Making a Name for Yourself in CryoFall’s Forgotten WorldĪs mentioned previously, colony survival simulators like CryoFall start you with little to nothing, forcing you to get a lay of the land if you are to make a name for yourself. Despite that, I can’t help but feel it’s a major missed opportunity, as it’d help sell the abandoned wasteland that many other aspects build up. You’re here to build an industrial empire, not hunt tidbits of lore. I haven’t even mentioned the environmental inconsistencies, with makeshift shacks and concrete walls being combined with cars not even our modern-day has reached.įor most, this isn’t much of an issue in the grand scheme of things. While I’d understand the lack of this feature in a procedurally generated landscape, CryoFall goes the route of a handcrafted world, making it hard to show the team any leniency. Using these, you can piece together what led civilization to its collapse. This title shares in a basic concept for players to work off of, but elevates this by breathing life into its world with notes scattered around. To help prove my point, take the game Unturned for example. You may ask “well isn’t that the exact definition of a basic premise?” and while you wouldn’t be wrong, there’s one crucial aspect that’s missing: lore breadcrumbs. Working with other players, you must rebuild civilization, if you have any hope of returning it to its former glory.
Your premise is that this desolate world is in ruin, swarmed by various adversaries which prove a serious threat to your existence. While CryoFall understands this concept fairly well, it fails to meet the expectations of its competition. Given the nature of colony survival simulators, one would expect CryoFall to give a basic premise, letting you create your own stories to riches followed by your sudden downfall.

But does its goal of industrial wealth and prosperity transfer well into gameplay? Find out in my CryoFall review!ĬryoFall is available exclusively on PC through Steam. It’s why I have an undying love for titles like RimWorld, and what lured me towards CryoFall, a multiplayer colony survival title with a lot going for it. Going from scraping by to survive, up to a massive industrial empire, can be a wonderful dream come true. There’s something rather intriguing about surviving in a desolate world, whether it be off in the frontiers of space or the futuristic version of our backyard.
