    A beautiful and deep city-builder with tons of options and a great design, but with an interesting but poor war system. Is perfect for new players, but also for the veterans. [Recommended]

    Though part of me wishes to blend Latium’s looks with Albion’s cultural variety, Anno 117: Pax Romana makes one spectacular city-building game. Without menu clutter, Ubisoft’s latest is relaxing and strategically challenging at the same time, and I could easily see myself returning to Anno 117 in the future without much hassle — if the initial fixation wears off, that is.

    I can't help but compare Anno 117 to Anno 1800, which, after several years of chunky DLC, is one of the best and most complete city-builders of all time. Release-day Anno 117 was always going to feel slight by comparison. But I've already started four separate playthroughs focusing on different goods, and I've planned two more campaigns, including one where I'll build Rome's biggest ever naval fleet. That's a good sign. Anno 117 has solid bones to build on, and enough meat to go around.
