Can't Stop Playing

Don't know why. But I'm playing this constantly and not attacking my backlog.

Excellent Game

Exactly what I remember from the good old days. Mechanics still hold up very well with some obvious outdated issues. Still good enough to spend the next few weeks grinding through campaign and scenario missions. for 14.99 this is a great purchase. If this is on sale this should definitely be a must-have in your book.

But for this one... I'll review instead how I feel about this game. I LOVE this game! I cherish and celebrate it with every ounce I can muster. This, for me, is the cherry on top! I rejoice in thankfulness and gratefulness for the ones responsible for bringing this gem to fruition. Sincerely, thank you whoever you(s) are.

How'd I miss this game?

Do you care for RTS games? Want to just relax and do some city/resource/trading management with some farming, and maybe fight some pirates if you want to? Game also has a storyline, but if you dont want to touch that, theres a feature for that. Don't care for online games? This games got your name on it then. I had not even Campaigns and Scenarios yet and was already hours in. This was a classic, and as you've probably already read, the "gold standard" of the Anno series.

Worth every penny

The Anno series' cumbersome DRM left a very sour taste in my mouth for this entire series. Now that it's on GOG, I thought I'd give it a shot since it was always the DRM, not the game itself, that kept me away. I've been playing through the quick start missions and thoroughly enjoying myself. I love city builders and even though I'm not typically fond of games set in this era I would highly recommend this one. It lives up to the hype. The buildings and cities have tons of character and the building system seems pretty intuitive.
