With winter about to seize half of the world in a frigid grasp once more, could there be a better time to hunker down at home with the Frostpunk 2 Fractured Utopias DLC - the first paid content patch since one of the best city-building games released last year? This new expansion adds a bunch of extra skill trees, over 100 narrative events, and lots more to, you guessed it, Utopia mode. That means you can struggle to survive the never-ending winter of the survival game as the hopefully non-hazardous version of the same season outside your house simply suggests you wear a coat outside as opposed to, say, six layers and ski goggles.
