Summary It's one of them games that really keeps you on your toes. Not only do you have to manage the gathering of the vital resources but you also make the laws of the land such as allowing child labour and many others. The story unfolds as you discover other settlements and everything usually ends up with you having to make a crucial decision about life or death. Sometimes I had to deny survivors refuge in my city, we just could not spare the food or buildings, I once allowed 34 children to perish in the cold, I felt good :( The game ran fine but I did read that some slower systems are having a few frame drops so read the specs before you buy. It's a great City builder/Survival game that is well put together and a joy to play, well worth the £25.
1:42 "You are the last city on Earth and all you have is an old wonky generator to keep you warm . You have to supply it with coal. You have to build mines to get the coal" Newcastle Simulator. I see why Mac likes it. :D
This game is great. In every other city builder, you were the wanker playing around with the people. Here you were the person with the impossible task trying of keep humanity alive. It isn't goofy fun it actually hits marrow deep.
This is so funny cause I apparently watched this a yr ago but just now I went to like the comment and realized I already like it. LMAO that just made my night.
Damn Mack you have great timing. Just seen this on steam and was wondering if it was worth a buy. Thanks for vid. Im glad I became a patreon today to you are def worth it.
Initially I got this during a Steam sale (how appropriate), and figured it'd be a fun, little casual city builder with pretty visuals. 8 hours later, I realized 11 Bit was dead serious. This is not a game I can just play for a few minutes at a time. When I finally got to The Storm, I was micromanaging every free worker who came out of the infirmaries and on the edge of my seat looking at the razor margin of coal production to expenditure. It's intense.
For those not knowing, try "This War of mine" as well, coming from this developer. Another atmospheric masterpiece. Been waiting for Frostpunk for months now and I have been playing since launch. I have not finished the first mission on normal because of the following reasons: 1. I get banished or 2. I am not satisfied with how the city is late game. It's hard to balance resources/people/ and the temptation to restart the game is HIGH! :). This game is not easy.
Try Banished. It's somewhat of a spiritual successor to this game, but with no research, an endless mode, changing seasons, harder difficulty, larger maps, no real story and much lower hardware requirements. Great game, I enjoyed it a lot, but it's a very different beast than Frostpunk. Banished is a slow burn of dread, Frostpunk on the other hand is a quick, dynamic experience that keeps you glued to the screen. During one session of Banished, I had a wonderfully working little settlement, every kid was at school, farms and orchards were producing more food than my people could eat, trade was flourishing, I even had some livestock. Then the storm came, tornadoes. They destroyed the orchards and most fields, killed the animals, destroyed every last bit of food, tools and clothing I had in storage buildings - and they hit the school, killing every single child in town. People were homeless, childless, had no food, no tools, no source of food. What saved me was one tiny detail: Just before the storm came, I had transferred a large amount of fruits from the orchards to the trade post. That's the one place that survived and this fruit fed the survivors, allowing them to carry on. Winters were merciless without clothes, work was slow without tools, it took years until food production was going again and slowly, the settlement recovered. It never reached its old numbers again however, its previous wealth. An entire generation had been wiped out, people grew old and died while few kids were born. The village soldiered on, but it stagnated, barely got by. I did however manage to keep almost everyone who survived the storm alive until they died of old age, that's what I'm most proud of.
I've been watching this game in development for a while and I got it on launch day and it so feels like a game that would of been made during the C&C and AOE days. Awesome game and an honest review. Thanks as always Mack!
I sent children back to the city from the cave they where hiding in without supervision, cause i thought i need the scouts to carry on, but there wasnt anything to be found after that, i didnt know that the store storm was that harsh and it came shortly after i send the children back and they had no chance of arriving in the city in time. That really got to me.
You're so right about the dearth quality singleplayer games. It's really a bummer when I get home from work, and sit down, and think "my mates aren't online, what the fuck am I going to play?" I really need Vampyr to come out
I beat it my first try with 600+ people. Went full on religious at the end, though I didn't need to, its pretty easy to spam religious building's special abilities to take care of public opinion. The thing that got me was it didn't tell you you couldn't produce food during the storm. I figured hunters might not be able to range, but your steam powered green houses totally shouldn't have stopped working for no reason. It didn't matter in the end though, my people survived without any food for like 6/7 days straight. It was kinda stupid, I was waiting for a cannibalism choice, but it never came to that. My city survived with 500 people starving and 300 sick, but it never really went over the edge to massive death I thought it would have. I didn't have a single death in the storm thanks to 100% housing, it was almost too easy! Sorry for the gameplay recap, I just finished and am pretty excited...
