I’m thinking about clearing some room on my SSD and downloading it. Thoughts? Is it possible to win without going full fash?

It’s been a while but I don’t remember the games politics being particularly coherent.

One of the tech trees was clearly fash, the other which was supposed to be the “good” one still included things like child labor and cannibalism.

I remember it being like a theocracy vs secular state choice. You’re either building churches or like a newspaper and radio stations.

I know it’s not what you’re asking, but I highly recommend Against the Storm. It’s similar to Frostpunk in some ways but in others it’s much better.

What I really want to play is Vic 3, but that costs money and frostpunk is free, for me.

You can 🏴‍☠️ Vicky 3 very easily, I did and have around 20 hours.

I had fun playing it but I remember on my win screen some lib brainworms about “can you save your community without BEING STALINIST” or something like that

Being Stalinist is the only way to save the community :chad-stalin:

its a good game! I did my first playthrough without any of the shitty tech (kid labor, sawdust food, cannibalism), it was pretty fun. its got some alright DLC too, i’d say give it a shot

I really liked it. It’s a lot more challenging than most city builders, and when you finally manage to win no matter which tech route you chose you get asked “was it worth it” to survive considering how hard you had to work everyone, which makes the implicit goal to survive without doing any of the bad stuff. Once I finished it a couple times though I lost interest, because while it was fun to beat it doesn’t have any of the longevity of most city buildy games.
