What DID you like about anno 2205?

[Dregora]

Not here to cause a flame war so if you're just gonna hate on 2205 because you're incapable of change, just don't comment. If you have genuine complaints, it's fine, just don't be a child.


That being said. I actually liked it. It wasn't as fun as the other ones, I missed the competition on the same map or the ability to actually do a ''race'' as to who gets where the first, but.

What I did like was how every island interacted with each other and basically became part of your main island through bridges.

I also enjoyed the different regions that took different strategies.


And the biggest convenience thing it had is that it easily allowed you to see and read what you needed in order to support your population. I know older annos didn't have it this specific, but I liked it. it was convenient.

I liked both of the future versions of ANNO. I thought 2205 was missing some of what made the one before it great, however I really liked building the Orbital and later on the Moon. Every ANNO game has been good for different reasons. I just got done playing the Beta and the more I played, the more I liked it.

The orbital part, while I like it in theory, was advanced math for me. I just didn't understand any of it lmfao.

Yea the orbital was tough to grasp for me too. Once you figured it out though, it was a lot of fun. I had to look at a few videos to figure out how it all worked.

i LOVED the artic maps. i liked having to deal with heat. it was a very nice unique mechanic.

[Roan Woasbi]

The fact that it was on Steam and not on Epic. Otherwise, I hated it.

The moon and that's it so I can see why it has a Mix review, there are also rumors that it's going to come to consoles which is why it's so inferior to the other Anno games.

I liked the graphics. I think I bought it Uplay, Can't remember. Barely played it. No real sandbox, No multiplayer and just wasn't what I wanted coming from 2070.

1800, With sandbox and multiplayer was a instant buy for me,

2205 Looked really cool just lacked everything I wanted from the series. I know combat in it sucked.

[behemoth227]

I liked that it was a good, low paced city builder. A nice, peaceful game that you can half play, half drink a beer and watch a show with. A good decompression game after a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ day at work.

[Dasparado]

It was a very chill game, however I agree with one of the other posters, combat sucked. It was just terrible.

[PolecatEZ]

I liked that I could figure out how bad it was before the refund window closed.

It is a very pretty game. That's about it.

They nailed Anno 1800 though. Pitch perfect and can't wait to keep going at the full release.

I liked that it was

1.easy to tell how your resource trends were going, the bar flat out told you how much you were making more or less of a good unlike anno 2070 and anno 1800 I would have to look at the warehouse for a while in order to tell if i was losing or gaining, even then idk how much i was making/ losing exactly.

2. I liked the idea and how each zone had different challanges
- temperate zones had the most demanding citizens but also needed to make enough money to support so you don't go bankrupt on the other 2 regions
- artic zones required you to provide heat for your people
- the lunar zones required shield for all buildings

3. each map had its own special project.

4. my experences with it when I was doing my first run though it.

However thats about it. imo the game was too shallow and could get boring fast. there was also basicly no difficulty once you met the production gap. your people would always be happy as long as you fulfilled the amount of goods they wanted and there was basicly no way to fail unless you went out of your way to make enough factories to send you into debt. In a dlc they added where the antagonist could attack you but it felt like an annoyance then an actual challange and imo that dlc should have been in the game to begin with.

overall while the game was mediocore, I did enjoy it just not as much as anno 2070 or other city builders.

The map scale of 2205 is unprecedented. Unfortunately all the designs are set in stone with no randomness so I really struggle to find a reason to keep playing.

[Fivealive007]

^ that to

I really like the graphics and aesthetics of 2205. I never had a problem with the futuristic setting of 2070 either, but 2205 was such a beauty. Especially the ice and moon levels were fantastic places and I really enjoyed the diversity. I'm still missing the deep sea islands from 2070 even in 1800 were it wouldn't make much sense. They were so cool!

However I stopped playing 2205 quite early on, because it felt as if there never was a real sandbox and core elements of the ANNO series just had gone missing. The game never went out of the tutorial phase. There were goals constantly to fulfill and it even told you what and how many to build FOR HOURS.

It looked great, the scale was amazing and the gameplay was horrid.

Anno 2205 i bought when i had very limited playing time and interruptions non stop, basicly i am still at same situation because of kid etc.. But for me anno 2205 was amazing as i was running low on credits i could just leave the game on running to accumulate more while i was doing stuff in the house.. It was wonderfull relaxing game. I loved almost everything about anno 2205, during that time it was just perfect game for me.

I have played some of the first anno games ages ago but its so long ago i can't remember, i did buy anno 2070 instantly after 2205 but had not time to play that and i heard its really good too. But i do think devs did a good call making anno 2205 a bit different and trying things because you can't always do the same game with different theme but need to change other stuff too. Of course some like it and others do not.
