Phenomenal twist on a classic genre.
Choices matter and the better games on the market take this into account for a more rewarding player experience. Frostpunk is certainly one of those games. Every choice you make impacts the future survival of your struggling colony. However, what at first was a small annoyance turned into a pretty remarkable experience. Namely, we don't know in advance a significant portion of the game dynamics. In most building and managment games (Civ, for example), we are given very clear metrics. We know exactly what needs to be accomplished in order to win, we can explore the different paths available, and develop a strategy from the onset in order to complete our objectives. Frostpunk throws all of this out the window. Unless you read some spoilers, when you are tossed into the frosty wilderness with your struggling band of followers, you really have no idea what needs to be accomplished. It is as true to life as can be accomplished in some aspects. Sure, gather up some resources because you'll need it to expand, but expansion itself turns out not to be the goal. Place some houses and industrial businesses, perhaps a heater here and there, send out some explorers. Can't be that difficult, right? One of the things I liked the most about this game was that my experiences forced me to change my strategy and regret some of my previous choices. Not unlike real life. We are not given a clear view into the future which adds a certain level of excitement and mystery. Any subsequent play-throughs will be conducted with a significantly different strategy because I now have prior knowledge. While there will certainly be enjoyment with repeat play, it is the initial session which shines for me. Wonderful game and well worth the price.
