    Welcome to the 19th century, a time of industrialization, diplomacy, and discovery.

    Rich with technological innovations, conspiracies, and changing allegiances, this era presents the perfect setting for classic Anno gameplay. Anno 1800 provides players ample opportunity to prove their skills as a ruler as they create huge metropolises, plan efficient logistic networks, settle an exotic new continent, send out expeditions around the globe, and dominate their opponents by diplomacy, trade, or warfare.

    All in all, Anno 1800 is one of the best building games on the market, even on the console. Of course, the port in its current form is not very interesting for those switching from the PC. There is simply too much content missing and the change in handling can't be ignored. But as a pure console player, you can look forward to a top-class building game that will excite you for countless hours.

    Anno’s core strength is the cities that it allows you to create. Sometimes it does feel more like a puzzle game than a simulator, as you desperately try to figure out how to give your most demanding residents access to everything they crave. However, the satisfaction of doing it well is almost incomparable for the genre. I am a firm believer that simulation games, at their best, teach you about real-world jobs, processes, and social/cultural/environmental dynamics, whether that be flying a plane, driving a train, running a hotel or building a city. Anno does that, and it presents players with a vision for cities that will, hopefully, be the future of urban planning.

    Anno 1800: Console Edition brings the successful city builder to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. Ubisoft did a great job, adapting gameplay and controls to this new environment. "Anno 1800" works surprisingly well with a gamepad.

    Anno 1800 is a fine addition to PS5’s roster of city builders. It takes aspects of several prominent sim titles and mixes them together to make something fresh and exciting. Fittingly, Anno 1800 rules.

    Anno 1800 Console Edition will eat hours if you let it. One minute you're ruminating over where to place a lumberjack's hut, the next you're connecting a huge network of warehouses.

    ANNO 1800 succeeds in making itself playable and enjoyable on home consoles. It's rather beautiful, and the gameplay with the controller is successful, although it will take a little time to get used to it. On the other hand, if the game is nice to the eye, it has a few technical glitches that will make the less patient players complain. Some of the game's loading times are quite long, textures sometimes have trouble displaying when zooming in and the framerate seems to be slowed down quite often. It's also a shame that the game is not as well supplied as its PC version. It lacks quite a bit of content. And even though you'll already have enough to play for many hours, you can't help but be disappointed. Anyway, it's hard to sulk your pleasure, ANNO 1800 on consoles is successful and will satisfy fans of the genre.

I had never played Anno1800 before because I don't own a PC. Finally Anno1800 came out for the consoles and I'm obsessed! The control was solved very well, I'm positively surprised. One negative point: most of the time the textures have to reload. Hopefully the dlc's will also come for the consoles Expand

    Anno 1800, subpar edition. the 9, day one cosmetic DLC's was my first clue, that this game was a rip-off (glad it had free trial). I startedAnno 1800, subpar edition. the 9, day one cosmetic DLC's was my first clue, that this game was a rip-off (glad it had free trial). I started the game and it took longer than it should have to figure out how to blow up the fish. When i got my city started, i could only fulfill 2 of the 3 requirements and the game offered no tutorial or help as to how to advance. I was not impressed by then anyway and quit and uninstalled. Ubi has got so bad, it seems like obiden is working for them . Expand

    Ich bin PS Premium Kunde, konnte daher die Demo bzw. einen kurzzeitigen Testraum nutzen um mir das Spiel anzuschauen. Nach dem Download und Start die böse Überraschung! Man benötigt ein Ubisoft Konto um das Spiel zu spielen! Um es etwas übertrieben darzustellen benötige ich ein PSN Konto, ein Abo für die Demo und zusätzlich ein weiteres Konto bei Ubisoft für den Start des Games. Für mich ein NoGo!

    I tried the demo but unfortunately you need a Ubisoft account to actually play. Hard pass.
