But most importantly, it adds a new layer that is present in many aspects of the game \u2013 be it politics, be it society, be it technological progress \u2013 the conflict between humans and their nature\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We scored the original Frostpunk an 8.75 out of 10 with former <em>Game Informer <\/em>editor Matt Bertz\u00a0writing that \u201cRarely does an interactive experience keep me awake at night wrestling with big decisions. Frostpunk did this on multiple occasions and made me feel squeamish when forcing edicts upon society instead of building consensus. Extraordinary circumstances call for desperate measures, and all I can do is ask for forgiveness from those trampled by my headstrong approach.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Frostpunk 2 is planned to launch for PC only for now, but the first game eventually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2019\/08\/13\/frostpunk-descends-upon-the-ps4-xbox-one-this-october\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">made its way to consoles<\/a>\u00a0so chances are good that this will too.
