Why is Anno 1800 so fun?
Anno 1800 provides players ample opportunity to prove their skills as a ruler as they create huge metropolises, plan efficient logistic networks, settle an exotic new continent, send out expeditions around the globe, and dominate their opponents by diplomacy, trade, or warfare. Anno 1800 is one of the most fun city-builders I’ve played in a long time. The construction of your city isn’t as complex as Cities: Skylines, but the complex supply and demand mechanics make Anno more action-packed than many combat oriented RTS games.Now that it’s the most successful game in Ubisoft’s 25-year-old city builder series, Anno 1800 is the first entry in the series to be ported to consoles.That said, if you’ve never played an Anno game and you had to choose between 117 and 1800, I’d recommend 1800. It has had years of polish and bugfixes, not to mention DLC that make the game very expansive (if you enable all the DLC). And it being an older title means it’s a lot cheaper and often on sale.
