NotE3 and Summer Game Fest 2023 is over for another year. If it can do bigger cities - and apparently it can - that's reason enough for me to pop my mayor hat back on.Ĭities: Skylines 2 will launch October 24th and there's a Steam page if you want to see more screenshots. Diablo IV is massive, and that’s not to say that the size and scope of a release is the be-all-end-all, but it’s a testament to the ambition that sits at the heart of the fourth mainline installment in one of the most popular PC franchises of all time. Ultimately, though, I don't need this to be hugely different or a massive advance on the original Cities: Skylines. A feeling that remains even after unlocking your first in-game Kill 666 of achievement. It's still a little light on detail and I wish there were practical examples of how changes to the simulation affect the decision you make when zoning or constructing roads. Maps are also new dynamic, with cities built in different areas having their own "challenges, climate, and opportunities." There are no particular examples given, but I always enjoyed dropping Sims into SimCity 4 so I could track them as they moved from house to house, had kids, and passed away. The idea is that you can select a particular peep and then follow how your changes impacted their life. Cities: Skylines 2 simulated the economy such that your choice "have ripple effects across the city." Each citizen of your metropolis now also has a life of their own, with an "occupation, household, relationships and more." A press release offers more detail, however.

No specific release date for Frostpunk 2 yet, but as I said before, it should be out sometime in 2024. It's certainly talking a big talk with that trailer, so let's hope it lives up to expectations. ![]() Still not much about how gameplay will differ from the first game just yet, but thematically it looks like we'll be dealing with ethical quandaries perhaps even more brutal than the first game. Just like the first game, you need to scratch together the last of humanity and survive the harsh weather, making tough choices that may or may not involve human sacrifices like the trailer darkly teased. Humans are still reliant on resource-hungry machines, but in this age, coal has been replaced with oil. 3 Events 3.1 Restore the City 3.2 From Fire and Riots 3.3 Examine the Generator 3.4 Prepare the Evacuation 3.5 The Evacuation 3.6 The Price of a Lie 3.7 Save the Children 3. If you're not up to date with Frostpunk 2, this one takes place thirty years after the post-apocalyptic blizzard swallowed the Earth. 1 Starting resources & units 1.1 Book of Laws 1.2 Technology Tree 2 Overview 2.1 Warning This overview may contain spoilers. It's incredibly unpleasant, but I am so pumped to play it. The cinematic trailer (so no gameplay just yet) showed lots of fire, general chaos, and lots of dead bodies, as well as a gritty narrator justifying human sacrifice for innovation. So much so that I'm already dreading the choices that this follow-up will chuck at me. ![]() Okay, but like this trailer scares me a little.
