Hello to you, dear viewer! This time I decided to pour my emotions onto the GoogleDoc and write about impressions first and gameplay features second. Instead of being a "normal" video game reviewer, I opted for a more intimate story that I shared in these 17 minutes. It was a lot of pain, a lot of love, and a love of deliberate omissions of the game's features. As a result, we got a more personal look into Frostpunk 2 than I normally do. It wasn't a surgical examination, rather quite an informal talk about how I feel about this game. Please, I am asking you to tell me what did you think of it. Can it be even called a review at this point? Did you enjoy it? Tell me how did I do. Because I went extremely honest about this game, something I rarely do because I tend to be tongue-in-cheek kind of fellow. But this time, it's personal. Thoughts?
The emotional experience of playing the game is in large part the point of it. So conveying that experience, and how it affected you, is just straight up good for letting people know if this is a game they would be into. And if for one reason or another they don't play it, knowing about the emotional experience probably still has more value than knowing about the mechanical experience in detail. So yeah, I think this was a valid way of approaching the game.
Favorite game channel since the F&H days. I had just gotten FP1 before the sequel was released and haven't put the hours in it but now I'm motivated to tackle it. Waiting for Vlade merch.
"Crank up the AC for immersion." You have no idea how much I've wanted to setup a way to play this game while sitting inside a walk in freezer. PC on the outside, so condensation doesnt happen on the parts. Mouse, keyboard, and monitor inside with me. Let's fucking go.
Hey Vlad, Thanks for your Archolos review, it was the last step I needed to finally play it. It has been 2 weeks of full debauchery just playing that mod ASAP. Thanks a lot for your effort man, we do really appreciate it.
you can be a compassionate benevolent lord who is loved by the people as a mighty emperor! you just need to know how to cheese the resource management the correct way... like unironically they didn't learned from the first game there's a thing that just kinda enables you to sidestep the grey morality for most of the game
I mean the rewards of good management skills allowing you not to make horrible decisions is a reward no ? The better a system runs the less horrid shit happens.
@@rickveenbergen9021 sometimes this game really wants to force misery like unironically for some reason people started calling me tyrant and horrid and all that stuff even tho we were pretty much in a golden age where we werent lacking anything to the point i just kinda rolled my eyes kinda like those memes of "NOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T HAVE A GOOD TIME IN THE POST APPOCALYPSE!! YOU MUST BE A HORRID DICTATOR!!!" "heheh resources go BRRRRR!!"
You have two choices. Do what feels “right” and don’t do any extreme actions in your city and *everyone* dies due to lack of resources. Or do what you have to do to keep *most* alive… morally what do you think is better?

British Gulag Simulator 2: Oily Boogaloo
wow, that's a pleasant surprise putting out a video in a week from the game's release and two weeks past the last video this was definitely unexpected
"It's not me, it's them." Perfect definition of FP2.
"not you, never you." sounds very familiar but I don't know from where.
i need warmth captain 🥶
forced marriage has been enacted
Great video as per usual. I really enjoy that intimate/personal impressions method of explaining why a game is so interesting

Winter is coming, just open the windows and turn of the heating.
@@boomerix I live in South Texas, coldest it might get is 7
65°F at night, maybe. A cold frontight bring it down to 50°F. Rarely ever down below that.
@@VicZam9 Gotta think outside the box, book a weekend trip to Alaska and take a laptop with you
This was quite well done. Good job.

I thought I was going mad but you really did the whole video over Hollow knight's green path theme

Your Commentary was great. Had me laughing. Well done.
I disagree: evil is a skill issue.
An incredible review as always

Or do what you have to do to keep *most* alive…
