Fallout meets Cities: Skylines in brutal new game

This post-apocalyptic survival game is a great choice for these cold January evenings, and is like Fallout and Cities: Skylines had a baby.

Contrary to popular belief the days and nights are coldest in January and February, though in Frostpunk 2 it’s cold all year around.

We’ve reviewed The Last Of Us Part II Remastered! Check out our thoughts below

Frostpunk 2 is a city-survival game on Steam, and is set around 30 years after a cataclysmic event turned the Earth into a freezing cold wasteland. It’s basically the opposite of Fallout, which left the world scorching hot, so much so that you’d almost wish for a nuclear winter to roll around.

It’s also incredibly similar to Cities: Skylines, though instead of building up your settlement into a mighty metropolis your main priority will be just keeping everyone alive.

As you can imagine the resources are scarce but there are plenty of mouths to feed, and the chilly weather isn’t doing anyone any good either. While you’ll be sinking plenty of time into advancing your settlement's technology and, hopefully, finding solutions to the crisis, you’ll also have to keep several factions at bay.

It’s a stressful situation and everyone wants a crack at being the leader, so plenty of groups will rise up to resist the changes you're implementing in the hopes they could swing things in their favour. Whether you stamp out the rebellion by force or aim for more diplomatic options is up to you.

Frostpunk 2 is seemingly a good twist on the city-building genre, adding a bit more depth than just where you want to stick your houses and how you’re going to power them.

Unfortunately you can’t play it yet as we’re still awaiting an official launch. To add insult to injury there’s no specific launch date to go off aside from a vague “2024” release window. That being said, it's one to add to your wishlist, as it looks like it’ll be good fun when it’s available.
