    Frost is a collectible card game where you try to outrun the ever encroaching cold.

    My first run was quite enjoyable, and the only time I've actually won the game. The more I played, the more cards I unlocked, and with that came a difficulty I didn't expect. The hand drawn graphics are a treat, though the style is quite different.

    Overall, I would recommend this game to an audience looking for a singleplayer card game. If you want solitaire with a story, then this is for you.    … Expand

    A gorgeous card game with great mechanics and atmosphere, but...the RNG seems to be specifically calibrated to piss me off and oh lord are the load times ridiculous. It would have been a good game had they figured out how to make everything move along a little snappier.

    I’m a big fan of strategy games in this vein and Frost felt like a new and unique experience. The biggest draw for me was the challenge of figuring out the best strategy for survival. After that first successful journey my interest suffered frostbite until it succumbed to hypothermia only a few hours after that. I’d still recommend playing it but just like trying to play pond hockey on a negative forty day, it probably can only last a few hours.

    Frost takes the deck-building and survival genres and mashes them together to create a truly challenging and strategic game. At times the game can feel unforgiving and overly hard, but requires players to actually think about their next move rather than rushing through a turn. The art style is beautiful, and paired with an eerie soundtrack creates an unsettling and true survival feeling.

    Frost is mechanically sound and has all the hallmarks of a truly great single player card game. Sadly, its inability to take the concept and really drive home something impactful leaves it feeling a little shallow and limited in the end; a missed opportunity for something so gorgeous and refined.
