>>2416791 mid doesn't really describe it aesthetically, i think it's great and for a while it's engaging but it suffers from >a severe lack of depth (anno supply chains would be a solution) >being essentially a puzzle game because there are so few choices >relying entirely on aesthetic choices in the laws tree most of which you don't even actually see so it's just larp and it's ok to make a game about larping but it's very linear
saw this get shilled really hard, sounded interesting so i downloaded it without checking the devs. had a fun time exploring the gameplay loop but a few hours in i go >wait a minute this feels familiar sure enough it was the frostpunk guys. god damn it i hope it's not too bad with the puzzlegaming and railroading. there is zero chance i'll consider starting another run if i get fucked over by some bullshit
I was actually very excited about Frostpunk back then, but it turned out that your citizens aren't actual entities. They don't move to work, to their house or the generator to keep warm. It's all just graphical slop, which has no connection to the gameplay. They might as well have placed a random 3D video over your entire town screen, because nothing that happens in your city actually changes the numbers. Only the buildings you place do.
>>2417213 >They don't move to work, to their house or the generator to keep warm They actually do. Try to build something far away and you will notice how slow they are. Time is weird in city building games.

There's an infamous part of the game where your Alters rebel against you, if they're unhappy with your decisions it makes sense but you can have the entire party content and happy with your decisions and they'll still plan to murder you in your sleep.
>>2420103 I don't think soup is actually that big of a deal breaker and also it's obviously a watery 19th century flophouse soup that's just stretching the same amount of calories into bigger volume to temporarily trick people into feeling full but they are malnourished in the long run.
>>2417723 Soup is the benign alternative to sawdust rations. Game won't get mad at you for soup, only your citizens who will lose a little hope and gain a little discontent.
