Anno 117: Pax Romana Reviews
Anno 117: Pax Romana has utterly stolen my heart, refining the familiar Anno formula with deeper systems, richer choices, and a stunning Roman-Celtic setting that offers players more freedom, smarter progression, and just enough imperfections to remind you that even near-perfection can still feel human.

Anno 117: Pax Romana improves on the older titles and while the campaign wasn't that captivating in the end, the sandbox mode works like a charm and glued us to our pc for hours.

"Anno 117: Pax Romana" is everything I hoped it would be. The campaign is short but entertaining, and the gameplay is easy to learn but difficult to master. Every detail feels well thought out and perfectly balanced. Thanks to countless quality-of-life features, I can concentrate on the exciting things: the layout of my city, efficient supply, and the expansion of my empire. The new mechanics force me to make interesting decisions. I only have two minor criticisms. First, Latium and Albion are pretty and lively, but a little too colorful and exaggerated for my taste. Second, I don't particularly enjoy the combat system with its sluggish controls. However, neither of these points detracts much from my overall impression – for me, “Pax Romana” is the best “Anno” game ever.

Anno 117: Pax Romana is an excellent entry for newcomers, while also adding many features that will bring back the most die-hard fans of the series.
Anno 117: Pax Romana is a new take on the Anno formula that builds on what came before. It embodies the franchise's strategic DNA, but it also introduces complexity through moral decisions, character-driven stories, and a retrospective look at history.
