Full Release/2026 Review:
A lot has happened and honestly, it isn't positive. At this point it looks like all but a few stragglers have left the company. They are bringing in any money. The game will shut down eventually. There are a few people still working on updates. One person I believe was recruited from the Discord community and is working on updates unpaid. If that doesn't tell you the state of Frost Giant, I don't know what will.

The game just sucks. It's literally unfinished. They released because they ran out of money and as stated, the only people working on it appear to be doing it for free. The campaign has been changed from the original early access one, and it's still terrible. The missions aren't particularly notable, the art is bad, the voice acting is worse.

I want to get to a significant issue I have with the game, the pathing is terrible! It's some of the worst pathing in an RTS I've played. I don't know how they messed it up this bad. The units are dumb, they control dumb, they take terrible paths or don't go at all. This is a core function of the game and it's just bad. I would say do better but, the company is dead.

In conclusion, Frost Giant has already left the building. Don't invest your time and/or money into this dead game. It died for a reason. Don't try to necro this game out of the grave, it isn't worth it.

Early Access Review:
You can take the developer out of Blizzard, but you can't take Blizzard out of the developer.

Many of us supported this game because we wanted to see it succeed. A lot of us are hundreds of dollars deep into this game already. Why are there pre-day 1 microtransactions that we don't own? Was my $360 not enough? Now I need to be nickel and dimed with additional paid content on the first day of early access? It feels like a slap in the face that there is content in the game I don't own, literally before the game has even released.

The campaign is terrible. We're paying at least $5 per mission. It's almost like this is a meta commentary on people caring too much about the campaign so they purposely made it as horrible as they could. Maybe this is genius. The writing, the artstyle, this game isn't winning in any category. I have the graphics maxed out, the mouths don't move during cutscenes.

The co-op is half baked at best. I'm surprised at just how often Stormgate is falling flat on it's face when not only did these developers work on successful projects, they can just copy what they did before. You've done this already! You should know what to do!

It seems they've also forgotten one factor that made WarCraft 3 and StarCraft 2 so successful. The custom maps made by the community are wildly popular with a wide range of players. Are the map tools available? Of course not! This should have been a huge focus on getting out. Release the map tools to the community. Allow them to patch up the holes in this abysmal product. While you work out more trash campaign missions, the community could be keeping everything alive with custom games.

This is what I imagine a F2P version of WC3 would be like in 2003. Unfortunately for Frost Giant, it's no longer 2003. It's 2024 and this game is insulting. The graphics suck, the art style sucks, this game is behind on every metric I can think of. I paid so you don't have too. Avoid this product.

On the plus side, that Collector's Edition I paid for might be worth some money one day. "Remember when those ex-Blizzard devs tried to start their own company and fell flat on their face?"
