Frostpunk 2 took a very daring move as it moved beyond its predecessor - giving its audience not just the same formula from the first game with more bells and whistles attached, but upping the scale and scope of the setting to give a more expansive experience. In moving from survival to nation-state-style politics, Frostpunk 2 has placed itself more in line with the industrialization focus and factional intrigue of grand strategy titles like Victoria 3.
