Time marches ever forward. So it is in life, and so it is with the Anno series, which glided into the future with its previous installment,

I appreciate some of the newer tweaks in Anno 2205. Bridges now connect your islands, and you do not have to worry about traffic jams. Modules allow you to upgrade structures by using surrounding land to enhance their production. And Anno 2070's ark has been replaced by a spaceport, which rockets a space shuttle towards the moon when the time comes, much to the delight of your applauding populace. There's also the matter of Anno 2070's always-online requirement, which has been unsurprisingly scrapped for Anno 2205.

And yet I didn't get to participate in any missions, make contact with other civilizations, or engage in combat when I played. Without having a sense of Anno 2205's unique flavor, it was hard to get a handle on anything beyond the basics. The game is quite literally shooting for the moon--and I hope that the coming months reveal more about Ubisoft's PC exclusive before its November release. Until then, all I can do is fill in the gaps with my imagination, and hope that reality meets or exceeds the fantastical scenarios my mind concocts.
