I would play the whole Anno series, but they’re Ubisoft games and incorporate a rootkit. There are too many good games that have a modicum of respect for their customers for me to pay money to be rootkited.
- volfonibros 2y agoThe first four are available on GOG, DRM-free.
- walthamstow 2y agoIMO Anno 1404 (+ Venice) is the best version. Complex but still fun.
- quchen 2y ago1404 gets samey after a while (when going for the monuments). I’d say 1800+DLCs is the same game, but with so many regions and tiers and options.
- massysett 2y agoAnno’s DRM was particularly annoying and had to phone home each time I played. This would have been fine if Ubisoft ran a reliable server, which it didn’t. Once I sat down to play and the game refused to open because it couldn’t phone home. I then learned my lesson, have not played the game since, and will never buy any Ubisoft product. Too bad, it was a nice game, maybe I would have bought some DLC. But I’m sure the pirates are still getting plenty of DLC. Instead I play Factorio and Paradox games and spend money on their DLC.
- TiredOfLife 2y agoAnno has Denuvo. So no rootkit. You are thinking of other games that have Easy Anti Cheat or something like that
- joseda-hg 2y agoI've been burned by Ubisoft before, to this day, I can't replay AC: BrotherHood because even when I launch directly from steam where I bought the game, it has some weird behaviour around linked accounts and the Ubisoft Launcher Never again, Ubisoft, never again
