1800 is not bad and all are great, but 1404 is best one indeed. Still play it. God what a great game history.. so many hours i have spend on this game and would do it again in a heartbeat. Love playing 1800 now with all DLCs.
@@lucascb8446 I'm both playing Anno 1800 and Anno 1404 (multiplayer is still active) currently, and I have to confirm. Anno 1404 looks amazing (that water!), supports my 21:9 screen and has great performance. Such an amazing game (with Venice add-on of course). Unfortunately there is a bug which makes the game crash every few hours. Anno 1800 improves on gameplay, graphics and keeps the spirit, though I'm not happy with some things. Let's hope they'll patch and bring good DLCs and it will be better than 1404.
Its a shame. 1503 is the only anno i never played. Ibuyed it 2 months ago.i played it 3 times. Error and closing the game. I played all annos 1602 on uplay. But 1503 crashed every time. Didnt understand this.
Anno2070 was the first one for me too and tbh I fucking love the setting 2070 is in 1800's gameplay is better for sure but.... my love still lies with 2070
Anno 1404 ist 10 Jahre alt, spielt grafisch und spielerisch aber immer noch ganz oben mit! Einfach zeitlos. Anno 1800 ist da ein würdiger Nachfolger für die nächsten 10 Jahre! :-)
Ich weiß Anno 1404 hat einen schlechten Ruf für sein Militärsystem aber ich finde dieses indirekte Variante mit Abstand die Beste. Vermisse Landeinheiten echt in Anno 1800 aber ansonsten echt super.
naja grafisch ist es nicht mehr das gelbe vom ei wie 1800 eindrucksvoll beweist, aaaaber es hat einen schönen grafikstil und ist damit wie eigentlich die ganze reihe ziemlich zeitlos und davon abgesehen geht es doch viel mehr um das gelungene spielprinzip ich persönlich finde auch 2205 noch ein gutes spiel und einen mutigen schritt in eine andere richtung, es ist nicht das was man von einem anno erwartet und den militärpart hätte man besser ganz gelassen... aber alles in allem fand ich sogar das noch gut persönlich sind meine favoriten ganz klar 1404, 2070 und 1800 in keiner bestimmten reihenfolge, denn alle haben ihre vor und nachteile
Played Anno 1602 as a kid and was hooked immediatly. Played 1701 again in my early twenties and fell again deeply in love with the game. I did not enjoy Anno 2070 and skipped 2205 also. But a year ago I bought 1404 in the Steam Sale and the magic was there again. Now playing Anno 1800 and it is amazing. Amazing how they brought the Industrial Revolution to life!
1404 has to be one of the best games I have ever played, I still go back to my teenage years of playing it in 2008 with great amounts of nostalgia… Absolute undeniable classic.
Anno 1404 is still my favorite game of them all, I have more than 1k hours invested in this beautiful game! I remember one time when I played it with my older brother (who introduced me to it), and we played one map for 26 hours in 3 days. Golden Memories!

I loved the 2070's scenario and also the existence of diffrent fractions but the 1800 definitely is the best and most complex anno with the newspaper and the need for population on every island, love it
I think the complexity really depends on how you look at it. The logistics of 2205 were incredibly complex in my opinion because you had to handle so many different sectors.
@@Micsmit_45 I played 2205 too but maybe I forgot something, but Anno 1800 now with 5 sectors (4 unique) is pretty hard to handle too! Just saw the screen in the video, it does look like more. I'll have to replay the game too see which is really harder, anyway really happy with the difficulty of 1800
just because it adds more maps and ornamental customization it does not make it more complex--if anything, it is unnecessarily overwhelming. Games are meant to be enjoyed, while instead of having to juggle between five maps and who knows how many vassals, they could have implemented a one large panoramic map to explore while maintaining depth. The game of course is still a masterpiece, but more depth and a focus on simulation would have been perfect.
@@hummingbir6 Anno 1800 is damn near perfect complexity wise. If it were simpler (without the need to juggle the different game areas etc.) I doubt it'd keep you entertained as long as it does. Just all the late game content alone. It's my second favourite Anno of all time (second only to 1602 for nostalgia reasons)
@@hummingbir6 I don't feel the game doesn't have enough depth, although I agree one large map would be extremely cool, but maybe not achievable on mid range hardware. Having the different sessions allows for easier expansion especially with generated world. Playing Anno 2205 know feels weird having to load the world every time, while anno 1800 allows quick switching. Also I feel with 1800 you have to watch for enemy ships and pirates, while the default game is quite non eventful in 2205.
