Re: "Re: Games Are How Big Now?!"
@stack The reason I like Frostpunk so much is that it actually has something to say when you really play through one of its storylines all the way. It's ultimately about tough decisions that are made and how humanity either works together or creates conflict in times of dire need and survival. You make choices in the game based on your preconceptions of what you think the right choices are, but the game is really pointing you in a direction that you don't expect unless you play through the game in a certain way. I don't really want to spoil it, but it's an excellent game. You could get through one of its storylines in about 4 hours or so, but it has ~5 different storylines that all connect.
It really is a great game that gets you thinking about how humans behave and how they can be selfish in times of great stress, and how this selfishness could lead to their death instead of being *selfless* and how this selflessness is really what saves humanity as a whole. Gaah, just writing it out like this makes me love this game even more.

Re: Games Are How Big Now?! — Are these games good enough to be worth it? Most of them aren't, but frostpunk is probably the best game I've ever played in my life. I was obsessed with that game for weeks. The storyline and gameplay was so well done, and I love the city-builder-like survival type simulator strategy games. Games like Foundation, Going Medieval, and Frostpunk. I'm very excited for...
