Frostpunk 2 huh ?

So the truth is I didn’t care much for Frostpunk 1. Just seemed like a survival city builder with some story elements. I can see why people like it but it didnt exactly wow me.

Frostpunk 2 seems different, though—the grander scale and apparent focus on politics really intrigue me.

I enjoy games like Victoria 3, Suzerain, etc. Does it scratch a similar itch? Or is the political arena much less impactful?

when I finished the first one, it gave me some liberal bullshit about "authoritarianism" or "Stalinism" can't remember which. so I do not have high hopes for a more political Frostpunk
- I might be wrong but I think that Frostpunk 1 criticizes your choices not matter what you do at the end.
  
  I dont care that much wether the politics in Frostpunk 2 are good. I just enjoy the concept of trying to manage different political factions ingames.
  
  I redownloaded tropico and am having more fun in that
  
  Tropico is pretty fun, despite the theoretically anti-communist setting
  
  I kinda wish there was something between tropico and workers and resources in terms of city building that scratches the political economy itch :(
- Yeah I think it was authoritarianism. I finished a play through earlier this year and feel the same way. Still tempted to try it out though.
