10x better than IGN review. So in-depth.

Lack of random maps is kind off a deal-breaker to me,gonna pick this on a sale eventually.

Finally I find a review that actually goes in depth, and answers the questions you look for when trying to find a good review. You earned a subscribe. Good work +ACG

Amazing review. Will definitely be looking to you for more reviews in the future. Very honest and informative review without trying be "hilarious" or "fresh" in a cringe kind of way. Keep up the good work mate!

Another fantastic review! Surprised to hear about the moments of low frame rate on a 980. Hopefully some driver updates and game updates will help with that. I very much enjoyed anno 2070. It's very good to hear this title is an improvement on the formula.

It is stunning. My favorite visual presentation in a game of its type. Music from Blue Byte is always great too.

You done good.👌 I kept up for the most part while looking at the pretty distractions along the way. I grasp the ideas of First, Second, and Third Dimensional Space and Time. It's budgeting in their Fourth dimensions that makes me see stars.

This game is so different from the original Anno games. I don't know if I'm gonna buy it even when 1404 is the best game I've ever played.

I rarely bother with giving a thumbs up on videos, but I gave this a thumbs up because I actually liked this review, your rating system is refreshing, and you're the first KZfaqr I've heard say to actually hit the thumbs down if we *didn't* like the review (which shows that you actually care about honest feedback). Well done!

Thank you for reviewing games as fast as you do! I was sitting on steam for an hour debating this game before I decided to check here. So far we've seen eye to eye. Don't stop

Really nice review. I realized there was a night mode only after I watched your review. I run a r9 270 and framerates can drag on my custom build as well. I loved the music scores on the moon, it was so solemn and yet so beautiful

Thanks for the review. You said no random maps. Does that mean ther is only 1 map or are there multiple ones to choose from?

Love your reviews mate. Please keep doing more. There's a lot of PC games still not covered!

still love your reviews man. Not even interested in this game, but just love hearing you go through your shpiel. Your channel is making other reviews seem VERY inconsequential

after couple of hours in the game, making the moon generator ,i 100% agree with you :)

This video was very well put together. Well done.

Good review, I saw a few on your channel lately, decided to sub.

Just bought Anno 1404 recently at a discount. I prefer that setting anyway.

Glad you're gaining more traction on youtube, you deserve it.

Great review ... and thanks for sharing. I have just ordered this game for my pc because I love building games.

Great review as always man! I am keeping my fingers crossed for a Anno 10,000 BC ;)

Hey Mr. ACG.... That's the way you review a game.. simply outstanding.!! , you've just gain a new follower. :-)

You have great reviews. Great channel. Thumbs up man.

whoa, youve really upgraded your audio since this video lol

finally a good review. When I said the game is pretty good on steam a whole lot of hate came my way. It has missing stuff yes, but I'm sure they will address some things in the upcoming dlcs, which are included in the gold version that I bought that was 60 E for pre-order.Now it's 70.

Fabulous review. I'm glad you enjoyed the game otherwise the review would have been painful. Have no interest in these kinds of games but can appreciate the amount of work/time you put into reviewing this. Keep up your fabulous content. Cheers. Out.

Thanks for the great reviews , as always.

Thanks for the review. I have to agree with you that the game looks gorgeous. It's definitely worth keeping an eye on. Also, as an old Carl Barks fan I appreciate the Scrooge McDuck reference.

Great very logical understandable review. Thank you.

It's near the end of 2017 and with the sales going on, I'm sorely tempted to buy the ultimate edition, but the reviews i've watched haven't really convinced me. So with all the expansions and dlc, is it worth buying or not?

I want to personally thank you for this review, this game is absoulutely wonderful, thank you so much for this...

The Anno series is not my thing but the soundtracks are amazing.

Awesome review man!

Hey Karak, do you have any opinion on the 3 DLC that followed after this review - If you played them that is? I am thinking of buying the Ultimate edition, as it is around £20 now (including all DLC), but still unsure...although it is good to hear that you think this is a good follow on from 2070 as that was my primary concern that this may not be the case.

Thumbed up by reflex when I heard Karak reference a Cray computer.

great review man. could you talk about or review the ps plus releases each month?

Considering its price, I'm going to wait until it goes into a decent sale but the review at least confirms I want the game. Thanks

I must say, probably as only one I totally love combat in this game :) no sarcasm, I find it somehow intersting so these combat mission I usually after 30 - 60 minutes just jump into the combat missions :)

Hi Yeah I agree, they really need to improve the main story make it far more in depth. its not going to have the same replay factor as the other games tho. combat got boring after a few goes. new DLC packs will be out jan 2016 I think so might help with the game play. hopefully they will add some new stuff coz I would hate to see this series fail.I know ive said a lot of negative stuff so let me say there are some really good things about the game. but they same to fail in the same areas they always do. plus the price is beyond a joke £60 wow

I like this game the whole story of it and being under the Global Union I think it's called and the rivarly with the other corporations. I don't always do the combat but it is their and even if you dont do them your fleet size does increase regardless but the combat is there for those that want it. I like the artic region when you unlock that and you have too worry about the heat factor adds a little more strategy about what your upgrading and what not, I havnt been to the moon yet I have started over once but I myself do enjoy it. I do really want to play Anno 1800 the new one but at like 60.00$ nooo I will wait for it to go on sale.

