The sequel to a warmly-received economic strategy game by 11 bit studios. Frostpunk 2 is set thirty years after the first game. We play as the leader of a settlement trying to survive in a frozen world. This time we operate on a larger scale and rely on oil instead of coal.
Frostpunk 2 is a real-time strategy game made by Polish studio 11 bit, also responsible for the warmly received This War of Mine. It is a continuation of the game Frostpunk from 2018. The player once again takes on the role of the manager of New London, one of the last bastions of humanity after the frosty apocalypse.
The action of the sequel takes place in 1917, thirty years after the end of the first game. The world has been frozen in ice by an unexplained climatic catastrophe, forcing humanity to fight for survival. The few people left created cities and settlements around generators, huge structures that burn coal and produce heat. One of these cities was New London - a settlement that managed to survive resource shortages, human conflicts, and a cataclysm called the Great Storm.
After three decades New London became a prosperous city. Unfortunately, residents encounter a new problem. The raw material they have relied on for years – coal – is no longer sufficient to provide heat for the entire city. Hope lies in the underground oil deposits, which settlers are beginning to exploit. People's uncertainty about the potential of oil, frequent crimes, nomads camping on the outskirts of the city, and the approaching waves of frost cause social unrest and distrust towards the authorities. Our task is to alleviate this difficult situation, ensure the safety of the city's residents and prevent the government from being overthrown by angry citizens.
In terms of gameplay, Frostpunk 2 is an evolution of the original. The core remains the same, although the scale of the events presented has increased. We are dealing with a real-time strategy game in which we expand the city and take care of the needs of the citizens. Oil takes the place of coal, the extraction of which is our highest priority. If it runs out, the generator in the city center will shut down, and the residents will have no protection against the cold. We must construct mining outposts, buildings that produce food, hospitals that treat sick citizens, and houses where people can rest after a hard day's work.
Frostpunk 2, like its predecessor, places great emphasis on difficult moral choices. We will often have to abandon our morality in the name of survival. It is crucial to find a balance between pragmatism and idealism. Otherwise we will face the downfall of the city or their own rule. Our decisions have consequences and impact on the fate of New London. During the game, we interact with many factions, whose agendas mutually exclude each other. Depending on the group we support, the game plays out differently.
Similar to its predecessor, Frostpunk 2 only includes a single-player mode.
Piotr Musial is once again responsible for the soundtrack - his work is known from the first part of Frostpunk, This War of Mine and the expansion Blood and Wine for The Witcher 3.
Frostpunk 2 was made available on PC Game Pass upon the game's release on personal computers.

Frostpunk 2 is as lethal of a game as the original, but it accomplishes its objectives through different means. We will face not the frost, but politics, and the scale of construction exceeds the small town centered around the reactor.

Windows Central: 4.5 / 5 by Samuel Tolbert
Frostpunk 2 pushes the boundaries on what a city-building game and a survival experience can be, telling stories of human hope and despair in tandem. With beautiful visuals and a radically increased gameplay scope over its predecessor, only a handful of issues mar the ice.
New Game Network: 72 / 100 by Alex Varankou
Frostpunk 2 isn't afraid to shake things up and bring a different kind of experience to the franchise, although that new design philosophy leaves a bit more to be desired in mechanics, UI and narrative elements.
Eurogamer: 5 / 5 by Robert Purchese
A sequel that takes the thrilling cold-survival city-building heart of Frostpunk and evolves it in every way, while losing none of what made the series so special to begin with.
