Frostpunk was an amazing game, but I honestly don't know that I ever want to play the sequel. The first one was so stressful. It was the game equivalent of Requiem for a Dream, ie the best game I never want to play again.

Worse (at least back then), the replayability plummeted a lot. Once the fear was gone, you played a couple times to see all the branches and min-max a bit. Once you did an extreme deathless run, it was as solved-problem as any puzzler (which in a way, it was).

I'm curious what a sequel would look like. If it's a totally different puzzle to work out, it might be interesting.

From the images, though, it looks like it might be a bit more seamless an experience, where expanding beyond the initial burner is possible. That could change everything.

Same. I remember beating the game and then finding out that there are multiple campaign missions. And I was like "no thanks, once is enough"

Definitely sounds like an interesting update to the game

So excited. I knew the mechanics would be different, but this almost seems like a whole different game.

Population of 20,000? Time is in weeks, not hours? People vote?