I remember playing Anno 1602 wayy back in like 2004 or so, I was 12 years old. That's when I first found the Anno eries and immediately fell in love with it. Around the same time I found The Sims, Zoo Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon. I'd spend literal HOURS making maps on Anno 1602 lol
It's interesting to look at the GameStar ratings for the Anno games: Anno 1602 - 88/100 Anno 1503 - 87/100 Anno 1701 - 91/100 Anno 1404 - 91/100 Anno 2070 - 90/100 Anno 2205 - 85/100 Anno 1800 - 89/100 I wish the expansion(s) of Anno 1800 will boost its rating even further ;)
I see your Anno 1503 and raise you a Port Royale 2 and Sacred 1. That being said, I did and do play loads of 1503, and you're right about it being beautiful in both art and sound.
I think that at the moment it isn't very popular because expansion (Deep Ocean) or some patch broke it. You will be stuck in endless restart loop, because Ubisoft/Bluebyte couldn't be bothered to make their launcher autoupdate the game with Deep Ocean compatibility (version 2.0). You need to download it manually from their website, disconnect from the internet (sic!), apply update, connect back, launch the game, restart, get it to autoupdate (finally!) and there you go, easy.
I've spent countless hours on these series, mostly between 1701, 1404, 2070 and 2205. I know 2205 is controversial because it strays a little too far from the formula, but I still enjoy it immensely, it is still challenging in its own way, while being much less rushed and frantic.
@@RyuRanXII I've been at it for 5 straight hours today. Since I walked in the door from work. Player lvl 51, population 51,000. 4,000 investors, 3,000 scholars, 140 million in the bank and 50,000 a minute coming in. 91 hours of game clock. All DLCs active. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Possibly the best computer game I've ever bought. I've probably played about 600 game clock hours since it came out. Can't wait to see what season 3 DLCs are going to do. Im glad this game isn't crack, I'd be broke and on the streets. LMFAO! I may be an Annoholic, maybe?
@@shelbyseelbach9568 touche ... I am at lvl 54... Trying to master it with three hard AI's ... minus madam kaheena... It gets challenging as investors only give 1 influence per building instead of 3..
I remember when my cousin was playing Anno 1602 , he was always ranting about not having time to go outside because he didn't had enough spice xd I still haven't played this game but i will always have good memories him screaming WHERE IS MY SPICEEEEEE MAN ;p
I only have 2070 and I think it's solid, but I can absolutely see how the aesthetic departure REALLY shocks you, from a romanticized past into grimy near future to remind you how the close we are to it and how dull and oily it is, when really, we are here to escape in a world of our making.
In my case, it WAS the future games (2070 and 2205) - I grabbed 2205's Ultimate Edition add-on when it went on-sale for a then-scandalous $10USD ; that sale lasted for years. As much as UPlay was complained about online, I had no problems with it. Like Anno 2070, 2205 has a killer OST (it's included with the Ultimate Edition).
I'm really happy to see a long running game series still delivering quality games... the expectations were high and after 2205 fans were really worried but damn did they a good job with 1800
I remember when my mom got me and my sister Anno 1602 when it first came out. I originally hated it cause I didn’t understand how to play. I thought you just sailed a ship around. And then one day I discovered the tutorial and it was downhill from there. My parents had to force me off the computer, I spent so much time playing it.
1404 was my first one and one of my favs too! I'm absolutely loving 1800 - I think they pretty much knocked it out of the park. I have a few qualms about it but overall it's a great game.
1602 - i have thousands, and i mean thousands, we are talking all of my childhood here of hours playing this game xD - had to stop playing it since i upgraded to windows 10 - even using the gog version it just, keeps on crashing ... shame. 1503 - I played this game somewhat, but my attention was mostly in anno 1602 it just gripped me way more, besides, i was playing other games on the pc such as Day of Defeat, Myth of Soma (MMO), Rollercoaster tycoon and theme hospital by this time. 1701 - Completely ignored this one as it must have slipped under the radar for me, only found out about it when i stumpled upon the DS version, gave it a pass. 1404 - Played this a lot, hundreds of hours, i recently purchased the steam version. 2070 - My god i love this version of Anno, absolutely fantastic, clocked in over a thousand hours easily - shame about the always online crap they rolled out, but if you ignore it the game is amazing, its pretty much 1404 except set in the future - this was the first time i ever spent hundreds of hours just beautifying my islands!! LOVE IT!!! 2205 - Erm ..... i sort of liked it ..... but it felt like it was trying WAY to hard to be an something different, this unfortunately left a bad taste in my mouth and was largely ignored, it didn't feel like an anno game at all, though i did clock over 300 hours in it, so i atleast tried to give it a fair go. 1800 - Well ... this one is a mixed bag for me ... 