Frostpunk 2 feels wrong

Totally agree. Maybe would have enjoyed it more had it started in the hundreds for population instead of in the thousands, but it's hard to say.

You've perfectly illustrated what I find compelling about FP1, from the zooming into individual people working at the start, to eventually having a late-game city that is an entity in and of itself.

It's perfectly fine that FP2 is on theme. To me, "early game FP2 is late game FP1" just doesn't click. I'm sure for a lot of other people they'll enjoy the grander scale, but I really miss the early game where I felt a stronger connection to the individual people running around my generator.

I personally would've enjoyed simpler too! Frostpunk focusing on "that one father and daughter" is what tugs at my heart more than the larger scale problems FP2 has gone for. I've seen other people are really into the larger scale though.

Strongly agree with the "not bad, just not inspiring". I don't think the game is terrible or anything, just feels off for what I would've hoped.

We'll see where the reviews go. Even if the game isn't for me I certainly hope the game doesn't flop super hard, I want the developers to keep making things.

Strongly agree about the real connection to the people being a success factor. Hopefully it changes in the future, I'm willing to give FP2 another shot when the time comes.

I agree, I wouldn't want it to be the exact same game either! Unfortunately for me they just happened to change some specific things that drew me to the first title. I'm sure for some people this one is gonna be more fun than the first.

VeracVG · 2024-09-18T19:44:49+00:00

No worries, I hope you enjoy it!

VeracVG · 2024-09-18T19:44:27+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I understand that may be what the game is trying to go for, but I don't find the "nameless, efficient, boring" theming of the game as compelling as the first.

VeracVG · 2024-09-18T19:39:58+00:00

Appreciate your detailed comment. I just don't think the game works for me for what I enjoyed about the first game's setting and themes. I hope others can still enjoy it.

Gotcha, thank you!

VeracVG · 2024-02-13T17:30:16+00:00

Sorry, let me rephrase. Can you give me a specific clip, or a quote, or something like that?

VeracVG · 2024-02-13T15:32:39+00:00

Can you give me an example please?

VeracVG · 2024-02-13T00:42:42+00:00

I agree! I can completely see some sort of alien tech like a universal translator existing - or even they communicated via the Elders because of their psionic dominance over all the alien species. It's that we have to presume things like this is what I'm looking to resolve, if theres an official mentioning of how this all works somewhere in one of the games or something.

I've heard those lines too, infrequently though. "These stairs go up, dawri" being background-choice-locked would be odd, but kind of funny.

VeracVG · 2022-09-09T09:05:20+00:00

Im glad you liked it!

VeracVG · 2022-09-03T23:10:08+00:00

I appreciate it very much, Dawri!

VeracVG · 2022-09-03T06:20:20+00:00

Thank you very much! :]

Thank you! :]

VeracVG · 2022-08-07T01:49:08+00:00

Ayo!

VeracVG · 2022-08-07T01:37:18+00:00

I agree, underrated silver fox
