#Old games anno 1602 series

Yet when the game released, it was a shallower experience than I was looking for and I consequently didnвЂ™t take the plunge of purchasing. I even remember feeling quite excited for the release of Anno 2025 back in 2015 after seeing its promotional footage.

#Old games anno 1602 series

This feeling is evoked by the middling reviews and lacklustre appraisals recent titles in the series have received.

Yet, in all this time, Anno has never stood out to me as a series that I would reach anytime soon. Games like Alpha Centauri and the original Starcraft are where I have found the most joy, amongst the entire catalogue of Total War games. As a result, I have been slowly making my way through the back-catalogue of titles that I missed during my formative gaming years when I was mostly enamoured by James Bond PS2 spin-offs. On one side of the coin, action titles take a bit more of a mental effort for me to play these days, which is something that cannot be said for a good strategy title which will draw me into months if not sometimes years of interaction. Their structured and refined systems of progression have provided many, many hours of relaxing and engaging gameplay. Anno, the real-time, city-building strategy series is something of an enigma, to me at least, for reasons that will become apparent.ДЇirstly, let me preface this review by saying that strategy games have become my favourite genre to spend my time with ever since reaching a semblance of maturity.