3 days of trouble shooting on and off, busy busy, why it was making my system bluescreen ... yep, no idea to this day why it did it, me messing around with settings both inside the game and system settings it just, stopped - but i got a new one, my system would just, switch off! Wut? i later found out it was a Vsync related issue (NEVER use adaptive Vsync for this game - i tried this setting after i was bluescreening from default settings to see if i could prevent the bluescreens, only for me to find adaptive just causes my system to shutdown with no bluescreen crash haha), the framerate has been an utterly abysmal experience where it took several hours to try and see what settings i could get away with using the gtx960 4gb for over 50fps gaming atleast, only for me to just get so flustered with how shitty this games code is that i just gave up and set everything to low on 1080p meh ... Apart from that, im enjoying the game a lot, except there are some things that make utterly no sense, again, dodgy code here, my city is happy, all green smiles in the house when you look at their happiness scores, and yet .... they still choose to riot like its a forced event or something, it just begs the question, why is happiness even a thing i should care for if you'll force a riot on me anyway just because i unlocked the police stations ..... lame, one riot happened at the fishery, why? because there was not enough workers apparently as this was the issue that came up, i checked my workers aka farmers and it was at +273 (no negatives even for workers etc etc ..... right, sure, you go riot over something that is not an issue ¬_¬ or you know, because i didn't build a police station nearby because there wasn't a fuggin need too. Also, i have NEVER cared for questing in Anno games, just pure sandbox mode, YES i love that its separate in this game! Noice noice! yet you CANNOT turn quests off! - the reason is because its linked to AI difficulty and some "beautification" items are locked behind them ... so lame ¬_¬ - you are FORCED to do quests for them because you cannot turn it off only set to "Rare" and if you decline their quests you get -3 reputation - doesn't sound like much right? even on RARE setting they kept offering WAY to many and i declined them all as i didn't want to quest! (they give money and trinkets that can make your game a fuck-ton easier, Nuh uh, i want to play and build up my own empire on my own merits, trading with the AI accordingly, not get a quest that gives me +10k at the start of the friggin game! i set my starting cash to 35k FOR A REASON (the lowest you can set it), not get free money and items for less then 10 seconds of work, screw that - before i even made it to the Soap stage on my first ever playthrough, 2 of the 3 ai's went to WAR with me because i didn't do their forced quests! LOL .... kay Ubisoft, nice way to get BlueByte to code utter shit into their game just to add a rushed difficulty and a rushed product that clearly, CLEARLY needs huge amounts of patch work .... /rantover lol
I think second part of your post about Anno 1800 explains the first one. With DLC Anarchist there are quests given not only by AI Players or NPCs, but also by your population members. Some of them, Anarchy-related are "negative" Quests - dont have reward, but if you dont make them, you will be punished. And this can be riot (or arson, or explosion. Once when I miss one of those, they destroyed part of only road to few my mines)
Und da ist der Witz mit der Bewertung von GameStar: Anno 2070 soll mit 90 das bessere Spiel als Anno 1800 mit 89 sein. Auch wenn es nur ein Punkt ist, 1800 ist ja wohl meilenweit besser als 2070.
Punktebewertungssystem ist sowieso mittlerweile veraltet. Heute heißt es immer das 90+ immer gespielt werden muss und alles unter 90 ist crap, dabei sind viele 70% Spiele meist unterhaltsamer als der generische Blank polierte Kram. Außerdem natürlich schwierig alles up to date zu halten. Man sollte sich nie nach dem Score richten... der ist eher für einen Quick Overview.
@germanfighter34 Nachdem ich Anno 2070 im Sale gekauft und dann gespielt hatte muss ich auch sagen, dass Anno 2070 einer meiner Lieblinge ist. Für mich das komplexeste Anno.
Sagen wir so in Anno 2070 habe ich nach 30 Minuten überall Atom u-boote in Anno 1800 ( was derzeit mien Favorit ist ) habe ich nach 12 H gerade mal ingenieure
I believe Anno1404 was the one that brought most people to this saga. Anno1800 is also very popular and very similar to it, but I prefer the older one.
Anno 1800 is the perfect game to me. I can spend all day in my cities and never get bored. Season 4 just ended, and I'm curious to know if there will be a season 5, or if they're going to move on to the next installment in the franchise.
Der Soundtrack von Anno 1602 hat sich in meinem Gehirn eingebrannt! Den hab ich damals sogar noch in Anno 1503 portiert, weil ich den damals so gut fand.
1503 was the one I was hooked on as an 8 year old kid and gave me beautiful memories. I also had a good time with Anno Online and the other multi players who were very helpful. Too bad that it's off the air though. :(
No Anno, out of all, will have a bigger place in my heart than 1602. Though, Anno 1800 also has a significant part of it now - the only things missing: land units and loads of nostalgia 🤪
Must’ve been living under rock, because I didn’t know about the Anno History Collection. Will definitely be buying. I still play 1602 to this day. It plays fine on my Windows 10 laptop. I also play 1701 on my old desktop computer with Windows XP I wish 1692, 1404, 1503 and 1701 could come together in one big game
Even tho not a lot of people like it, but I really love 2205. Playing it for the second time right now and I so love that economic system, atmosphere and music...
