Frostpunk vs Sphere - Flying Cities
Frostpunk
Frostpunk is the world's first society survival game set in a chilly post-apocalpytic setting. Developed by none other than the people behind the award-winning This War of Mine, the game puts you into the shoes of a ruler of the last surviving human civilization. It is now on your shoulders to help your people survive the terrible storm that's coming by enacting necessary (but likely unpopular) laws, deciding which refugees to accept and which to turn your back to, automating as much of your city's vital facilities as possible, ensuring that your city is well-heated, and hoarding as much resources as you can. In this game, every decision you make is impactful and will affect your chances of survival at the every end.Frostpunk is a game that takes resource management to a whole new level by letting you know upfront that you can't win or be the "good guy" all the time. Sacrifices will have to be made and your choices will determine what sort of leader you'll be.

Sphere - Flying Cities
Sphere - Flying Cities is a city-building game that’s somewhat similar to Frostpunk except that it has a sci-fi theme, and allows for more exploration. Set in a world devastated by an asteroid, the remnants of humanity has managed to invent an anti-gravity machine which allows them to levitate a chunk of earth’s surface and move that piece of floating island around a world enveloped by debris and other dangers.Unfortunately, Sphere – Flying Cities falls short of what it aspires to be. The bugs and glitches aside, the gameplay here feels slow – very unlike the kind of urgency that Frostpunk offers, and the amount of player control over how many workers to assign to a facility is oddly restrictive for a city-builder. Personally, I would recommend keeping this game on your wishlist first and let the devs work on improving their game.
