2025 - March

I won this game in the crazy march madness event, so I've tried playing through it, but its not very good, and I seem to be stuck with regards to progression. I think I got like 70% of the way through? I'll try to google some to see if I can get unstuck… Maybe…

I finally played through this! It was very funny, but I think it ended a little bit too abruptly. I think I'll try play through it once more as a different coppotype! Very referencable game.

I wasn't sure if I would like Anno, I don't know anyone who plays it but I'm aware it has a large fanbase. I don't really like city builders like cities skylines (though I have hundreds of hours in a couple of sim city games when I was young). I like Civilization, but am quite bad at age of empires, I really dislike Europa Universalis.

But I decided to brave it when it was on such a super sale, buying just the base game. And I am happy I did. The way you have to build your cities around optimizing production lines makes the game feel like a mix of a factory builder and civilzation, then the boats makes trading and shipping between your own islands very intesresting, and the system lets you drill down into as much detail as you need.

Maybe the game with DLC is better, or maybe it will make it too complicated for my tastes, but the general game is something I'd really recommend if you are kind of on the fence about the genre like I am, but enjoy factory builders.
