Frostpunk Reviews
It seems odd to apply the word “fun” to a game so grim, but like life in extreme circumstances, Frostpunk finds a way.
Frostpunk is not the usual city builder, but it is a game that pushes the player to its moral limit.

Frostpunk is a unique strategy game that offers both an engaging and addicting element.
Frostpunk aspires to be something more than just a city builder game with survival elements. Some of its ideas work, but widely advertised moral choices are overrated. Fortunately the gameplay defends itself.

This grim and stressful city-building survival management game is well worth your time.
Frostpunk is a very good management game. Intelligent, dark and mature, its major flaw is its lack of replay value and the lack of impact of moral choices. Despite that, it's clearly a must have for all management/survival games lovers.

11 Bit Studios have done marvellous work on evoking the symbolism of the engine giving life.
Frostpunk can be overhelming and would benefit from a longer tutorial, so it’s understandable if those new to the genre find it too tricky. But a well-conceived narrative and premise makes it worth picking up whether you’re new to the genre, or have years of city-building experience behind you.
At its best, Frostpunk provides a tense, nail-biting experience like few others in the genre. It's not about building an empire, or creating a beautiful cityscape, but simply doing what you need to do to guide your people through what at first seems like insurmountable adversity. There's a few niggling issues, but the feeling you get from surviving the campaign is one of utter, unbridled joy, and it's that feeling more than any other why we have absolutely no qualms about recommending Frostpunk to you.
I thought I'd pretty much seen everything in the strategy gene and I'm delighted to say Frostpunk while hard and unforgiving is rewarding and a breathe of fresh frozen air to of the strategy genre, with and great story. Underneath the cold harsh tone, difficulty, and slightly tricky interface lie the warm beating heart of a strong and surprisingly deep game.
Frost Punk will test your city management skills to the max and keep you coming back for more.
The game does lose a bit of its luster after you beat the main scenario, but the two additional stories do put what you learned to the test. I'm eager to see what new situations 11 Bit Studios adds to the Frostpunk in the future, as the concept has a ton of untapped potential.
Frostpunk is an engrossing survival city builder that doesn't shun away from requiring difficult decisions on the player's part.
Frostpunk is another great game from the talented over at 11 Bit Studio teams, which with only a few fixes and more content could become one of the best strategy and simulation game of the decade.
After This War of Mine and its expansion, 11bit studios has done it again. Great attention to details, multiple choice options and artistic and technical design are the reasons that make Frostpunk a truly joyful experience for people who seek a truly different city builder.

In order to survive, some tough choices need to be made to keep people warm in this frozen hell. Frostpunk is challenging, atmospheric and leaves you feeling judged a few times as you try to keep humanity alive, but not so much that you don't get up and try again.
While not without some faults and limitations, Frostpunk is an often harrowing parable on society that makes you the monster without you even realising it.
Another amazing game from developers of This War of Mine. Beautiful story, challenging decisions, unique art style, variant gameplay mechanics and deep survival elements, made Frostpunk one of the best survival game of this generation and a must-have game for fans of deep dark challenging survival games. Don't miss it!

Frostpunk is a compelling experience with a smart and interesting take on the genre that might not have the emotional punch you were looking for.
Frostpunk is a brutal city-builder that shines thanks to difficult choices, an original world and engaging gameplay.
