Anno Frostpunk.
How on earth is this any similar to Frostpunk? Because it has snow and heaters? Come on...
@@aaronjohnson2215 I thought this video was from Frostpunk when I saw it.
Failed to see 95% of the game, sees 1 map and calls it "Frostpunk" xD
YESSS
Yes but the Anno series introduced this mechanic with Anno 2205 which came before Frostpunk. Not that these petty things really matter...
The moment I heard arctic, I immediately thought of
- anno 2205
- Heating
- those damn circles of heating
I'm so glad they're going with the road reach like the other buildings
Yeah its essentially the same as the Factory building in a way, needs a resource, uses roadreach, and makes people happy/warm!
A true winter map, all I ever wanted.
I'm so glad they decided to explore interesting landscape variants in their expansions, I've yet to play the game myself but I can't wait, I'm currently putting together a new PC to play all the games I've wanted to play this last 6 years but haven't due to a lack of dedicated graphics card. So even though I'm basically a full generation behind Anno is absolutely in the top 10 of the first games I'll be downloading. I've kept an actual list during the period and it is over 400 titles with 50 must haves.
If you're ever bored and interested in playing a weird, 90's era builder that practically nobody talks about anymore have a look at Constructor, I loved the art style and tone when I was younger.
How will you ever have time for that haha. I can play one game per year and only by neglecting other parts of life
Great video! Definitely going to pick this DLC up.
Great overview, thanks!
Heheh... John and Jane "Faithful"... "Hades" and "Styx"... "Baffling" Island, three men lost there...
I see you, Franklin Expedition.
You know, DLC Title alone, "The Passage" sugested that.
Great overview! Well done.
Danm there's so much more to anno1800 then I thought.. so much to learn & the more DLCs the more to learn. Thanks for the video 🙏
"Each of the DLCs increase the amount of money you make" are you talking about the player or Ubisoft SO OVERPRICED
I mean it's 15$ for a full season 1 pass... 3 DLC so each for 5$, that really isn't that much... And that's just an everyday Uplay sale, if you search you can find the passes even cheaper...
@@mataskart9894 He is probably kid who never worked. Because these DLC are fucking cheap for what they provide.... If he has job he would have know that this is not overpriced at all...
@@mataskart9894 Hello, i sadly live in a third world country and Anno series is the most expensive game I ever saw just after Sims series. Anno 1800 complete pack is 1/5 of minimum wage for me.
@@aknsanl4223 damn... Try hunting for deals? I got Anno 1800 for 13$ at one point, and the Season pass 1 for 5$, haven't bought season pass 2 since there haven't been any
I dunnoo try to buying for Ubisoft was expensive to me, but i go to Epic Store and get a Discount of $10 so just cost me less than half i was to pay in ubisoft, so we that money i can buy the Season Pass 1
Reminds me of "The Terror" on Netflix
The background story is very likely based on the tragic lost expedition of Rear Admiral (promoted posthumously) Sir John Franklin
in " amazon "
This man deserves more subscribers at least 7 mill. You have amazing content and I love watching your videos
Thanks 🙏
You just know that the makers of the Anno series watched AMC’s The Terror and thought, “that would make a good DLC. :D
remind me of frospunk alot
@Jeffrey Simmons Dude thats my opinion you have problem with that ?
@Jeffrey Simmons its a joke, not a dick. Dont take it up the ass.
@Jeffrey Simmons considering Frostpunk was literally only heating citizens and ice, I'd say its definitely like frostpunk, Anno is just x998 less boring and depressing.
@@theragie0986 Less boring? No. Less depressing? Absolutely.
Love the reference to the Franklin expedition
It looks gorgeous
Some of those shots in the snow look photo realistic.
