Frostpunk is a hardcore survival sim set in a frozen, dying world that's as fun as it is nerve wracking. You'll be making decisions that determine who lives and who dies, and a simple screw-up can result in disaster very, very easily. Now, we're getting The Fall of Winterhome, a story-driven, free expansion for Frostpunk and it will update automatically for those of you who have existing copies of the game on September 19th. Promising hours of brand-new content and a fresh take on Frostpunk's morally ambiguous mechanics, you'll be getting a new map with "refreshed visuals" and discover lore about the frozen world that is trying its best to kill you. You'll discover more about the past, and explore a "sordid tale of the fallen town of Winterhome". I'm in.
We loved Frostpunk, here's what our reviewer had to say about it:
"Although there is some room for improvement with the interface, Frostpunk is a challenging title that doesn't hold your hand, and the end result is an amazing piece of work. With a high difficulty curve, don't expect to ace it your first time, but instead consider each playthrough an experiment. There are a ton of different ways to handle things, from passing laws and focusing on certain resources, to the types of decisions made in the tundra, and all change the feel of the game. That alone is enough to keep me coming back to try and try again. This game should be on the radar of any fan of the genre."