"Input goods missing" "Employees need more goods" I cant raise the production of vitamins, fruits and other stuff. Every time i build a new vitamine shop appears this red rotating simbol up to the house, that says this in quotes. What can i do to upgrade the "goods" in order to raise the number (production) of vitamines and fruits? Help please! ty

Amazing review! Impressive as always, game looks nice, and you always sound like Adam Sessler XD

I had actually allowed the steam comments on this game to make my opinion of it, I'm happy to say that after looking at the game, for the first time, in your review. That I'm quite disappointed with having my opinion made so quickly with not actually being able to experience the game to some degree, which I have had the chance to now through your video. And I think you for that. I'll most likely be buying this game soon now.

Thank you for the review!

the best Anno 2205 review out there.

Good review format.

Wow thanks for this review, I've been thinking of picking this up actually. Is it good for people new to city building games? If I decide to get this it will be my first city building game

It's on sale through Steam for $20 (or $30) for the Gold Edition. Is it worth that tag?

Played a handful of hours on it now, it is pretty good!

i could play on max settings on a gtx 960 at 1280x1024, i have an i5-4460 and 12hb ram. i got a steady 30fps. when i set it one preset lower i got 45fps

Don't even care about the game...just hear for the poetry that comes out of Karaks mouth

I'm not sure if I liked your review because it was that good (which it was) or because you almost literally phrased my thoughts. :)

They should go back to colonial times! Or maybe go for a viking setting.

can i use the key on steam if i buy it on mmoga?

My main issue is that the military aspect is shallow and separated from the rest. Anno 2070's combat was not as good as it could've been, but it was a part of the game. It had an impact on the rest of the game and vise versa.

If there's a memory leak issue then I;m going to pin the blame on both poor optimization and the fact Ubisoft is going to release it on the PS4 later on thanks to Amazon information.

Very good review! Cant wait to buy it!

There is a shortage of tobacco! Your people are starving! ...Anyone? 1602 and 1404 are the best Anno games if you ask me. I just want a 1602 HD remaster, that would set me for a while with Anno. Oh and a Gothic Medieval type setting would be sweet for Anno, thoughts?

thanks for the review, i will wait for sales. sick of developers releasing unfinished game.

Looks like PlanetSide, the sandbox

how are people fps going with this and what specs?

This looks like great fun. I don't know if it is worth the asking price though.

awesome review

You're my #1 go to reviewer. Better than IGN Gamespot Angry Joe and all the rest in my eyes

this is the kind of visual Cities Skylines needs, and this game needs the complexity of Cities Skylines...

To be honest, in every review I see/read I only see grids in terms of roads and layout. This is a major personal gripe I have with games such as this. I just can't enjoy these types of games without the ability to actually mold and shape the way I build. Only being able to create grid layouts is boring beyond belief to me. And the fact that there are no random maps, only increases the lack of customization/replayability. I found this review very informative though. But while the graphics look top-notch, the lack of curved roads and random maps puts this in the 'wait for sale' basket for me. In the mean time, I'll continue to spend way too much time on Cities: Skylines. Hehe.

where i find the dawm diamonds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AngryCentaurGaming, you are the best.

i have a r9 390x 1080p on very high setting lowest fps i have had was 30 fps just to let you know

I have a long history with the Anno games (It originating from Germany and stuff). Anno 2070 bored me. This one looks more promising. Hmmm. Not now, but i´ll get it. Nice review once more. I enjoy this channel immensely :-)

This or Anno 2070?

Not worth it man, amazing graffics yeah, but not a good game, I still prefer the anno 2070

