Anno 2205™

Strong no - this review is not about the game, it is about the Ubisoft support. Do not buy the game at this time, some of its functionalities are not working and it is blocking you from finishing some quests. The supposrt promised to deal with the issue 2 months ago, but did nothing about it so far. Don't dump 40 euros in the game that is not working and has no prospect in being playable again. I am writing this review on June 11 2024 - if you are reading this now, don't even think of buying the game. It just won't work as it is supposed to. I am staggered they have the audacity to still sell this game and Steam for allowing them to do so.

It is 4 hours of gameplay stretched across 20 hours of samey time-wasting crap (and its "replay-ability" is another 50 hours stretched across the corpse of the first 24). Requires UbisoftConnect (the new, much worse version of UPLAY) to launch. Has always-online features that are broken more often than working. Trying to get Ubisoft to address an issue is even more difficult than trying to explain an issue to their support staff (literally ripping my computer apart with my bare hands sounded like a fun alternative to talking with those clowns after the first 2 weeks).

没有中文。育碧很傲慢，钱我花了，给你一个差评很公平吧？

I am completely done with having to register an account with each company. Make this fresh hell stop. You've already got my money, do you need my personal information to sell for that much more? Pathetic. You'll get a thumbs up when you stop this crap.

This was my first Anno game. I didn't write a review when I first played through because I didn't have the perspective of the other entries. And after reading the reviews, it seems like a big deal. Here's the plain and simple. Anno 1800 was a better game up until you get near the end game, then it becomes your life. The level at which you have to min/max is incredibly, incredibly in-depth...and for a min/maxer like myself, that seemed liked a good thing. But it wasn't for me; however, I can see how people who truly love supply chain games, it is probably the pinnacle at this time. Anno 2205 is more my alley these days. I play games mostly after work for an hour or two to decompress, so Anno 1800 after a certain point became work to me. Whereas Anno 2205 tops out before becoming your life but still has enough to do to get way more than your money's worth. So, if you like games that allow you to imbibe your preferred destressers and kick back after a long day of work, Anno 2205 is perfect. If you are someone who wants a supply chain game that truly tests your skills and mettle, Anno 1800 (and probably the other Annos) are more your style.

Cannot be launched in '25 as UPlay is not installed, won't be installed via steam and isn't actually required by the game on the store page to be launched (linking an account and installing a 3rd party launcher are not the same thing.) Sale of this should be illegal and those responsible should be jailed.

I love this game...I'd love to get into it but Ubi unsurprisingly has not supported this older game. They had a voting system with a Council that would modify certain bonuses periodically in the game...really unnecessary and I never really used it but now Ubi disabled it and the various other council members now harass you endlessly after a few hours of play. They constantly mention how you forgot to vote. Same dialog. Over and over again, perhaps every few minutes. Darn shame. Loved this game. Anyways, it'll wear on you and make you hate the game over time. I'm going to keep playing because I'm invested in a current campaign but I'm losing steam here.
