There's rarely a moment that's free of tension and worry, and rarely a choice that isn't second-guessed.

In addition to building, gathering resources, and sending expeditions into the frozen world, you have to grapple with passing laws that may save your citizens' lives but at the same time may erode their freedom. You're not just trying to keep them warm and fed, but keep them hopeful, and that's no simple matter when the only thing more bleak than the present is the future.

But that Frostpunk does things differently is one of the things that makes it great.ДЇrostpunk is both grim and beautiful, a blend of survival and crisis management that leaves you facing tough choices, sometimes unthinkable ones, as you attempt to build a city that will protect your residents from a world gone cold. Also strange is that no matter how efficiently you design your city, your residents may kick your ass out of it due to events that take place elsewhere. Released: 2018 | Developer: 11 Bit StudiosД¬hris: It feels strange to play a city-builder that's not open-ended and doesn't let you tinker with your city forever. It's also really charming, somewhat against the odds.ДЄustin: I'd also like to add that there's a gun that shoots guns that shoot bullets. But it's the weaponry that keeps Enter the Gungeon fresh. Other arcade-centric roguelites like Flinthook and Rogue Legacy have had a good go at mixing compelling action with a simplified approach to the genre, and while each are great they end up feeling repetitive: like a jumble of the same rooms. But Enter the Gungeon is special because not only does it nail the essentials (shooting, movement, sheer variety of weapons and items), but it also doesn't complicate things too much. There are hundreds of distinct weapons, ranging from a bow and arrow through to guns that shoot actual bees.Д®nter the Gungeon exists in an absurdly busy genre: each week I write about a new roguelite. As one of four distinct characters, you'll dodge-roll, kick furniture and, most importantly, destroy bullets with bullets.

In other words, the enemies are ammunition. Shaun: Enter the Gungeon is an arcade roguelite about shooting bullets with bullets.
