Anno 2205 - Hit strategy series goes into space!

[CaptainRAVE]

Tempted to pick this up, in need of a builder type game...

 

[Howling]

I wouldn't mate, I've put 1hr 38mins in it and I bought it on release day. Try Cities Skylines instead.

I'd have to agree. It's a really poor addition to the series.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I have enjoyed what I have played so far, but it is very dumbed down (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

Just noticed the iPad app.

 

[Khrest]

I gave it about six hours and decided it was the weakest of the series. The removal of 'proper' trade routes from the game killed it for me. There was no sense of movement when trading resources around; just felt like numbers. Maybe DLC might help it; it was certainly pretty enough.

It's worth the £15 price tag. It's a fun game thats very playable without hurting your brain.

I wouldn't be happy having paid full price, but at the current prices I don't mind. At least it doesn't require making loads of notes and reading wiki pages like the previous titles did. Performance seems better now than the videos I saw on release.

Try Cities skylines far superior simulator & builder.


Cannot understand how they advertise Anno as city builder. Is not.
(and I have it). is just Nano. And bit dumb to say the least compared to the previous versions.

Yeah I liked the moon feature etc but meh.

Anno 1604 is far superior than all.

Anno 1604 is far superior than all.

Won't disagree but I'm a 1404 man myself, but either way it's 1602 All the Anno games digits add up to 9 (1701,1404,1503,1602,2070,2205)

So long since I played it

The one that came with Venice expansion.

 

[platypus]

Venice was the expansion for 1404, which was the pinnacle as far as I'm concerned.

Great gameplay with absolutely gorgeous graphics.

Yeah. Maybe I will install it again.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I am actually quite addicted to this now

I really did love 1404. It's the only one I've played too.

So, this games been out a fair while now...

Is anyone still playing it? Have they fixed/patched any previous negatives and is sandbox back yet? I played 1602 and 2070 and loved them but i heard this one is a lot more toned down?

The end game on the previous Anno's used to get the better of me a bit, became chaotic trying to manage everything whilst dealing with fires, plague and war so if its not too dumbed down it might be a good thing for me anyway

Cheers

 

[Panos]

It doesn't feel the same as the other Anno games. But the core game is the same with more interesting options, like trading between outposts etc.
And better battle system.

 

[eekfek]

Whilst it may not have the depth of previous games it does provide a decent game with stunning graphics.

If you can pick it up cheap it's defo worth a buy.

 

[hardkore]

The gold edition with season pass is £23 on Uplay at the minute. Might pick it up, it looks very pretty.

 

[eekfek]

Reckon you'll get it cheaper than that, try Instant-Gaming or CDkeys first.

 

[hardkore]

Cheapest I found it anywhere will the season pass was £26, checked mmoga, g2a and cdkeys.
