Frostpunk 2 is massively expanded compared to its predecessor, with a scope that sees players managing a city with thousands upon thousands of inhabitants over the course of years. New features include the ability to construct entire districts, as well as the diplomacy and voting mechanics, which see you juggling political promises to different increasingly-belligerent factions.
