Where Frostpunk was painfully intimate, the sequel takes a bird's-eye view, but this distance serves it just as well. When you're the only person who can see the overlapping factors leading to disease, squalor and cold, and the complex steps to unravel them, you'll know when someone is offering you half a solution, and when those patchworked halves are causing tensions to boil. Over the length of its five-part campaign, Frostpunk 2 demonstrates that it doesn't only have new mechanical tricks for the survival city builder, but explores uncomfortable questions about whether you can ever build a fair world. Fair, it asks, for whom?