Played this game and definitely agree. Play hours are limited but the game has a certain quality and detail to it which I absolutely loved. Besides you can try different approaches and different difficulties. Would have like if they had some sort of randomiser that offered generated objectives/map layouts/etc. Personally I would have loved a little bit of combat in the mix as well. Still, good game.
Just got this game at a discount on Steam and it's just great! It's super unique and it's tuned in a way to keep you always thinking...it's like being on the verge of "I got this-NO I MIGHT HAVE NOT GOT IT ACTUALLY"
It's not the hardest city builder(although survivor difficulty can be really tough) and not the most complex one either but it's really polished. I love me some game with crisp UI/sound design
If there is anyone out there still in doubt.. take it from me, this game is brilliant. Every decision has a consequence and it can get incredibly gripping! Worth a buy!
I just bought it on Steam, cant wait until it finishes downloading and start playing! Man, mack, you are great, your review truly made me buy this game, thank you for this awesome review.
I gotta replay this. I actually survived the storm on my first try with only 45 dead (of 472 population, volunteers btw...), and didn't build a single automaton. Need to try all the other routes of play! Such an amazing game tbh, best I've played in years even!
I love the idea of these games but the reality for me ,is I get that excited about watching the animations on something I have built that i forget to do the important things and everyone dies ,as a retro review i bought gothic 1,2 and 3 the other day and i am playing through Gothic 1 now ,for when it was made it's quite impressive and could be worth a buy maybe ?
Hey you crazy dude with the cool english accent! I watch your content mostly on my mobile on the way to work and i realy realy realy like that you dont put ads every 3 minutes in your video! I hate that and watch these videos on my pc with adblock on so please keep it like this ;-) sincerly a swiss guy Edit: and keep up the good honest reviews! Its rare these days to have content like yours that is just on spot with the video title
It's so gripping and intense. I loved Banished too, but I'll take this shorter and story driven style of game over endless builders any time nowadays. And for those who don't there are plenty of those builders out there. The graphics are relatively speaking quite demanding though, so don't expect to enjoy this on a non-gaming machine.
@Worth A Buy Mack thanks for your insight on the game! I choosed to give the priority to battletech because i read about Frostpunk scenarios with fixed endings (don't want to spoil to others but i read that the day X they end) so i went for the long content road. After playing it do you think it has the potential to add a sandbox/endless mode?
I was waiting for this review, although I have to admit, this is one time I broke my "I Do No Pre-Order" idea and I bought it a day or two before release, based on your early look at it, and just as important, I trusted the devs to get it right.
Already bought the game and got an adreneline rush on the great storm phase.. still waiting for your review.. thinking you'll like it before i see the video.
I think it is a great game and I do recommend it to people , however there was 2 points I was hoping for you to mention on your review : * since release there was a bug with the outpost that sends 'Cores' ... as much as I know this bug wasn't fixed even after a few patches - really bothered me when I played the game. * The replay-ability is very limited on this game. Yes the details and story on what is available is terrific 9/10 but replay-ability is around 5/10 because after you bit the scenarios ... that's it game is done. Now they are about to release the unlimited mods which would boost the replay-ability to 7/10 ... for me to reach the higher scores on this scales you need multiplayer - which doesn't seem to be arriving in anytime in the future. Otherwise the attention for details , accessibility, UI, design , visuals , gameplay, sounds, voices and about everything else in this game is increadible !
hey there WORTH A BUY my friend overseas :) I think you are British? I don't want to offend you if you are not. but I really LOVE your game reviews. You make them funny, straight forward and I have just learned to trust your judgement. I don't buy ANY games unless I see you review it first. Thanks for taking the time to do these reviews! I really appreciate it. In past I would buy so many lemons ugh but not anymore with YOU on GUARD!
Fantastic game! Definitely worth a buy. I've recently bought a lot of games that bore me after an hour. This game sucked me in and I can't wait to play it again.
Same eerie feel to it. I didn't even read about it before playing and the first thing i thought was - "Damn this is in some ways similar to this war of mine".
As the others said, it's a very different game but very similar, dark, grim situation where every single day feels like it could genuinely be the last for your people. You have to make very hard decisions at times which the people may hate you for, but ultimately you may not have any choice to avoid certain doom. I've played through all 3 of the currently available campaigns and loved them to bits. There's a 4th campaign still being developed, and as far as I'm aware it's at no additional cost. Very good value game and one you don't want to miss, especially if you enjoyed This War of Mine.
