Anno 1404 - History Edition

I really want to thank Ubisoft for wasting my time and not allowing me to play a game I paid for in the evening when i wanted play it again after 4 years. They deleted my Ubisoft account and created a complete mess with licence and connection between steam and Ubisoft. Total garbage and waste of my time, totally unnecesary

Technically, it's a very good game, but the plot of the campaign: Christians are bad, Muslims are good...therefore negative

The game is great but why does it need the Ubisoft launcher? It just adds extra hassle to an otherwise great game.

Anno 1404 - History Edition is, in my opinion, still the best entry point into the Anno series and one of the finest city builders ever made. It strikes a near-perfect balance between accessibility and depth. The game can certainly be challenging, especially once production chains start expanding, but it never feels overwhelming. There is always another problem to solve, another island to settle, or another trade route to optimize, and that's what makes it so addictive. One of the things I appreciate most about Anno 1404 is how approachable it is. New players can learn the basics without too much trouble, while experienced players still have plenty of room to optimize and create massive, efficient empires. The pacing is excellent, allowing you to slowly expand your civilization while introducing new mechanics at a comfortable rate. The campaign deserves special mention as well. It does a fantastic job of teaching the game while telling an enjoyable story. Unlike some strategy games that treat their campaigns as little more than tutorials, Anno 1404's missions are memorable and genuinely fun to play. They provide a great introduction to the game's systems and are still worth revisiting even after learning the ropes. Another aspect that often gets overlooked is the co-op mode. While the campaign itself is single-player, free play with friends is incredibly easy to set up and surprisingly painless. Sharing control over the same empire, planning production chains together, and slowly building up a thriving civilization creates a very relaxing and enjoyable multiplayer experience. Few city builders handle cooperative play this smoothly. The History Edition itself is also a fantastic package. Performance improvements, support for modern systems, and all of the original content make it the definitive version of an already excellent game. Better yet, it frequently goes on sale for very little money, making it one of the best values in the strategy genre. Even after all these years, Anno 1404 remains timeless. It may not have the complexity of Anno 1800 or the futuristic setting of some other entries, but it nails the fundamentals so well that it never gets old. For anyone interested in city builders or management games, I honestly believe this is the best place to start. It is a classic that deserves to be remembered and celebrated for many years to come.

Ubisoft just killed "Stop killing Games" in the EU, thx for that!

Перед нами истинный титан и один из лучших представителей своего жанра. Самое удивительное, что вопреки своему почтенному возрасту, игра до сих пор выглядит и играется невероятно достойно. Это чистокровный представитель классических градостроев, который умудрился собрать в себе всё самое лучшее от золотой эпохи экономических стратегий. Визуально игра до сих пор радует глаз — детализация поселений, анимация воды и общая атмосфера средневекового зодчества завораживают. Свобода выбора здесь абсолютная: игра предлагает колоссальное количество путей развития, где ты сам решаешь, кем быть и как вести свое поселение к процветанию. Из минусов могу отметить разве что местную сюжетную кампанию. Будем честны, перед нами просто растянутое и ужасно скучное обучение. Меня хватило ровно на полчаса. Зато потом я ушел в другие режимы — и залип намертво. Время здесь летит абсолютно незаметно. Рекомендую игру в первую очередь тем, кто скучает по старой школе стратегий. Но и новичкам жанра она отлично подойдёт — главное, сразу пропускайте сюжетную кампанию и уходите в свободный режим.
