This could be great, but I’ll wait around for reviews. I’d be very excited about this if it weren’t for Fromsoft’s bad experience with online play. In the beta you couldn’t play with 2 players and if someone disconnected there apparently wasn’t a way to reconnect, and the netcode could be janky. Really hope they fixed those issues before release.
You won’t be able to play with 2 players in the final game either, they’ve already said as much when they first announced it.
Last I’ve heard they said they were looking into it but haven’t confirmed anything. They also mentioned they were surprised so many people wanted a 2 player mode which is… Surprising.
I have faith that, with this and Duskbloods, they’re taking online play more seriously. But still I’m with you in waiting for reviews to confirm that’s the case before considering buying it. Network test existing doesn’t tell us anything about how the final product performs until the final product is released.
Judging from the video description this seems to be a remake of the original Frostpunk in Unreal Engine. Not sure why they’re doing it. The original is still just fine.
For the price they were asking, I honestly would’ve expected physical (e.g. floppy disk shaped flash drives) copies of Doom 1&2, equipped with controls onboard to play the games directly off of them.
I played the demo for this game, and it’s a really creative concept. It feels like one of those tile-laying board games crossed with an indie mystery title.
The puzzles go deeper than you’d think too. By the end of the demo, my wife and I were trading off playing and taking down notes, while our 2 y/o was excitedly shouting out doors for us to go through next. It was a good time.
