“Better times lie ahead,” resounds from the speakers at the end of the trailer. Normally encouraging words. But in the extremely difficult construction game Frostpunk 2, this sentence sounds rather cynical. Once again, the cold calls in the mix of construction and survival. You have to build a steampunk settlement in the middle of a hostile snow desert – in a merciless ice hell, it’s about nothing less than the fight for sheer survival. In our test (GameStar+), we gave the successor to the best strategy game of 2018 an 89 and judged: “Visually powerful survival construction mix to warm your hands.” Frostpunk 2 will be released on September 20, 2024 for the PC.
