Frostpunk 2 arrives on Steam with a 50% discount for the first time, for $22.50, exploring more strategic gameplay and dividing opinions among fans.

Historical offer on Steam

Frostpunk 2 arrives on Steam with a 50% discount for the first time, costing $22.50. According to the promotion, it is the lowest offer since its release in September 2024.

New vision, more ambition

Unlike the previous title, the game does not focus on the granular construction of houses and workshops, but on managing an entire city in a setting of eternal ice. The focus is more on political planning, making Frostpunk 2 larger and more strategic, while the survival aspect is given less weight, which has divided part of the fan base. The critic GameStar describes the title as a 'city-building masterpiece' — albeit a stubborn one.

Reviews and reception

On Steam, approximately 75% of reviews are positive among about 26,000 users. On Metacritic, the user score stands at 7.5, while critics give it a metascore of 85. PC Games awards it 9/10.

The game is listed as Playable on the Steam Deck, but the interface is described as complex and mouse-centric, which may hinder the experience for some.

Availability and experience notes

Despite Steam Deck compatibility, the dense UI and mouse-based control require patience from those used to simpler interfaces. Frostpunk 2's proposal is ambitious and may be worth it for those looking for city management in an inhospitable environment.

Note: Prices and promotional conditions may vary by retailer and offer duration.
