Frostpunk Review Frostbite Steam The British By Bricky | First Chicago Reacts 

I remember my first successful playthrough of this game. I had some friends over, we were all slightly drunk, and we decided to try the game. It started pretty reasonably, then at some point we decided that coal mines are the best place for disabled orphan children and one thing lead to another, people started putting their faith and hope in the church, so by the time the game climaxes, my streets were full of flagellating penitents and we were burning heretics on the cooldown, just to barely maintain control over the starving masses. In the end, we survived, but at what cost?

Bricky actually recently just put out the video he was talking about for The Last Autumn DLC, might want to check that out its pretty interesting.

Funnily enough, just a week before Bricky released this video, my fiancée was telling me about how she had gotten back into this game and she was telling me all about the mechanics. The reason I discovered Bricky’s channel in the first place was because I recognized the Frostpunk title from what she was telling me

Do his follow up video, Frospunk: The Last Autumn

This has to be possibly one of the best timed things I’ve seen online. Just a few days ago they announced Frostpunk 2!

Bricky is The King™, will always support more reactions to that lad and his other content

8:44 When he said "Don't forget about that like button though", the actual like button underneath the video lit up in rainbow colors. I didn't know you could even _do_ that!

Final day of the game called "The Long Night" You just have to step away from the keyboard and let Jesus take the wheel and hope you did well enough to have someone survive and win the game. That gave me panic attacks.

Frostpunk is a great game. I wish there were more city builders like this. I do like the concept of colony survival games.. And I got an extra bit of immersion out of this game back when I played it. My computer went pretty hot every time I turned that game on. So.. I basically felt like sitting right next to my colonies generator while playing. It was great. Especially during the summer :D

The final cold on the Long Night is -150C. That's where CO2 turns solid. Imagine looking up at your generator and seeing the smoke turn into black snow in mere moments.

The soundtrack of the game is excellent. I remember after I finished by first game. It got so stressful and intense that I was shaking in my chair. It's an spectacular game.

Bricky is actually missing one key difference between Order and Faith: Order is more about managing/reducing discontent, while Faith focuses more on raising hope.

When I first tried this game, I decided I'm gonna properly sit down and finally learn how to play a city builder. (I tried playing other city builder games before, and I completely sucked) And I thought while I'm at it, might as well get as immersed as I can. I set the temp on my A/C as low as it can, plus a fan to my side, cold enough where I needed a jacket. I turned my lights down so the room is dim, and set the led lights in my room to a blue-ish white. On top of all that, I have a pair of Sennheiser 850. And I can tell you... Jesus Christ... The cold was immense, and everytime there was a blizzard, I turned the fan up more. Teeth chattering and fingers trembling, I steeled myself and tried to not lose focus. I stopped feeling like I was playing a game, and began to feel like I was another face among the crowd of people in my city. My mouse and keyboard faded away as I stopped thinking about controls, because my brain was caught up by something else. My people. Every decision felt like I had my neck on the chopping block, and I was spinning a wheel of fortune. Every death felt like a needle in my chest, every angered shout from the people felt... personal. The resources, coal, food, wood, steel, etched into the back of my mind, never ever enough. There's more and more people, more and more mouths to feed, more coal needed for the generator to burn brighter and hotter, houses, food, medical, jobs, the city grows our resources shrink, laws, research, progress, stress, hope and discontent. It all piled on and on and on. Till a breaking point. Not in the game. But me. The tension was so much, from a video game mind you, that it brought me to tears. I played for quite a while for my first time, but it was an experience I don't think I can recreate. Not everyone has this kind of setup, what with the A/C and lights and stuff, or maybe I myself got too absorbed into the game. But even playing normally, the game's atmosphere is outstanding. I think you can easily get engrossed into the game and spend several hours straight on it. Now, is my city any good? No, it's absolute dogturd. And did I learn anything about city building? Not really, I still don't know what I'm doing. Did I enjoy it? I'm never forgetting that experience until the day I'll be sleeping in the ground.

*The STORM is coming.* [Bury the Light intensified]

They are currently making Frostpunk 2! Judging from the teaser, it is going to involve oil. Topical!

I always choose Faith: 1. You need less ressources and manpower 2. House of Healing is a huge help and needs !only workers! 3. Churches have a much higher range than watchtowers and, iirc, need no workers or specialists

I would highly recommend you guys react to Technoblade's Great Potato War Series. He's absolutely insane and hilarious.