People see snow = Frostpunk. Wonder if they dont know snow is a real thing
never seen snow in my life because i live in the equator, yet frostpunk did not even came in mind.
it's like those pleb who compare game to minecraft and such just because they one similar element or something.
because you hold a gun with a crosshair doesnt automatically make it a call of duty clone, gee people
Well.... Frostpunk is happens somewhere around the steam engine revolution... And Anno 1800 is that revolution...
"You can go anywhere"
"So it's like GTA"
"You can build anything"
"So it's like Minecraft"
Ah, internet era gamerz
Anno keeping it -100 with us. Cool to see that they've been icing out the Steam age.
Alright, I gotta freeze them puns, utterly terrible.
Amazing video, as always. Thanks for the review!
wow that's cold
One of the years best games
Looks Cool 🥶 😉
I’m buying but first I gotta get through impretor of Rome
Would love too see an Anno game set in ancient India, war elephants and ground conflict like 1404 had.
would be great if it was available in steam
Once I get my airship running I
Get rid pirates once of all
If we don’t see tuunbaq I’m rioting
So basically Anno 1800 meets Frostpunk.
AI did ventured into this region. The Arnachist AI venture in so much earlier than us and airship seems loitering over the Old/New World faster than player...
Whats it with frozen wastelands and beautiful music. This DLC and Frostpunk have great scores.
wish these types of games allowed you to build in a pattern other than gridlock
This is why I strongly dislike the DLC's route they took since 2205. That game had the problem as well that there wasn't much interaction between the DLC sessions and the rest of the game. Kinda sad that they did this again with 1800. I'd rather have them make one big expansion as they did with 2070 and 1404 and then just have things interact more and make the distribution of resources more challenging.
How do you setup the new co op mode?
I want the fog come back in the whole Anno world for more strategy gameplay
enable it
Looks a lot like frostpunk
Behind ubisoft's yearly far cry and everything needs to be loot based style of gameplay. Ubisoft delivered one of the most creative pc game this year! I hope they do the same for it's other franchises
Anno 1404 had pretty much everything from this, exept for the map that was all in one back then.
So, they just renewed 1404 and added transitions instead of having everything in 1 map :P
Sounds like a ton of work just for gas. At least the 2205 arctic gave you resource to improve all your production lines.
7:44 how does simply activating sunken treasures make the game easier? Is there some sort of passive buff? I have it activated but I haven't settled there yet. Genuine question I'm a new player, thanks
Sunken Treasures grants you and only you a massive island to colonize.
I fear my PC won't be able to cope with another map...
I don't see a co-op mode in the free week version
But I like the rescue story of lady jane and sir john.. it's tragic and heart felt..
The AI does, most certainly settle up there. And it's annoying as *hell* when they do. If you go to war with a faction with airships, they settle islands faster than you can destroy them. That, and the arctic plateaus can only be conquered throuhj shares.
Do you need Engineer level in single player to reach the Arctic or can you also access this immediately in the sandbox?
sandbox is the same as the campaign, so if you haven't yet found out, you need to reach Engineers for it ^^
Matas Kart thank you!
@@uneCENT no problem :)
i think anno is gearing up for a fantasy steam punk spinn off
ready for anno 7110 lads
I would love that personally
@@RepublicOfPlay to be fair i whould too.
I tot I'm watching frostpunk update
Frostpunk got an update lol
So imagine this racket: Ubisoft pushes this dlc on every game owner/player, whether they like it or not. Then if they don't pay for the dlc, their existing base game suffers unexplained damage and refuses to run. If they agree to pay for the dlc, their base game magically resurrects and their can continue playing. So, pay for dlc or lose your existing software. It would be a wonderful scheme if Ubisoft could keep it quiet, or make it seem like "bugs". Hypothetically speaking of course.
I could not imagine that.
@@RepublicOfPlay It's not really about imagining it, it's REALLY about keeping it quiet. There's always a leak. Always.
Did this game get active pause or is that feature still absent?
Absent, I believe by design they dont want to add it.
