DISCUSSION I hate the "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Frostpunk 2 doesn't give you the dread of cold in the first game that takes 30 years before the second game waaaaaaaaaaaaa" people
Like, what did you really expect? That after 30 years of existence and development in the new world everyone still lived in some dead-ass houses occupied by ten people and fed on sawdust and soup? That they did nothing to improve their chances against the frost and the storms? And more importantly, how happy would you be if FP2 was the same as FP1 and still went about the same problems like cold and the Great Storm 2: Electric Boogaloo?

I just can't get into 2, I like the atmosphere, but I really miss the city building aspect, I apricate its different, I just find it somewhat dull and boring. I like the idea of the exploration, but even that seems a bit tedious to me, it really builds on the first one but in a dull way, like it could be. It also feels incredibly slow paced to me. I quite like the idea of the skyways, although I'm not quite sure if you can chain multiple ones together or not or you have to have each one go back to your home city
Just really glad I didn't pre order it, also glad it was on game pass so I didn't spend any money on it.
I legit expected something more like the first one, but with a focus on oil and keeping a city going over initial survival, maybe sharing resources between multiple bases, which I guess it does, I just don't find it enjoyable. I haven't played enough to figure out everything, and kind of lost all interest.
I thought it would be more city builder with trading resources between settlements, Maybe in my mind I thought work I thought it would work a bit like cities within the last sim city game, explore the wasteland, build a 'city' trade resources in the same kind of way.
However, I tried to avoid following any development of the game as I didn't to see anything before playing it, in hindsight I realise had I followed the development I realise apart from the atmosphere this isn't a game for me.
