Well, maybe it's my own fault for not doing enough research, but I was extremely hyped for the game, expecting something cool like Frostpunk 1 and now I'm honestly just as much disappointed as I was hyped before. The game has lost all of its uniqueness, the feeling and gameplay from the first one. The gameplay is completely generic now, with just some lame "build generic stuff using 300 workers somewhere on the map" elements, instead of the very, very personal feeling of the first one, where you cared for each citizen and put deep thoughts into the placement of your buildings. Related to the above, you now control cities with thousands of people. "Oh, two people are calling in sick? Well, it may hurt me in the long run, but I DON'T CARE" Also the society elements don't seem to be as interesting anymore. "Oh, people are threatening to leave? Well, I don't know them and I don't care about them, so just let them go". Keep playing Frostpunk 1, don't buy 2. Or play any other city builder that isn't as badly optimized as this game and fries your PC.
