The island management, ship and fleet management, upgrade path, and characters all feel very classic ANNO, and that's a good thing!

This game takes some of the best improvements that 2205 gave us, with 90% of the classic ANNO gameplay, for a great playing game.

Beautiful graphics and artwork, perfectly tuned music and sound effects, varied and interesting NPC characters and interactions, and most importantly it's just a heck of a lot of fun to play.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
So concept is quite amazing, multi island logistics chains that have to travel continents and be optimized for efficencys sake, though the game is another ubisoft mess that barely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ works.
