Critic Reviews for Anno 2205
Anno 2205 is an engaging and strategic city builder with a forgettable story and too little motivation beyond profit.
An ideal gateway into the city management sim, but with too little room for forward-planning.
Anno 2205 wears a distant future sci-fi aesthetic, but does nothing of substance or import with the premise.
Anno 2205 succeeds where many in the genre have failed in creating an interesting looking world that the player can care about. Experienced players of the city sim and strategy genres won't find anything new here, though, instead finding one of the most rudimentary offerings in terms of mechanics on the market today.
Anno 2205 offers plenty of enjoyment, but may not appeal to the hardcore strategist.
A minor entry in the venerable city building series, which has some interesting ideas and visuals but too little in the way of gameplay depth.
If you're a long-time fan of the series though, you'll probably be a bit put off by some of the changes and a very real drop in difficulty. It likely won't be enough to knock your favourite version of the series off of your hard drive, but at least it could sit comfortably beside it.
There's definitely a market for this game, but I completely understand why so many long-time fans are so upset.