IAnno 1602 was my first game I played against real persons, we stayed in our company and played it over the network there on Pentium 133. Beginn 16:00 End sometimes at 2 am in the morning
Anno 2205 is so good, it's a brillant masterpiece. DLC had made this game absolutely amazing and engaging like in the old times. The decisions they took with interface, logistic and population make this game really like no other, establishing a high mark and an example to the industry. Also it has such a great scale, you have Arctic, Moon, Earth, Tundra and Orbit regions, 11 different population levels (arctic and tundra guys are pretty similar, but nonetheless), million-wise numbers of population, ten-thousand-wise numbers of electricity in the region, hundred-thousand-wise numbers of balance, and 2000+% effectivity on production facilities. The graphics are incredibly great as is soundtrack. I am a long time Anno fan (since 1701 in 2006), love all entries, and just wanted to note how good 2205 is. It addresses many of my child dreams about ideal Anno game. Don't overlook this game, it's extremely good and is a step forward for the series. If feedback on 2205 wasn't so divisive we could have by now an Anno game with a full Solar system to colonize. I think we'll though be getting it maybe next time.
Anno 1602 alway will be my favorite game. i remember my mom playing it in our windows 95 pc while i was looking at her.. i will really miss all this little moments one day..
Love the anno games! Grew up with 1602, still listen to the soundtrack. Still love 1701 the most because of remembering staying up all night playing it with my dad. Then 1404, which is a masterpiece. Playing 1800 now and it is a great game.
i always felt like the land battles were pretty clunky and not well balanced. i like anno 1800´s way of conquering islands, although it would be great if you could keep the enemies buildings once you conquered the island.
@@nils0riz0r You know, I don't think that is the point. Sure the mechanic was never perfect but they should have fixed it instead of abandoning it completely.
@@ohno6528 yeah, but that studio doesn't exist anymore. Bluebite has tried and tried again for the last 20 years and personally I'm glad they finally gave up.
Anno Online was my first Anno game and im really into 1800 right now but 1503 is looks super charming, i never played it but i will get it no matter what.
I hope they make another futuristic version even further than 2205. The beauty and mind blowing design of the futuristic stuff slightly warms my frozen heart.
Nice video of one of the greatest game series of all time! Still, I'm highly disappointed that you for some reason didn't put in the 1701 soundtrack which is the most intriguing one in my opinion
Conclusion - anno always has a great soundtrack .. Best Soundtrack 1404 - best game 1800 ... from today's perspective. Each game had its own fascination in its time.
Played 1602 as a small child (or at least watched how my parents played), played 1701 later and then 1404, 2070 and 1800. 1404 will always be my favourite game of these and the nostalgia of 1602 is incredible.
imagine 1 game called ''Anno 0 to future'' starting age 0 ends 2100... with 3 type of culture involved. after time ends you can age up. like age of empire style but in Anno.
I don't know if i am the only person who remember a Ano 1404 but is for sony ericsson, where u can move with a center button, that's make me feel nostalgic C:

just because it adds more maps and ornamental customization it does not make it more complex--if anything, it is unnecessarily overwhelming. Games are meant to be enjoyed, while instead of having to juggle between five maps and who knows how many vassals, they could have implemented a one large panoramic map to explore while maintaining depth. The game of course is still a masterpiece, but more depth and a focus on simulation would have been perfect.
@@hummingbir6 Anno 1800 is damn near perfect complexity wise. If it were simpler (without the need to juggle the different game areas etc.) I doubt it'd keep you entertained as long as it does. Just all the late game content alone. It's my second favourite Anno of all time (second only to 1602 for nostalgia reasons)
@@hummingbir6 I don't feel the game doesn't have enough depth, although I agree one large map would be extremely cool, but maybe not achievable on mid range hardware. Having the different sessions allows for easier expansion especially with generated world. Playing Anno 2205 know feels weird having to load the world every time, while anno 1800 allows quick switching. Also I feel with 1800 you have to watch for enemy ships and pirates, while the default game is quite non eventful in 2205.
Good old 1602 times
Im playing ANNO 1404 Venice ;]
same, just installed the imma mod for a newish experience :D
Me to. I like it.
We are on the same boat mate
More people are since the history edition was released!
I remember playing Anno 1602 wayy back in like 2004 or so, I was 12 years old. That's when I first found the Anno eries and immediately fell in love with it. Around the same time I found The Sims, Zoo Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon.
I'd spend literal HOURS making maps on Anno 1602 lol
What the f*ck, are you me?!
Played all those same games :D
And me?! I played Anno 1701, Anno 1404, Rollercoaster and Zoo Tycoon. And yeah Rome Total War
1404 and 1800 are my favorites :) Love this series
Anno 1503 will forever be my favorite Anno.
i have the same, never gets old, just love everything
It had everything from the beginning!
