Frostpunk 2 is expanding the scope and politics of frozen survival

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. 

From my time hands-on with Frostpunk 2 earlier this year, the developers have crafted something special that certainly isn't playing things safe. While I was concerned about the removal of some more intimate elements and quieter moments that I loved in the original game, the team is addressing this feedback through the inclusion of a feature that'll allow players to zoom in and observe daily life in their vast city.
