Featured Deep Discounts at Steam Summer Sale
Valve has introduced a Featured Deep Discounts section during this year’s Steam Summer Sale, showcasing some of the best games discounted by 90% or more. While this makes the selection more manageable, it can still be overwhelming to choose from the array of discounted games available. One standout recommendation is Frostpunk, priced at just $2.99 with a 90% discount.
The Unique World of Frostpunk
Developed by 11 bit Studios and released in 2018, Frostpunk is a society survival game set in a frozen postapocalyptic world. Unlike typical barren wastelands, Frostpunk’s world presents the challenge of generating enough heat to survive and rebuild society. Players must navigate tough decisions, manage resources, and pass laws to ensure the survival of their settlement.
Morality and Resource Management
In Frostpunk, players must balance productivity with morality, often facing difficult choices like implementing child labor or adding sawdust to food. Each decision impacts the society’s Hope and Discontent levels, leading to protests and challenges if not managed effectively. The game’s intimate focus on resource management and moral dilemmas sets it apart from traditional city-building games.
Looking Ahead to Frostpunk 2
With a sequel, Frostpunk 2, on the horizon, players can delve deeper into the franchise’s postapocalyptic world and complex decision-making. While the sequel’s release has been delayed to September 20, now is an ideal time to experience the original Frostpunk at a significantly discounted price of $2.99 until July 11.
Additionally, a Game of the Year Edition with DLC is available for $5.65. Frostpunk is not limited to PC, as it can also be played on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Game Pass, and PS Plus Extra platforms.