Agreed, 1404 would be on top for me if the combat system was the one of 1503, just because i like the oriental stuffs a lot^^
2205 Was awesome 1800 Was Epic and 1404 Will always be that Legend Boiii
It's interesting to look at the GameStar ratings for the Anno games:
Anno 1602 - 88/100
Anno 1503 - 87/100
Anno 1701 - 91/100
Anno 1404 - 91/100
Anno 2070 - 90/100
Anno 2205 - 85/100
Anno 1800 - 89/100
I wish the expansion(s) of Anno 1800 will boost its rating even further ;)
1800 is stunning
Anno 1503 was a bug ridden mess at release and it only got 1 point less than 1602.
That's strange.
@@bobbobson110 Wut? I played it for 10 years and never had a single bug lol
It definetely has and will do so even more as the season 3 has just been announced !
1800 is bad optimized abd cut so many features from 1701 and 1404
Anno 1602 was definitely ahead of its time. After almost 20 years, I recently started a campaign playthrough again.
I remember my dad playing Seven Cities of Gold and being enamored with the graphics. When Anno 1602 came out it was like something from the future.
1503 is the most beautiful 2D-Iso Game to this Day. And the Soundtrack was also fantastic.
I see your Anno 1503 and raise you a Port Royale 2 and Sacred 1.
That being said, I did and do play loads of 1503, and you're right about it being beautiful in both art and sound.
This was my entry title and most fond of. The best in the series I believe to be 1404 overall though, especially the Venice addition
Anno 2070 anyone?
*guys its a still a great game*
Vikb yeah have like 800hrs still playing
I think that at the moment it isn't very popular because expansion (Deep Ocean) or some patch broke it. You will be stuck in endless restart loop, because Ubisoft/Bluebyte couldn't be bothered to make their launcher autoupdate the game with Deep Ocean compatibility (version 2.0). You need to download it manually from their website, disconnect from the internet (sic!), apply update, connect back, launch the game, restart, get it to autoupdate (finally!) and there you go, easy.
Very underated, loved it.
Yup best ANNO GUI 👍
@@Sarius_24 nice
I've spent countless hours on these series, mostly between 1701, 1404, 2070 and 2205. I know 2205 is controversial because it strays a little too far from the formula, but I still enjoy it immensely, it is still challenging in its own way, while being much less rushed and frantic.
2205 sucked, it is more an Anno themed game than it is an Anno game.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 as somebody who doesn't like the normal anno games too much, 2070 and 2205 were my favourite. the others aren't really for me.
@@roccociccone597 Everyone has different tastes. These two are the oddballs out of the bunch.
can we all just agree that every single entry of the series had top notch soundtracks? even the black sheep 2205 had amazing music
Great series. Anno 1800 looks absolutely fantastic!
IT IS!
@@shelbyseelbach9568 Indeed it is. Love the game.
@@RyuRanXII I've been at it for 5 straight hours today. Since I walked in the door from work. Player lvl 51, population 51,000. 4,000 investors, 3,000 scholars, 140 million in the bank and 50,000 a minute coming in. 91 hours of game clock. All DLCs active. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Possibly the best computer game I've ever bought. I've probably played about 600 game clock hours since it came out. Can't wait to see what season 3 DLCs are going to do. Im glad this game isn't crack, I'd be broke and on the streets. LMFAO! I may be an Annoholic, maybe?
@@shelbyseelbach9568 touche ... I am at lvl 54... Trying to master it with three hard AI's ... minus madam kaheena... It gets challenging as investors only give 1 influence per building instead of 3..
For the record: At 1:35 I decided to use my entire weekend on a new game of 1503.
I remember when my cousin was playing Anno 1602 , he was always ranting about not having time to go outside because he didn't had enough spice xd I still haven't played this game but i will always have good memories him screaming WHERE IS MY SPICEEEEEE MAN ;p
spice must flow
@@jebise1126This hits differently after we had Dune in theaters 😂
1800 had one of the best game scores I’ve heard in a long while, absolutely incredible music.
I've just purchased all the anno pc games. i look forward to playing them
im glad they went back to the old timey feel of anno. that future stuff didnt look fun to me
I only have 2070 and I think it's solid, but I can absolutely see how the aesthetic departure REALLY shocks you, from a romanticized past into grimy near future to remind you how the close we are to it and how dull and oily it is, when really, we are here to escape in a world of our making.
I like 2070 because its just the same like 1404 and just provides much more content but I strongly dislike 2205
cause we aren't related to the future stuffs yet..
@@t3hsourcey Well 2070 won't be oily unless it's synthetic. Because if we keep it up the way we do now, we'll run out of oil before 2070.