@@RepublicOfPlay Thanks for reply. That kind of sucks, as it was the only thing that stopped me from playing when vanilla got released. Multitasking is not my strong suit, and minor issues i start ignoring cascade fast as its hard to keep eye on everything. Having speed that is half or quarter of current default minimum would do wonders.
@@Sarsol1989 I'm a big Paradox and sim city fan, very used to the "active pause" concept and miss it. Can this be slowed down at least? Playing 1404 and haven't found out how to do it.
It might be the best DLC yet but gives nothing but few more hours of play. It's flat as any advantage of expanding in Arctic is that you can get gas for power plant that require no trains - yet another thing that makes base game easier. By why would you want to expand Europe region further? There is no reason so these gas plants are only for those who want to build endlessly in sandbox. This game should let you progress to new era maybe, or let you work towards some great wonders, monuments or accomplishments - this is missing there. No additional depth or difficulty added unfortunately with this expansion. This game needs an expansion like Deep Ocean was for 2070.
Cold war era, planes, aircraft carrier, a third tier in the new world, revolutions in your new world colonies, Use propaganda to cause unrest in competitors colonies and maybe even allow you to support a revolution on a competitors new world colony helping it break free to become a new ally or puppet. THis might require the new world to get bigger islands.
The worst part is that requires zinc. Unless playing with abundant resources, zinc is very scarce and effectively requires beating all the AIs into submission to afford the oil lamps
@@stanimir4197 you need docklands. Overproduce something like cigars and then send it back to the old world and trade it for brass or zinc or whatever
Well thats seem close to the dlc from Annno 2205
When will it be on steam
Not sure. On steam you’ll still need uplay, so i’d just get it on uplay tbh.
Do you have a creator tag at the Epic games store? I used RepublicOfPlay, i hope it works (edit it didn't :( )
I dont, i have the game on uplay
I hope there will be a proper Expansion to the game! DLCs are just too little and fragmented addition.
but if you get all of them, season 1 and 2, they become a pretty big thing... That is if you buy all of them and spend like 40$ on sale for the 2 seasons or an extra 30$ on the ultimate edition IF on sale...
oml post something plz, post imperator rome plz
Im streaming imperator rome tomorrow if that helps. www.therepublicofplay.com/imperator
Anno 1800 is a amazing game. But it's too expensive.
that's why we have websites like cheapdigitaldownload, it's $14.99 there :D
it's 33 euros right now (45% discount).
Its.
1212AD mod review !?
Maybe, would rather wait until its more complete from what I’ve seen
@@RepublicOfPlay Public beta is out since yesterday that's why I asked the usual TW CZcamsrs are doing campaign let's play already.
I bought ANNO 1800 on Steam before it was unlisted but game was a laggy mess. I couldn't play it at 4k at all (I can play all other games except Kingdom Come Deliverance at 4k). But your review makes me want to install Epic and try again. Maybe stuttering at 4k is gone now?
Just buy it on uplay itself and this is really heavy on your pc specially if you set your settings high+.
us trailer
Frostpunk's prequel lol
Funny you say that, because on Jan 23rd a frostpunk prequel is coming out, the last autumn dlc.
Spoilers
You can actually find santa himself in the arctic, and when you do, your explorer will make a comment about how they are so surprised
Co op?!?
Bet it all melted away now
I really wish they had focused on different cultures -
-more tiers in the new world, Arctic etc.
-more building, crops, production chains etc.
-different buildings and population types for the AI and vice versa (possibly different routes of who and why we should ally or destroy to get those resources)
AND less on sooo many fishes, animals etc.. I put that down once and then put down the game cos there is nothing interesting in putting a fish down on a square.
Different cultures and production chains would have kept me playing more and longer!
Beautiful game but I wish the game had focused on the core of a city building sandbox.. instead of collectibles.
These airships are a little too steampunk for me. A bridge too far for what was a game that felt a little more grounded.
It's actually not far off from real early airships.