I ignored the warnings about the [spoiler] until I lost [spoiler] at which point it was way late to act. The last half hour of the game had me cackle and giggle like a mad man while my little order utopia without any harsh laws rapidly decendet into complet anarchy and pulled itself back up with an iron fist slamming down multiple times, guards manning their towers by shoving the frozen corpses of their predecessors out who died up there just because I could not afford to pull them back into the warm homes without losing the game, the generator ran on overdrive to the limit and eventually I ran out of coal. with the last dieing sputters of the almost destroyed generator the scenario ended and ever since then "the city must survive" soundtrack causes a small adrenalin spike in my body. This game positively traumatized me. 12/10 do recommend, just don't settle in for a nice joyful ride. This game pretends to be about city building but it really, really isn't. It is about the question what cost is too great and you hold all the descisions.

I think that comment about scale was key here with Frostpunk. It's not exactly this, but close to something like how a film shot in a single-location builds intimacy with the story for the audience, where this game does a lot to attach you to the people of your particular city before gut-punching you with major decisions. I always tend to think some about the characters when I play a city-building game, but this one doesn't ever let you forget. They did a really clever job with it -- using dark themes, sure, but with a very clever delivery.

Frostpunk really managed to show you what desperation actually is. You can't manage your way out of it through swift and decisive action with a little bit of forward thinking. No, you WILL SUFFER AND PANIC through it all.

Frostpunk 2 just got announced, too!

Frostpunk 2 is coming boysssss!

The trailer for Frostpunk 2 came out just a few days ago

Turn's out Frostpunk 2 was just announced.

You guys should react The State of Movement Games by FUNKe 1 and 2.

Yooo, the recommendation I gave was made! Let's goooo

If we are talking frostpunk do "A PURPOSE FOR NEW LONDON" from Stupendium

I know I suggested this before but I recommend watching Welyn's Rust or Sea of Thieves videos. He has a different style of humour from a lot of content creators and is an amazing storyteller for a gaming channel. His content is always a 10! 10 out of what? Not going to tell you. Find out on your own.

you guys have to check out Bricky's review of "Outer Wilds"

Collecting steel in the open especially is brutal if you dont set up a heated gatherers hut for it since sub zero steel scrap is surprise surprise an extreme hypothemia hazard. Collecting wood in the open is one thing, but steel is where it starts teaching you the consequences of your own actions.

Bricky back at it again! You should check out his The Outer Wilds review/gameplay too!

Ok, now I want you guys to make react video of Uberdanger's Frostpunk lol

Not gaming related, but I would love to see you all react to Bill Wurtz "history of japan" or "history of the entire world, i guess"

"Arctic and Steampunk, what a cool combination." Um, it's called Frostpunk. Not just the game, that is the actual Genre.

This was a pretty good video for explaining what the game is, and showing the gameplay, but if you wanna watch an actually entertaining video on this game then you should watch uberdangers frostpunk video

23:50 : Especially once your city is running at a decent pace so you can just sit back and enjoy what you built. Yeah no in this game you pretty much can't let it go. At some point in the near future it is going to hell. Like the tempature going down three levels. Which will bring more disease then more strain on your healtcare which then fail and someone died. The guy that died was one of the coal mine worker which leads to less coal that forces you to shut down heaters or else your generator shuts down which leads to being colder so more disease, then more bells that signal your doom, even less coal and other ressources because GUESS WHAT THE OTHER WORKERS ARE DYING. Then it's getting colder. You are forced to use the overdrive on the generator and the tempature is going back up but at that moment you are freaking screwed. So many diseases, your population is cut to freaking half and you'll die in a couple of days at most. *THE END*

well now they gotta see the other one

I still remember me and my friend Jacob went to the midnight release of the OG modern warfare 2 and he and I went in and got the night vision goggles with it. Good times.

honestly your idea of a scout short film or game sounds super cool.

There are a lot of frostpunk trailers if you want to react more about frostpunk

You mentioned using bricky's code to buy gamer fart and it reminded me of how Badger talks about how he wants to beat a vtuber in sales she reacted to it and said to buy his drink... And use code orca to do so... She planned to lose the battle to win the war.

I was recommended this, just not my thing. I would hate to be trapped in a lift with the fella explaining the game. Scene from aeroplane comes to mind. I can see it being a thing for gamers though

Fuck yea we got some bricky in the house

heeey nice, i was about the recommend this video from bricky Frostpunk is the best city builder i ever played, i cannot wait for Frostpunk 2

You think -70 C is bad it goes as low as -150 C

They Announced FROSTPUNK 2!!! Check out the trailer!!

