Frostpunk vs Highrisers
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.

Highrisers
Highrisers is an “escape from the tower”-style survival-slash-resource management game that’s fairly similar to the first Skyhill game, except that instead of traveling to the lobby, your end goal here is to scavenge the resources you need from the lower floors to fix the helicopter on the rooftop so your team of 4 survivors (if none of them died, that is) can escape the tower. It’s basically a quarter of the plot of Zack Synder’s most recent and relatively controversial zombie flick, Army of the Dead, really… and like the film, the game is fun but it has its own caveats.And of course, there are the zombies… ahem… I mean, mutants that will attack your team and any fortifications you’ve put up if they spot you… so there’s that.
For what it’s worth, I really liked resource management-based survival games like Highrisers and I have had a pretty good experience with the game myself, minus all the issues I’ve pointed out. The game definitely has some good stuff going for it, but the dev team really needs to work on the game more to revamp some of the gameplay designs and also to fix the game-breaking bugs reported by their players. Only then I would be comfortable recommending the game. For now though, it’s probably wise to keep it in your wishlist.
