My advice: jump aboard Anno 1800
It’s rare for me to buy games through the Ubisoft Store, but I’ll at least take a glance whenever there’s a seasonal promo. Right now through July 8,Ubisoft is hosting a summer sale with PC game deals.
This is my opportunity to tell you thatAnno 1800is worth a lookif you’re partial to city-builders. While we’re still seeing activity in the genre with games likeCities Skylines, there’s something to be said about rolling back the clock. I’m not always in the mood for a modern-day setting and everything that entails.
Anno 1800isn’t the simplest of games, particularly when it comes to running multiple island outposts across multiple maps with trade routes tangled between them and other factions bothering you, but it starts off easy enough. Once you get a feel for the infrastructure and your people’s needs, it’s bliss.
No, really! Laying out cities one block at a time inAnnois among my favorite things I’ve done in video games this year. There’s always room for improvement, and before I know it, hours have flown by.
Ubisoft Store Summer Sale Best-Sellers
That’s just the top of the list. There are 245 games and DLC packson sale, with lots of legacy titles included. Remember when Ubisoft madePrince of Persiagames? Those were good times.
As an aside, if you saw a troublesome message on Uplay earlier today, you weren’t alone. Some users were warned their account was “accessed from another location” when, in fact, it wasn’t. The error was “due to [a Uplay] service outage and not because your account was compromised,”Ubisoft said.
