The temperature overlay can be turned on at any point, giving you vital information about the warmth in different parts of your base. Although the speed of the game can be sped up or paused with the directional pad, the game transitions to standard time when a significant event occurs and the start of every workday at the aforementioned 5:00 am. It is not the first strategy game on consoles to employ this style of UI however, it is highly accessible. The command hub radial menu can be accessed by simply using the left trigger, allowing you to select anything using the analog stick or switch category types with the shoulder buttons.
Frostpunk: Console Edition, however, almost feels like a different experience thanks to the redesigned control mechanics that feel right at home when using a controller.

It is this dynamic of being flexible with your townsfolk that ensures that you’ll overcome any of the challenges ahead.Īlthough there have been more releases as of late, strategy games on consoles were once looked down upon as second-rate ports of the popular PC genre. Perhaps operating at 60% by reassigning a handful of workers is the best approach. If you somehow have a massive surplus of food rations compared to the total population, but coal reserves are dropping. Everything from the total number of attached workers to the efficiency percentage breakdown when not using the maximum amount of workers. The UI brilliantly provides all the necessary information. Most of the buildings require workers/engineers to be assigned manually. Of course, food is a necessity, and hunting lodges can be built for a select few to collect raw food that needs to be processed in a cookhouse. For this reason, you’ll always need to be mindful of the coal reserves, and how much burns throughout the night, since you won’t be able to gather more until the morning. As the sun goes down, they will return to the center of your community, eating, sleeping, and spending time with their families. Workers and engineers operate on a daily schedule the day begins at 5:00 am where they will try and finish any construction projects that were carried over from the day prior, before heading off into the newly fallen snow to gather supplies.
#FROSTPUNK PS4 REVIEW GENERATOR#
An ample supply of coal is necessary for the generator to produce enough heat to keep the populace and all of the surrounding buildings warm enough. Workers spread out from your circular town, dredging through the snow to reach loose coal and veins, wooden crates, and deformed pieces of steel. Each member of your newly formed settlement can be assigned a task, and ideally, you’ll be shifting responsibilities around when a crisis occurs. Instead of defending it against a marauding opposing army, the steadily plummeting temperature and management of your limited resources serve as your main adversaries. The coal-burning steam generator serves as a bright symbol for your new home. What happened to those that built the generator? Why makes you think you’ll survive where others had not? With everyone in your group looking to you for answers, you must build tents, stockpile resources, hunt for food, and above all else, keep the fire burning in the generator. Only a lucky few have survived, reaching the site of the generator only to find it abandoned. The remaining few that once populated city streets of London’s have fled to the north, however, a howling blizzard has separated the convoy, killing many in the process. Initially released over a year ago on PC, Frostpunk: Console Edition, a brutal survival city-builder has been rebuilt for consoles (Xbox One and PlayStation 4). The remnants of society were forced from their homes after millions perished due to frigid temperature drops and endless, blinding snow. Set in the north, your new home is ripe with coal reserves. At the center of your icy world, a barely functioning a coal-powered generator, abandoned in the heart of a protected crater.
