching your other episodes and some of the videos another creator did. While I went in with some advance knowledge, it was still very satisfying. I wound up doing the entire first scenario in 1 5 hour sitting. I didn't find it overly challenging, but that is mostly because I had seen a lot of how things worked in the game and I went hard on resource collection and heat. By the time the storm rolled in I had automations doing most of the work in my city so my population could sit in their comfy homes, didn't even turn on overdrive until the last drop. I look forward to the challenge of endless mode.
i would love to see endless mode. this game is sick
I loved this series, but at 25 minutes I always wanted more. However I was always excited at the next one. Great story line.
I love your videos and I really really enjoyed this series and was extremely hyped for it! I definitely agree with your rating of the game it's so good ! And I want to watch more of it. Thank you!
I'm very glad this series got enough viewership for it to continue.
At first I did not like watching this because everything is hard to look at on a small phone, which is where I do most of my youtube watching, but after I started watching I realized that the tiny details are not super important, and I don't need to read each of the tiny little numbers on the screen to tell what's going on. After getting over that hurdle, I enjoyed this series greatly. Looking forward to more!
I love to see you play this game and would love to see more of it
PLEASE!
We need more of this game!
I would simply love that you continued playing this game either on scenarios or endless Mode. It's a los a fun
A game you might enjoy is They Are Billions. It’s a game that is about a zombie apocalypse and you have to lead a city and expand to make yourself stronger as the waves get bigger. A play through would probably be about the same length as one of these play throughs though.
He already played it on the channel
Upset its over keep up the good work
Believe me or not, i cried when everyone survived! I hope you continue play the series!
PLEASE DO MORE I LOVED THIS!
sorry for all caps it was just really good!
Glad you loved the game :D i love it too :D with your playthrough ofc.. there arent many like yours :) kinda shame to wait for the dlc (since we dont even know when frostpunk 2 comes) but knowing you will play it put me at ease :D it will be worth the wait :))
OMG YES!!!!!!! Woww this is so AAMZING!!! How do you cope with this??? My brain would just nothing. Frostpunk 2 will be such a banger!
Love this series
What an incredible series
21:50 "and with the winter darkness that hovered over us the heavens opened up breaking shining through the sky with beautiful rays of light ending the ungodly nightmare that tried to claim our lives by the grace of the heavens we lived we lived and jumped with joy it was the father that came to our add with his warriors freeing us from this hell we lived to tell the great winter story for generations to come" *unstoppable by sia plays*
that was an awesome ride.. loved every second of it
So happy you gave this game a go. Did a whole lot better than I did on my first playthrough of it xD
I love a new blind play through of Frostpunk. A shame we didn’t get your blind play through of the other DLC but this was still fantastic. Thanks for sharing it!
Does this fall under your top 10 games, or maybe even top 5? Seeing you play this was absolutely astounding, and I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat as well, which isn’t very common for almost games these days. I can’t wait to see your frostpunk 2 play through, it’s gonna be insane.
Top 3
@@Aliensrock wow, I’m so glad this game could be that great for you, it really is such a unique game and it’s almost like it’s made especially for you.
@@Aliensrock Glad you think so! This was absolutely my favorite series to watch, it's not even close.
Haven't been this happy for a series since "The Witness"
Dope series.
Of all the series you are currently doing, this is my favorite. I totally want to see more of this, endless or even the other game modes. It is so interesting and I will definitely watch the second game as you play it.
I love this series
This was one of my favorite series
I really hope you play more of this.
what a good game. I think frostpunk 2 will be exciting to watch here!
Please do more, despite it being a bit different then other games you play I loved the series
Damn, I really missed out before. That finale was really intense, even as a viewer, def gonna get that game myself.
Man I can't wait for the next two series after this.
This is peak kino in a form of a video game.
i love this series please play more and upload more!!
Yess counted down to the upload, you should keep this schedule it is like exactly 8 am here lol
10:23 Hell has frozen over… XD
Definitely want to see the next scenario!
I absolutely loved this game I think it was awesome
Im ready for frost punk 2, this was a very nice series to watch
"against all odds and death only heroes dare to stand and fight" 8:10
Can’t wait for Frostpunk 2. I loved this series and I hope you do the dlcs
