Frostpunk 2 is getting worse reviews than Frostpunk 1, at least on Steam, and my quick diagnosis is it's trying to still be the same game about little freezing people going to work through the snow early in the morning, except in no longer has people or mornings.

In other words, they tried to make the same game, but with districts instead of buildings, and teams and factions instead of individuals. It feels much more abstract and much less personal. No wonder it feels dissonant to players
