March 2025
This game is a fun introduction to city builders, but it does get old pretty quickly. I started running into the same cave maps after three runs, which was disheartening, and the game stays pretty much the same all the time. I think this game would be really good for kids 10-15, or anybody who enjoys lighthearted, easy gameplay with a cute aesthetic. If you're really into building cute, well-organized, decorated towns and looking at them then this could be a good platform to do that on. If you're an experienced fan of city builders, you could skip this one. I would highly recommend Against the Storm as a game that will last you longer and have more variety.

I was surprised at how little content there is. I have beaten the game in about 6 hours. I would call it "Anno for Dummies". Barely any real production lines, needs are not building up, so you could make small towns of workers, engineers, aristocrats, etc., since they don't share needs. Nevertheless, the game was more or less what i expected. I thought it would be a bit longer, but i had fun with it. A small, simple game, for when i was bored, and didn't want to think. PS: Playtime only with base game. Just started another one with Mechanised DLC. The first mine is now as big as the last was. So my prediction is: With DLC about 10-12 hours for a chilled playthrough.

This is a very chill game. If you are looking for a challenge, you are probably not going to like it. But if you want to take a break from challenges, it's nice.

Cool little game. Neat story. Doesn't overstay it's welcome. Doesn't have any annoying traps to fall into. Overall if you're looking for a pretty chill building game - A+

Played through the game 4 times. Each time takes 6-9 hours to play through. 2 times with base game on normal and hard difficulty. 2 times with the mechcanized expansion. Game is alright! For your city builder or factorio fans it's very, very light and simple. It's more like a well made and solid introduction to the basic concepts of ANNO, City management and Factorio. A fun game and enjoyable time. But the time is short and the game is done and dusted quickly.