1404 was amazing. 2070, I still play it. I've like 800 hours of gameplay on 2070. In my honest opinion, in a review if you are going to talk about playability, you shouldn't think about 20-30 hours or let's say 100 hours to be generous and extreme optimistic. Long-playability should be reviewed upon, +250-300 hours of non-afk playing. And this game, it doesnt have that. you can lose the grip in 8 hours but I'm pretty sure that you will complete the game in next 40 hours which makes 48 hours. Now aside from what you said that it was boring such as combat and persistent quests. Would you play this, non-changing, no random, dull game with only Eye-Candy graphics another 6 times over to complete this 300 hour I'm talking about. Because if not. I think playability should be out of the window and you need to tell it in open so people wont pay 60-70 dollars to a non deserving game. Honestly if I had free 100 dollars right now. I would buy anno 2070-1404 over and over until my money is depleted. Game is not actualy a city builder or sandbox, its a city planner. In the same space with the same amount of time, how well you can put the same buildings to get the peak efficency. Which is more of a math problem instead of a video game in my opinion (no offense to math its just the way I wanted to say it). I'll give a thumbs up because you did a marvelous review, except the points I made above. But honestly, there are hardly any good games or companies we can trust anymore. Bethesta is gone, Ubisoft is gone, Im not mentioning EA, 2k is shaking and so on. It's the job of the reviewers, commentaries job to criticize this companies about what they are doing, and by that, I mean I think there needs to be a harsher criticism. Ubisoft dumped all of us on 2070 they left the boat when there were still people onboard. They will do the same with anno 2205 I promise you. The game itself is the proof of their inability to make anything good anymore. And companies like this should be adressed harshly because they are feeding from the unknowing or uninformed casual gamer population unlike us. I didnt buy this game because I made a great deal of research on it. I knew the brand. I knew what they used to do and what they are now, and I was right. But many people didnt do that and now anno 2205 channel on steam is filled with angry people who couldnt get a refund. But nevertheless, thanks again. Just be harsher, if you actualy care about the people who are listening to your voice. Because people should be led to games which they will have fun, and also should be led to companies who work hard to achieve what they have promised, and fund them instead of this eye candy money soakers ^^

Still, I'll give it a few months, just 'till they've fixed most of the bugs.

1:54 1920p? Haha. I think you meant 1080p.

This on console?

Anno is one of my favourite game titles out there, yes, partially ruined by always online, but not anywhere near as bad as some other games. But it's very much a marmite situation, either you love it, or you hate it, because if you're in the middle, you don't enjoy it so you never play it, and thus begin to hate it.

The problem with this fucking game is that its too fucking beautiful that I want to jump inside my motherfucking monitor and live there.

red neon instead of blue isnt really tron stylings thats like every single vs game for some reason. in a strat game it always seems to be red vs blue lol

Having just played for a bit, I have to say, the framerate is lower than it should be, and the combat is simply awkward. It does look nice though.

Looks really good. Too bad it is tied into U(Don't)Play, especially on top of Steam, GOG, and Origin.

the only thing this game needed to be fun was combat within your cities maps so you could lose stuff of value and it needs randomised maps

Wait. If the game is set in the year 2205, why do you only go as far as the Moon?(or am I missing something) Great review.(as awlays)

These games just kind of confuse me. What exactly is this game? Is there a way to simply play a mode with no quests where you just build cities and what not? Or is this all quest driven?

In terms of replayability, anno 1404 or this?

I've played 4 hours today... Do I need help? xD Edit: Anyone noticed how dumb 1 or 2 ships are during fighting? Like you click to destroy a mine, instead of one of the ships firing at the mines, they sail right over it?

anno 2070 was great!!

Do you have final verdict, ACG?

anno 2205 is 41% off on GMG

Most of his complaints based on his cpu? BTW the quest(rewards) are actually needed for upgrading factories which is definitely required lategame. Anyways its a decent game. Very enjoyable city builder, not so much militairy-strategic. Wait for sale.

No multiplayer? no buy for me :( I loved doing this with others, not so much alone.

No DRM in sight? What's uPlay then? According to the Steam page it's 3rd. party DRM but what do they know?

lol how did you have low FPS I had constant 60 fps with max settings on a R9 290

the game get annoying after a few hours because of the need to change location to get certain things to keep going, eventually it feels a little to much like work...it does look good but its the same buildings over and over

If you're looking for the best Anno game get Anno 1701 from GOG.com. It's $10 and DRM free, plus it uses the true Anno formula. Anno 2205 is watered down for the mainstream market.

Love this series

I wish you wernt forced to place certain structures in designated places

I still miss Venice ....

I never taught an Anno game can crush my expectation so much, when the sweet memories of Anno 1404 is still in me, compared to the previous Annos, this is a shallow bag of asses, it looks good, runs exceptionally, but its for DUMMIES its so dumbed down is probably age 6+ because there is no micromanagement basically they took everything that made Anno Anno, its basically, build more houses to get more people, ohh more people, build more food and drink, wow you unlocked a new building, now go do some mindless boring bullcrap side-quest to not die of border after the spell of fancy graphics ware off after 3-4 hours i felt like i know everything this game can offer and its shit... On the note im not here to offend anyone, if you liked the game im happy for you, i wish i did too, its felt like the new SimCity crap EA pulled... this game feels so dumbed down , it could be run on tablets cause there inst much you can do..... no online no skirmish... this is NOT Anno to me... as a big Anno fan Gonna install Anno 1404....again for the 235325 time

1920p huh