In my case, it WAS the future games (2070 and 2205) - I grabbed 2205's Ultimate Edition add-on when it went on-sale for a then-scandalous $10USD ; that sale lasted for years. As much as UPlay was complained about online, I had no problems with it. Like Anno 2070, 2205 has a killer OST (it's included with the Ultimate Edition).
I played 1602, 1404 & 1800
1800 is stunning, a masterpiece
I'm really happy to see a long running game series still delivering quality games... the expectations were high and after 2205 fans were really worried but damn did they a good job with 1800
The first Anno game I ever played was Anno 1701 on the NDS. Jump to Anno 1800, simply beautiful game with such a majestic soundtrack.
Thomas Chen me too bro
I remember when my mom got me and my sister Anno 1602 when it first came out. I originally hated it cause I didn’t understand how to play. I thought you just sailed a ship around. And then one day I discovered the tutorial and it was downhill from there. My parents had to force me off the computer, I spent so much time playing it.
The soundtrack kicked in from 1602 and I just was hit with a massive pile of nostalgia that i was not expecting today. Hit me right in the childhood.
Just listening the soundtrack of each game makes me feel good.
I most like anno 1404 :)
1404 was my first one and one of my favs too! I'm absolutely loving 1800 - I think they pretty much knocked it out of the park. I have a few qualms about it but overall it's a great game.
Same
I´m playing it still today, fighting for all achievements ^^
In my opinion 1404 is the still the best anno game
1602 - i have thousands, and i mean thousands, we are talking all of my childhood here of hours playing this game xD - had to stop playing it since i upgraded to windows 10 - even using the gog version it just, keeps on crashing ... shame.
1503 - I played this game somewhat, but my attention was mostly in anno 1602 it just gripped me way more, besides, i was playing other games on the pc such as Day of Defeat, Myth of Soma (MMO), Rollercoaster tycoon and theme hospital by this time.
1701 - Completely ignored this one as it must have slipped under the radar for me, only found out about it when i stumpled upon the DS version, gave it a pass.
1404 - Played this a lot, hundreds of hours, i recently purchased the steam version.
2070 - My god i love this version of Anno, absolutely fantastic, clocked in over a thousand hours easily - shame about the always online crap they rolled out, but if you ignore it the game is amazing, its pretty much 1404 except set in the future - this was the first time i ever spent hundreds of hours just beautifying my islands!! LOVE IT!!!
2205 - Erm ..... i sort of liked it ..... but it felt like it was trying WAY to hard to be an something different, this unfortunately left a bad taste in my mouth and was largely ignored, it didn't feel like an anno game at all, though i did clock over 300 hours in it, so i atleast tried to give it a fair go.
1800 - Well ... this one is a mixed bag for me ... 3 days of trouble shooting on and off, busy busy, why it was making my system bluescreen ... yep, no idea to this day why it did it, me messing around with settings both inside the game and system settings it just, stopped - but i got a new one, my system would just, switch off! Wut? i later found out it was a Vsync related issue (NEVER use adaptive Vsync for this game - i tried this setting after i was bluescreening from default settings to see if i could prevent the bluescreens, only for me to find adaptive just causes my system to shutdown with no bluescreen crash haha), the framerate has been an utterly abysmal experience where it took several hours to try and see what settings i could get away with using the gtx960 4gb for over 50fps gaming atleast, only for me to just get so flustered with how shitty this games code is that i just gave up and set everything to low on 1080p meh ...
Apart from that, im enjoying the game a lot, except there are some things that make utterly no sense, again, dodgy code here, my city is happy, all green smiles in the house when you look at their happiness scores, and yet .... they still choose to riot like its a forced event or something, it just begs the question, why is happiness even a thing i should care for if you'll force a riot on me anyway just because i unlocked the police stations ..... lame, one riot happened at the fishery, why? because there was not enough workers apparently as this was the issue that came up, i checked my workers aka farmers and it was at +273 (no negatives even for workers etc etc ..... right, sure, you go riot over something that is not an issue ¬_¬ or you know, because i didn't build a police station nearby because there wasn't a fuggin need too.
Also, i have NEVER cared for questing in Anno games, just pure sandbox mode, YES i love that its separate in this game! Noice noice! yet you CANNOT turn quests off! - the reason is because its linked to AI difficulty and some "beautification" items are locked behind them ... so lame ¬_¬ - you are FORCED to do quests for them because you cannot turn it off only set to "Rare" and if you decline their quests you get -3 reputation - doesn't sound like much right? even on RARE setting they kept offering WAY to many and i declined them all as i didn't want to quest! (they give money and trinkets that can make your game a fuck-ton easier, Nuh uh, i want to play and build up my own empire on my own merits, trading with the AI accordingly, not get a quest that gives me +10k at the start of the friggin game! i set my starting cash to 35k FOR A REASON (the lowest you can set it), not get free money and items for less then 10 seconds of work, screw that - before i even made it to the Soap stage on my first ever playthrough, 2 of the 3 ai's went to WAR with me because i didn't do their forced quests! LOL .... kay Ubisoft, nice way to get BlueByte to code utter shit into their game just to add a rushed difficulty and a rushed product that clearly, CLEARLY needs huge amounts of patch work .... /rantover lol
My Anno 1602 doesn't crash on Windows 10? I have the original CD
I played the GOG version of 1602 all evening today, and no crashing. Try setting the compatability to 98/ME.
