In Frostpunk 2, you face not only the perils of never-ending winter, but also the powerful factions that watch your every step inside the Council Hall.

Learn more on this strategic, city builder, now out on consoles, in our full review:

This shows a person wearing a thick woolly coat and goggles that depict a fiery scene in their reflection. The whole picture has a dark filter placed on it.

The following quote from our review is also included:

“Frostpunk 2 does a great deal to distance itself mechanically from its precursor, a choice that is both bold and a little bit disappointing.”

A snowy landscape from the game Fresh Tracks. Trees, a fire and a log cabin can be seen with mountains in the background.

The following quote from the review is also included:

“At Its best, Fresh Tracks is a mesmerising flow state of sights and sounds where your movements are in lockstep with the music, but the combination of underbaked roguelite systems and intense difliculty spikes caused me to lose the beat more often than not.”
