    I tried the demo but unfortunately you need a Ubisoft account to actually play. Hard pass.

    30 fps in "next-gen" 4 years old game on PS5 in 2023. Are you kidding? "Welcome to the 19th century" – that is true. Absolutely unplayable. Sony, give me a way to make a refund.

    Anno 1800, subpar edition. the 9, day one cosmetic DLC's was my first clue, that this game was a rip-off (glad it had free trial). I started the game and it took longer than it should have to figure out how to blow up the fish. When i got my city started, i could only fulfill 2 of the 3 requirements and the game offered no tutorial or help as to how to advance.

Ubi has got so bad, it seems like obiden is working for them .… Expand

    This game is definitely going to be popular with a certain demographic of gamers, but for me the whole thing is far far too slow.

    As you enter a new technology phase you often have to re-juggle all of your resources, re-balancing as you go isn't a challenge but it's just dreadfully time consuming.

I reached a point where my resources were stable and the end was in sight but then I realized I would have to spend countless hours waiting to build up an armada. A half dozen instantly built harbour turrets can annihilate a 15 strong fleet. I figured I could guess the outcome and stop wasting my time. I much preferred the previous titles where resource management wasn't a full time faff.    … Expand

    Anno 1800 is one of the most addictive city builders that I’ve played on console, full of gameplay intricacies that create an intoxicating experience. With so many moving parts, it suffers a bit from the typical PC-to-console control issues that plague the genre, but I doubt that will stop you from spending hours building an empire.

    Anno 1800 is a stellar strategy game and while the Console Edition has some flaws (e.g. large interface windows cluttering the screen, some technical issues, the lack of major expansions available on PC), they’re not so annoying as to suck the fun out of the experience. However, it seems the PS5 and Xbox version of the game was developed with novices rather than veterans of the series in mind. Regardless, I enjoyed my time with Anno 1800 Console Edition very much.

    Anno’s core strength is the cities that it allows you to create. Sometimes it does feel more like a puzzle game than a simulator, as you desperately try to figure out how to give your most demanding residents access to everything they crave. However, the satisfaction of doing it well is almost incomparable for the genre. I am a firm believer that simulation games, at their best, teach you about real-world jobs, processes, and social/cultural/environmental dynamics, whether that be flying a plane, driving a train, running a hotel or building a city. Anno does that, and it presents players with a vision for cities that will, hopefully, be the future of urban planning.
