Set 30 or so years after the events of the first game, Frostpunk 2 picks up immediately after the death of The Captain, the player’s original avatar. Players take control of a successor whose job is to scrape together whatever’s left after years of Whiteouts. The survivors have not fared any better since the initial freeze as they find themselves at another set of crossroads."
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Games can challenge you in many ways, from your reflexes, to your precision, or your ability to remember random information, but Strategy games are all about just that: planning and strategic thinking. That comes in many forms, from turn-based to real-time, and 2D to 3D, and it's probably the genre that blurs those lines the most. This year's nominees reflect that: classic RTS' are represented by Age of Mythology: Retold; the tactical RPG genre by Unicorn Overlord; turn-based, city-builder survival games by Frostpunk 2; and then age old card games are represented with a twist by surprise hit Balatro."

Frostpunk 2 is a game that perfectly embodies its themes, and I'm eager to keep exploring its world.
