Hard, relentless, depressing and absolutely great with a few caviats.

Frostpunk is a city builder of a different kind.
In Frostpunk's frozen world it is your job to keep your people save from the blistering cold and lack of resources... and of course defectants.
You need to keep your people fed, housed, treated for illness but first and foremost WARM!
With passing laws and working down research tech tree you decide the fate of your people but keep in mind that you need to manage resources, your people's hope and discontent.

Pros:
- Very cool setting
- Actually challening (be prepared to restart at least once because you screwed it all up)
- Amazing atmosphere
- Nice enough visuals
- Two different paths (you can be a fascist or religeous leader)

Cons:
- The main campaign is extremely short (had to restart after 3,5h and finished the main campaign from start to finish in 4,5h.
- The game is buggy. On my first real attempt (the one I royally screwed up) I lost an Automaton due to a bug and I didn't realize until it was too late. On my actual playthrough the same thing happened with a transport party supposed to bring me coal but I realized it quickly enough and was able to salvage the situation.
- The story is not deep at all which is really sad considering the cool setting. To know why the world is frozen you have to buy additional DLC, which is a real bummer.

Overall:
A really fun city builder which is a definite buy if you can get it on sale. Personally I wouldn't pay full price for it since it's campaign is way too short and after 4,5h you'll have researched everything the tech tree has to offer and worked your way through the law tree as well. Sandbox mode doesn't offer much more than the campaign.
I hope they expand the content in the sequal which is already announced.