*Ubisoft has gone crazy.*
Anno 1800 is almost exactly like Anno 1404, but with transitional maps instead of "all in 1".
Only differense is better graphics...
Atleast they could've added the function of roads like in Tropico, where the buildings snap to the road and can curve... But no...
This game is an "easy" _(if you work with development on this level)_ to create game with prebuilt functions for Blue Byte to work further on.
It's sad that Ubisoft exploit gamers for it.
And to top it all off, they hold parts and release them as DLC's just a short time after original release...
Because €100 isn't enough for a copy/paste game with extra graphics...
I’m not sure how you can call it copy paste when you also mention the transitions between sessions at the same time. Thats a major technical difference. Further, the game design is much different to 1404, in 1800, your population tier can only work certain buildings - this is a huge difference as in 1404 you can have no population but still have workers in buildings. In 1800 you can’t have production islands with nobody on them because of this. Then there’s the expeditions, the influence mechanic, the co-op and multiplayer, dynamic time of day/lighting none of which are in 1404.
@@RepublicOfPlay actually coop multiplayer is a thing in 1404. Besides, you are talking details over core gameplay...
@@RepublicOfPlay My main point is still the price. Maybe you are having an easy life with nice income and can afford stupidity but that doesnt make it right.
Mr Schmorgus wow it’s almost like since 1602, back in the mid 90’s, the game was about creating a settlement, on an island, and you... wait for it. Progress. And guess what? They make a new game every 4-5 years and get this. It’s almost the same base mechanic but... wait. For it. A theme change in the year it takes place. Relax. This studio of Ubisoft has made amazing games over the years you’re entitled and sad
@@twidleedee2487 Calm down fanboy.
I used to love Anno games. Can't play them anymore because they are a major time sink. And they are all so similar that eventually I got bored of them. Much like how Creative Assembly keeps releasing the same Total War game. No innovation.
those poor whales :(
Yeah but I wanna is a time to come pick up the kids tomorrow morning ggtfvcc b
I didn’t love it, too hard for too little
Time to colonize Canada
I hate 1800. If it were distributed by steam id have gotten a refund
That’s a shame, I love it, only played 1404 and 1800 but prefer 1800
Lamest dlc..like none of the resources you can get here is too essential in old world..sure the arctic looks nice..but keeping your people warm is pain in the butt..plus the basic buildings like charcoal kiln, timber,caribou camp and farms, they demand lots of spaces..so it's not the best dlc because it's not boosting your main island and it doesn't give you great advantage..
This kind of game should be perfect with utilization of multiple cores. But it probably uses 2 at the most like pretty much every other game.... Wasted opportunity imo.
Cores shouldn't affect you being able to play it at 4K - resolution is predominantly handled by your GPU. The game runs really well for me with everything maxed out (except for AA) - but I only play on 1080p - I'm using a GTX980ti GPU and a i7 5930k cpu
My bottleneck was the Ram. Reaching 16Gbs easily
The "narratives" are terrible to begin with. This game has the worst writing in any contemporary strategy game, and that's unfortunately quite an achievement. Looks brilliant, though.
The pyrphorians stuff in the main campaign was cliché, but the writing in the passage i have found rather atmospheric. Opinions I guess...
I haven't bought any of the DLCs, found them to be too expensive, so I can't say anything about The Passage.
@@mausklick1635 The story is based on the real life franklin expedition like the Terror series, so it's something different
Arctic story is actually quite interesting but very short. Agree writing is poor for the series. Also this DLC doesn't add any depth other than few hours of gameplay.
Uhhh. Your comment from 4 years ago unfortunately, not true😅.
It's not worst. I mean yeah sometimes kinda awkward.
But it's YOU that need to change the mindset.
The PLAYERS in EVERY ANNO GAMES especially here anno 1800, represents the company. Yes, company. Not a government or nation or something.
Like Dutch VOC in Indonesia. It's a huge company.