I had problems running the cd version on Windows 10. After i uninstalled and just cracking it it worked fine.
I think second part of your post about Anno 1800 explains the first one. With DLC Anarchist there are quests given not only by AI Players or NPCs, but also by your population members. Some of them, Anarchy-related are "negative" Quests - dont have reward, but if you dont make them, you will be punished. And this can be riot (or arson, or explosion. Once when I miss one of those, they destroyed part of only road to few my mines)
Und da ist der Witz mit der Bewertung von GameStar: Anno 2070 soll mit 90 das bessere Spiel als Anno 1800 mit 89 sein. Auch wenn es nur ein Punkt ist, 1800 ist ja wohl meilenweit besser als 2070.
Punktebewertungssystem ist sowieso mittlerweile veraltet. Heute heißt es immer das 90+ immer gespielt werden muss und alles unter 90 ist crap, dabei sind viele 70% Spiele meist unterhaltsamer als der generische Blank polierte Kram. Außerdem natürlich schwierig alles up to date zu halten. Man sollte sich nie nach dem Score richten... der ist eher für einen Quick Overview.
@Jonathan Wischnewski "nur" 1000 Stunden? x'D da geht noch mehr!
@germanfighter34 Nachdem ich Anno 2070 im Sale gekauft und dann gespielt hatte muss ich auch sagen, dass Anno 2070 einer meiner Lieblinge ist. Für mich das komplexeste Anno.
Für mich sind Anno 2070 und Anno 1800 die beiden bisher besten Annos. Der 1ne Punkt Unterschied ist mir da einfach pups.
Sagen wir so in Anno 2070 habe ich nach 30 Minuten überall Atom u-boote in Anno 1800 ( was derzeit mien Favorit ist ) habe ich nach 12 H gerade mal ingenieure
I believe Anno1404 was the one that brought most people to this saga.
Anno1800 is also very popular and very similar to it, but I prefer the older one.
Anno 1800 is the perfect game to me. I can spend all day in my cities and never get bored. Season 4 just ended, and I'm curious to know if there will be a season 5, or if they're going to move on to the next installment in the franchise.
Anno 1404 - best Soundtrack by far
I'm glad that their porting anno 1800 to consoles this year, can't wait for 16th of March
My first game was anno 1503, I was hooked on it. No other game combines elements of simcity and age of empire so well
Der Soundtrack von Anno 1602 hat sich in meinem Gehirn eingebrannt! Den hab ich damals sogar noch in Anno 1503 portiert, weil ich den damals so gut fand.
Anno 1602 is still one of my fav games. Such relaxing gameplay and music
anno 1602 bleibt für immer in's gedächtnis gebrannt mit Greensleeves (der titel vom lied) *edit der titel von dem ANDEREN lied während des spiels
All the years of Anno games add up to 9 and that's a nice detail
1503 was the one I was hooked on as an 8 year old kid and gave me beautiful memories. I also had a good time with Anno Online and the other multi players who were very helpful. Too bad that it's off the air though. :(
No Anno, out of all, will have a bigger place in my heart than 1602.
Though, Anno 1800 also has a significant part of it now - the only things missing: land units and loads of nostalgia 🤪
Anno in BC would have been great, imagin ancient egypt Rome, greece
it would fit well since ancient greece was mostly independent islands which is what anno is all about
Hope they will choose this theme this for the next Anno!
Anno 1080 BC ... sounds good °L°
reminds me of Age of Mythology
Must’ve been living under rock, because I didn’t know about the Anno History Collection. Will definitely be buying.
I still play 1602 to this day. It plays fine on my Windows 10 laptop. I also play 1701 on my old desktop computer with Windows XP
I wish 1692, 1404, 1503 and 1701 could come together in one big game
ANNO 1701 on the DS was my first ANNO game.
ANNO 1404 my first pc one. Spent so much time on both.
Feel like crying when i hear 1602 soundtrack
Oh, die Musik vom ersten Anno-Spiel... das weckt Erinnerungen!
nr.1 Anno 1404 Venice
nr.2 Anno 1503
nr.3 Anno 1701
I have not played Anno 1800 enough (OB only) to rank it.