I do Recoomend his fallow up video Last Autumn bouth great videos

you need to see Uberdanger's version of this. The Rise of Funkytown.

Bruh get you a homie like Michael that compliments you until you turn red

I have this on pc and ps4 with all dlc/expansions and Im following fp2 waiting for the pre order. 👍❣ You guys definitely need to play and experience it first hand.

25:30 that is the one that so hard you practicly have to rebuild the whole city. industry zone is all over the place housing is shit everything is shit. also his video is great he spoil a little bit for maybe new player to try it but not the whole plot. setiously the plot is very interesting.

i think this dudes should react to mandalore

Hear my Story. I played Frostpunk like any other when suddenly a safe game corruption happened. I had to start anew. Afraid that the next campaign would also get corrupted I didn't save once (Autosave excluded, but I wasn't sure if it was on) In short I survived. I cam dangerously close to the more evil aspect of the Order tree, but that was partially because I didn't quite understand that it became more and more villainous the further I went. I stopped doing any more Order research when my Guards began to abuse their power and had to scold them. Exclaiming in my room:"Whatthefuck?! You are supposed to keep the citizens safe you Idiots." It was a tough and tense campaign run. Not only was I constantly worried that the game would suddenly crash like before I was also very tense that any misstep on my part would end in failure. It was a tense, very tense campaign for me that made it all the more effective when I had to begin taking some drastic and immediate steps during the final Storm, coming dangerously close to overheating my Reactor. But I survived.

Frostpunk is the type of game that you must have enough experiences and management skills to be a good leader. If you lack of management skills, you will not even survive past the first day.

Frost Punk 2 is announced as of recent!

Next time could you react to Uberdanger’s Frostpunk video? I think it’s called the rise and fall of “Funkytown” it’s of course a funny video but it shows the game overall

Frostpunk is a city builder with a purpose.

It's crazy to think Bricky used to be a League of Legends sweat

Could you guys react to how microsoft flight simulator recreated our entire planet by noclip

Uberdanger has a great frostpunk video as well, but he has some other great videos like the rise and fall of the Gandhicus, his Diddy kong racing video, and his video on The Forest.

Follow up on his last Autumn video pls!

You guys should react to Half-Life but the AI is self aware!

pls react to "A Skeptical Look at Climate Science " by Neil Halloran, he's the same person that made "the Fallen of World War II"

You guys should react to Battlefield 2042 | Exodus short film. Also, first

these guys should do sovietwomble stuffs

i love building cities but they always become boring to me but frostpunk is tense ass all hell and a great play for sure

I sputtered when you remarked about being able to sit back and watch the city work once you get decently established cause that is IMPOSSIBLE in this game. You’re always frantically working at some issue or another than could threaten to cascade into a full collapse of the system. Taking it easy is NOT AN OPTION.

its a great game

you guys should react to nakeyjakey videos

Maybe react to the Titanfall 2 review by bricky?

Can you guys react to The story of Onfim by TREY the Explainer.

High hope, with 144 homeless people. Impressive.

You should react to Recreyo

Cheers for the video, would recommend checking out the last autumn one as well. If you're wondering about my name and it's pronunciation, the emphasis is on the fattened syllables and it basically means the fluff that gets left between your toes from socks etc. Though I gotta say it cracked me up with your guesses.

you should watch "the funniest Minecraft video ever" by tommyinnit

Sad things is most of the new players chose Child Labour.

Maybe it's just me, but ... Frostpunk doesn't really need much replayability. Already the first scenario can be so mentally exhausting that you will not be able to return to the game for a long time. And I don't mean "oh I'm so pissed off, this game is so bad etc". Just the opposite. This game without an actual continuous story carries such an emotional charge that it is sometimes difficult to keep under its weight. This is not a citybuilder, in which if you need something for a while / quickly you build it without looking at what will happen with satisfaction or people. Every person counts, every decision counts, and the summary when you manage to "win" may make you regret it ... Because completing a scenario is not always equal to a moral victory.

the premise is actually flawed. if you go up north, the chances that you get sick are smaller rather than larger. because yes, it is colder up there, but so the densitiy of sick making elements is also much lower.

Poggers

Could you huys react to welyn sea of thieves or rust

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Oh come on you do frost punk and don't pick Ubers video? I love Bricky but come on guys it is so much more entertaining.

hahahahaha.....i got 666....heheh

Reaction content. Pretty cringe.
