The three additions collected together to the poop are a solid expansion of the Frostpunk universe. Only the price for each of them can stop the desire to buy, but new players in the topic is offered a complete edition of the game easier to swallow for the wallet.

Frostpunk is a great addition to the genre and console players might want to finally know what all the fuzz was about.

Frostpunk is one of the best strategy videogames of not only the recent years but maybe all times and now that the whole package is on consoles, it is a great time to experience this hellish ice storm.

Frostpunk is quite simply one of the best city-building experiences on the PlayStation 4 with a highly detailed narrative written for four huge campaigns. The sadness in there only being four campaigns is a true testament to the team at 11 Bit Studios, as they have crafted such a memorable experience, with gut-wrenching decisions at every turn. The savagery of the game can have long-lasting effects that can carry into the subsequent play-throughs, as the memories of what arose from making previous decisions can sway future decisions down other pathways. For those who wish to experience a more laid-back 'Sim City' like experience, then this title may not be the right title to jump into. However after experiencing this, it will be easy to feel anxious to see whatever the team behind it has in store next.

Frostpunk isn't for everyone, but if you're into hardcore strategy games, there's no reason you won't love the console version as well. The novel setting coupled with the interesting game mechanics will keep you entertained for quite a while.

Frostpunk is in a word awesome, it’s beautifully crafted, enticingly simple and wholly captivating. Words truly do not do the magnificence justice, buy it, play it, love it. Many hours are going to be lost, my children’s names will fade from my mind as I plan my next move. Frostpunk is a city-building game fan’s delight. 11 Bit Studios need to go out and have one hell of a celebration unless that hell freezes over of course. Frostpunk romps it’s way to an easy Thumb Culture Platinum award.

Frostpunk is, without a doubt, not an easy game and requires extensive strategizing and multiple playthroughs to succeed.

The console version of the Frostpunk game has no shortage of its own PC versions, bringing the same complete package to the consoles with great elegance. The new interface, along with the technical achievement and full content at a fair price, even encourages those who have experienced gaming on PCs to experience gaming on the console.

Frostpunk on consoles is as good as the PC version, and this definitely is a great news for everyone who loves strategy and survival games. Just don't expect it to be a regular city builder.

Frostpunk: Console Edition is a brutal game where every choice comes at a price.

Being in charge of a virtual city (and, I imagine, a real city) can be stressful, but rewarding. Take Cities: Skylines for example; there’s the pressure of keeping people happy, but the fun of constructing your own city and seeing it thrive. Now, add being situated in a frozen wasteland where people need warmth and food to survive. The pressure is significantly heightened, and this is what Frostpunk is all about.

The slower pacing and somewhat lacking early tutorials give Frostpunk a somewhat high barrier of entry. Do not go in thinking you will be successful right off of the bat. This is a challenging game with some uneven difficulty spikes that can feel punishing and even unfair at times, but the capability to rebound is almost always there, so long as you respond quickly and decisively. Frostpunk will not be for everyone, but fans of survival or city-building games really owe it to themselves to give this one a try now that it has made its way from PC to console.

The console version of Frostpunk is a unique experience not only for strategy fans but for anyone who is looking for something new and different. In Frustponk, you are not creating an empire or fighting your enemies like many other strategy games, you actually trying to survive against nature’s wrath.

Frostpunk is one of the best strategy games released in 2019 thus far. Console version of the game is nice, controls are properly implemented, easy to learn, but controling what's going on on the map with a game pad is difficult. The game plays great and looks amazing, but is missing keyboard and mouse controls, which is possible, but not implemented.

Frostpunk is like catching a city builder, like Maxis's famous Sim City but where our moral decisions can leave a trail of corpses along the way and ultimately fail means our end, or the end of the entire city. It is simply brilliant how moral decisions have been implemented with such great consequences in an almost innocent type of genre such as construction and city management, but 11 bit Studios has managed to do so, and in a very satisfactory way. Highly recommended.

Whether it's the setting and mature themes presented or the diverse and complex gameplay mechanics, Frostpunk sets an example on how strategy games should be. The immersion is so deep that it is difficult to realize the lost (but well invested) hours. It is a game that deserves your attention and it's absolutely worth of your time.

Frostpunk: Console Edition is a brutal yet highly satisfying survival city management game. At times, you'll agonize over your choices, heck, I couldn't get one in particular out of my mind, even after turning the game off. The console version feels excellent to play thanks to the highly thoughtful control mechanics that make use of every possible button efficiently. Be warned, opening the Xbox guide menu does not automatically pause the game.

Morally rousing mix of strategy and survival, which convinces with clever comfort functions and good menu navigation even on console.
