    This typical misstep aside, Anno 1800 is an otherwise excellent history-themed simulator that excels at drawing players into its satisfying gameplay loop and keeping them there.

    Rarely before has it been so hard for me in my game tester career, not to award a 90s rating.

    Anno 1800 manages to find its place back between the heavyweights of the genre by getting back to its roots and expanding on the successful formula that made the previous games great. The gameplay is deep, complex, and at the same time simple enough for the newcomers to jump in, and its definitely one of the best entries in the Anno series, if not the best.

    Big, busy and pretty, you can be confident of a good management game that doesn’t take itself too seriously, so long as they can get past some certain disheartening design choices.

    It's a really unique experience. A large part of the game is focused on exploration and it is a true ode to orientalism. A gaming pleasure combined with the visual and sound beauty. Probably the best Anno episode in the history of the series.

    A vibrant snapshot of the Victorian era that’s bustling with character, but doesn’t explore the intriguing, seismic politics of the period.

    Astonishing multiplayer cooperative sandbox. As a tradition for me and my friend we play a lot of it. Everything is perfect. Except Desync 40Astonishing multiplayer cooperative sandbox. As a tradition for me and my friend we play a lot of it. Everything is perfect. Except Desync 40 when we are loading multiplayer game and 1 billion money limit. That actually make this game for max 5 stars, though other aspects of game are so beautiful that I can't give it less then 10.

    !Please fix these 2 problems and I shall give 10 userscore to Ubisoft BlueByte too    … Expand

    Just got a defeat screen in my first campaign. -1 point because the tutorial doesn't really explain the nuances of some mechanics very well.Just got a defeat screen in my first campaign. -1 point because the tutorial doesn't really explain the nuances of some mechanics very well. Just a liiiitle more information about how to manage finances would go a long way for me. I didn't understand why I lost. Still excited to try again from the beginning though.

    -1 point for the monetization. $60 for all the content through UPlay only - or $15 a month for the UPlay membership. I just think it's a tad steep, but maybe there's a lot more content than I realize. Maybe it'll get cracked soon.

    This game is the spiritual successor to my favorite city-builder from the 90s. Games like Frostpunk and Surviving Mars have been bringing back this genre lately, but I didn't realize how much Anno truly revives it. I didn't realize this franchise existed, and I'm so excited to get back to designing city blocks with streets for all the walkers and stuff.    … Expand

For example I do enjoy the change of having to manage my workforce now instead of just building my production without worrying if I have enough workers. Slowly building up your small city into a huge empire just makes fun in this game. Beautiful looking with many details and also a great soundtrack. Besides many positive aspects the game lacks in the campaign, which is quite generic and they surely could have done better, also the battle system - now without landbattles as in Anno 1404 - might not be everyones taste. Taking those 2 main things in consideration with the technical issues some player seem to have it is a 8, if they fix the technical problems it could be an 8,5-9. In my opinion Anno 1800 takes over the title from Anno 1404 of beeing the best in the whole Anno Series. Edit: What might be worth noting for some ppl that there are no additional scenarios like in previous Anno parts… Expand

It's just not funMaybe I'm just not that good, but this game has a learning curve that drains a lot of time when you don't get a concept. It's just not fun when it feels like you've wasted many hours repeatedly. I'm sure if you can get past that and enjoy RTS like it you'd enjoy it.… Expand
