I showed it to my teenager thinking it was too grim for him, he ended up loving the tough calls.

About Frostpunk
Frostpunk, the newest title from the creators of This War of Mine, is a society survival game where heat means life and every decision comes at a price. In an entirely frozen world, people develop steam-powered technology to oppose the overwhelming cold. You face the task of building the last city on Earth and securing the means necessary for your community to survive.
Optimization and resource management often clash with empathy and thoughtful decision-making. While city and society management will consume most of the ruler’s time, at some point exploration of the outside world is necessary to understand its history and present state.
ELO progression
Score moved from 1,500 to 1,808 ELO points over the last 170 days.

Un ado qui accroche aux dilemmes difficiles, ça confirme surtout que le jeu ne triche jamais avec son propos, il ne cherche pas à rassurer et c'est pour ça qu'il tient encore une bonne place.

Un ado qui adore les choix difficiles, ça dit quoi sur nous les adultes qui hésitons à le lancer ?

People keep pitting it against RimWorld like it's a fair fight, one gives you emergent chaos, the other gives you a scripted funeral march toward a single grim choice, both work, just not the same itch.

En serio crees que se estanca solo en la segunda mitad? A mí me pasó desde el primer escenario, qué hicieron distinto ustedes?

Yo llevo unas 60 horas repartidas en varias partidas y sigo sintiendo lo mismo cada final.

Y si el problema no es el juego sino la cantidad de veces que uno lo rejuega seguido? Yo lo dejé descansar meses y me volvió a atrapar igual.

Played it on PC, the interface for managing laws and buildings stays clean even when the city gets huge and things start falling apart fast. What stuck with me was how the cold itself becomes a UI element, you're always glancing at that temperature reading.

It as brutal as people say, and that alone should keep it near the top honestly.

Moi aussi ça a été brutal, brutal au point que j'ai arrêté deux fois avant de finir vraiment.

Never really grabbed me past the first city.
