One of the best

Absolutely addicting city builder, and easily one of the best. This is one of those games where you go from 10 PM to 6 AM without even noticing. The combat and military aspects aren't too great, but you can complete ignore or disable them, which I usually do.

Great Game, Poor Campaign Conclusion

I loved this game up until the end of the campaign. The last mission is time-based and clearly broken. The graphics and presentation & pacing are fantastic, but the campaign is way too short and the last mission has some serious mechanical issues. It's worth a shot, but grab it on sale!

Classic for a reason

It still looks gorgeous and runs well on all kinds of hardware. It's nice and complex, adding more depth compared to previous games in the series. The only reason you would want to play newer Anno games is just for thematic variety. As far as gameplay goes, this game is an evergreen classic.

Still a magnificient game

This Anno is still one of the best to date. It still looks great, the characters and soundtrack are fantastic, and for me it hits the sweet spot between complexity and relaxation. An absolute gem!