Those damn Londoners always stirring the pot! The thing that makes no sense in this game is as you research stuff the consumption is doubled each time you use it. For example if you are researching the heating upgrade the consumption for using it becomes twice what it was when you were using Steam level 1. Isn't researching stuff supposed to make it more efficient rather than wiping you out?
What irritates me is that the game judges you no matter what you do. For example I was playing on medium difficulty and put children to work only safe jobs, employed them at cook houses exclusively, didn’t go the faith route but the order route. And I was strict but fair, gave days off to workers, tried to be benevolent on the whole. In the end when about 600 people survived the game gave me the same judging montage that I got playing on hard difficulty when about 350 survived and employed kids on all jobs. But hard difficulty really tests your drive to survive at all costs and medium is just lax working hours. But still the game chooses to judge you - it’s like that was the developers’ goal to judge the player irrespective of how hard he was on the population.
This is what the British thought would happen when it started snowing in England
Haha
Ahh British and England. Foreigners eh?
of course I'm foreign, I wouldn't be finding it funny otherwise
The English are from England, the British are from England, Scotland, Irland, Wales and maybe even The Isle Of Man... if you count them as people.
Too right, Vmkkith!
Also, as an Englishman - no, I do not count the Welsh, Scottish, Irish or The Manx as "people", GECK ;P

looks awesome I've been saving my money for a while and all I bought was valiant hearts this might be my next game after finish valiant hearts
What a pleasant surprise.
This game was totally not what I thought it was.
Thanks Mack.
Thanks for the review Mack, managed to pick this up through Green Man for just under £20 with their spring sale code. Nice one 😀

Snow piercer was a good movie
no1DdC Woaaaaa.. After reading your comment I only have one thing to say: "In 2 seconds I'm going to check out Banished" :D
I've been watching this game in development for a while and I got it on launch day and it so feels like a game that would of been made during the C&C and AOE days. Awesome game and an honest review. Thanks as always Mack!
this seems like a city building game version of the scenario in the movie ''snowpiercer'' which is great
1:17 sounds just like "In a Heartbeat" from the 28 Days Later OST
28 Weeks later, and yep that's it or a version of it rather.
love this guy
When it's winter and your pc is running at 80° degrees FrostPunk
That soundtrack reminds me a lot to "In the house, in a heartbeat" from 28days later ost.
that intro song is basically the 28days later theme song
I sent children back to the city from the cave they where hiding in without supervision, cause i thought i need the scouts to carry on, but there wasnt anything to be found after that, i didnt know that the store storm was that harsh and it came shortly after i send the children back and they had no chance of arriving in the city in time.
That really got to me.
I always love the satisfaction of end game in Frostpunk just seeing this colossal city self sustaining itself is a joy.
The final push for survival is really exciting..
Better concept than most in its genre.
You're so right about the dearth quality singleplayer games. It's really a bummer when I get home from work, and sit down, and think "my mates aren't online, what the fuck am I going to play?"
I really need Vampyr to come out
I did not expect to laugh. They way you describe the uprising is just hilarious

is this game repayable ?
like can i sink in hundreds of hours, or do i see mostly everything in first go `= ?
Here I am again watching your review 2 days after I got the game!
Reminds of Surviving Mars. The only "enemy" is how inhospitable the environment is to your very existance. I'm in!
This is one on my wishlist. Glad the temptation is worth buying.
Just got this game at a discount on Steam and it's just great! It's super unique and it's tuned in a way to keep you always thinking...it's like being on the verge of "I got this-NO I MIGHT HAVE NOT GOT IT ACTUALLY"

"Ixion Review - Find a new home for humanity."
It looks a cool game :)
Winter is coming!
I just bought it on Steam, cant wait until it finishes downloading and start playing! Man, mack, you are great, your review truly made me buy this game, thank you for this awesome review.
That generator looks like it wastes a lot of heat
Anything straight coal fueled does... why do you think steam power developed from that? That's why it's called Frost Punk, there is no steam here. XD
"First we put our children to work", "Parents lost their children" haha XD 8:47
I gotta replay this. I actually survived the storm on my first try with only 45 dead (of 472 population, volunteers btw...), and didn't build a single automaton. Need to try all the other routes of play!
Such an amazing game tbh, best I've played in years even!
Of course a person from Newcastle would love a game about coal.