Even tho not a lot of people like it, but I really love 2205. Playing it for the second time right now and I so love that economic system, atmosphere and music...
when i was younger my mother showed me her old anno 1602 and anno 1503 cd's, have been playing them till today
IAnno 1602 was my first game I played against real persons, we stayed in our company and played it over the network there on Pentium 133. Beginn 16:00 End sometimes at 2 am in the morning

Anno 2205 is so good, it's a brillant masterpiece. DLC had made this game absolutely amazing and engaging like in the old times. The decisions they took with interface, logistic and population make this game really like no other, establishing a high mark and an example to the industry. Also it has such a great scale, you have Arctic, Moon, Earth, Tundra and Orbit regions, 11 different population levels (arctic and tundra guys are pretty similar, but nonetheless), million-wise numbers of population, ten-thousand-wise numbers of electricity in the region, hundred-thousand-wise numbers of balance, and 2000+% effectivity on production facilities. The graphics are incredibly great as is soundtrack. I am a long time Anno fan (since 1701 in 2006), love all entries, and just wanted to note how good 2205 is. It addresses many of my child dreams about ideal Anno game. Don't overlook this game, it's extremely good and is a step forward for the series. If feedback on 2205 wasn't so divisive we could have by now an Anno game with a full Solar system to colonize. I think we'll though be getting it maybe next time.
Anno 1602 alway will be my favorite game. i remember my mom playing it in our windows 95 pc while i was looking at her.. i will really miss all this little moments one day..
I'm still waiting for Anno 2016...
2025, 2034
Anno 1602 has the best sound/music, change my mind
I can't change it, sorry
Anno 2070 I love this music..
and the ingame menu is marvellous :)
1404, 2070 and 1800 all have insanely good soundtracks... 1800 gives me nostalgia feeling even if I only played it a few months ago
my God Anno 1602 - I'm even playing it nowadays at times - Anno 1800 is so amazing too :D
aw man that Anno 1602 soundtrack! i still love that!
why is sum of all digits in anno title always 9?

anno ratings as of complete fucking amazement:
1800>2070>1404>1606>1701>1503>CANW>AO>2205
I finally just start 1602 again and childhood memories are flooding in......man I'm getting old
Feel it
WOW ANNO 1601 for a 2006 game looks way ahead of its time incredible crystal clear graphics and textures great work
1701? yes. altough 1404 just kills it considering it was 2009. looks f...ing amazing.
I still love 1602.
The music and the atmosphere are my childhood memories...
Love the anno games! Grew up with 1602, still listen to the soundtrack. Still love 1701 the most because of remembering staying up all night playing it with my dad. Then 1404, which is a masterpiece. Playing 1800 now and it is a great game.
If Anno 1800 had land battles, it would be the unrivaled champion.
i always felt like the land battles were pretty clunky and not well balanced. i like anno 1800´s way of conquering islands, although it would be great if you could keep the enemies buildings once you conquered the island.
I always hated the implementation of the land battles. They didn't really suit the rest of the game.
@@nils0riz0r You know, I don't think that is the point. Sure the mechanic was never perfect but they should have fixed it instead of abandoning it completely.
I mean Anno 1602 had great land battles
@@ohno6528 yeah, but that studio doesn't exist anymore. Bluebite has tried and tried again for the last 20 years and personally I'm glad they finally gave up.

I hope they make another futuristic version even further than 2205. The beauty and mind blowing design of the futuristic stuff slightly warms my frozen heart.
Nice video of one of the greatest game series of all time! Still, I'm highly disappointed that you for some reason didn't put in the 1701 soundtrack which is the most intriguing one in my opinion
1800 is breathtaking
still got the 1602 box with me. amazing game!
Conclusion - anno always has a great soundtrack .. Best Soundtrack 1404 - best game 1800 ... from today's perspective. Each game had its own fascination in its time.
Thanks for an interesting childhood, Anno series
Komplette Nostalgie bei anno 1404 ... Alleine die Musik macht mir gute Laune ... Mindestens 5000 Spielstunden 😍
Played 1602 as a small child (or at least watched how my parents played), played 1701 later and then 1404, 2070 and 1800. 1404 will always be my favourite game of these and the nostalgia of 1602 is incredible.
Anno 1701 have the music from Anno 1602, pls give Anno 1701 his music
2205 looks really cool when it zoomed out of the planet
si es incleible
which one is the best for a new player? huge civ 4 fan btw
I liked the art style of 2070 and 2205. Though I did enjoy the simplicity of the trade in 2205.
imagine 1 game called ''Anno 0 to future'' starting age 0 ends 2100... with 3 type of culture involved. after time ends you can age up. like age of empire style but in Anno.
And where is the all mighty 9?
No 9, no Anno !

I don't know if i am the only person who remember a Ano 1404 but is for sony ericsson, where u can move with a center button, that's make me feel nostalgic C:
