I’m sure it’s too early to get a good answer, but my question is how the campaign feels, and how much replayability it has. I’m much more partial to endless builds, things that I can make sustainable and manage efficiency. This doesn’t seem to be that, which is fine, but I hope that the campaign lasts a long while and there’s reason to play it again.

DreamShipWrecked posted:It is definitely more a survival game than a city builder. It isn't as bad as This War of Mine, but you are constantly fighting bad weather and overpopulation. You really have to pay attention to make sure that all your resources are used effectively. Have you played Oxygen Not Included? Just wondering how it stacks up against that in terms of like, flow and relative “okay this is stable, but only until x resource runs out or population increases”. I’m going to buy and probably enjoy Frostpunk, but I’m trying to gauge whether or not it’ll be a sort of one and done playthrough or if I’ll stick with it a long time.

MrQwerty posted:in regards to endless scenario people: Playing it, I don’t *hate* that it’s got a clear end and it doesn’t detract from the experience they wanted but I guess in this day and age it’s impossible to have any sort of nuanced opinion and it’s either perfect or garbage. The battle lines have been drawn. It would be really cool to have increasingly complex societies which require increasingly involved supply chains and balances in an endless scenario, but hey the game doesn’t want to do that it’s pretty cool for what it is, so it’s still good?

I won’t go against the grain saying that Frostpunk is the tighter experience and more polished product, to be sure, but it depends on what you’re looking for. Frostpunk a little bit more tense and survival based. While Surviving Mars has those moments, it’s a bit more self-paced, and a bit more of a city builder instead of survival. Surviving Mars, for me, has more replayability and “creativity” associated with it. There’s kind of more room, more freedom. Frostpunk is more limited and driven. Like the other guy said, Surviving Mars probably does need a DLC or two to really shine, but it’s by no means bad now. Again, Frostpunk is definitely the more polished and full experience if you’re buying this weekend.
