New to the channel? I do Let's Play videos -- these are like walkthrough guides of gameplay with continuous English commentary trying to explain my decisions and what strategy I use. If you're looking for hacks or cheats, you're in the wrong place!

[@b1gbird001]

I'm impressed that you immedietly announce in the description that the game was provided at no cost. A lot of reviewers don't do that, so tip of the hat to you Quill. Transparency on this topic is an absolute must. I don't feel alienated by this review.

[@amshermansen]

+Regular Logic He _HAS_ to. Legally.

[@Foxador]

+Mansen No he doesn't

[@VonFalcon47]

+Foxador Actually he does, it's law, at least the part where you have to mention getting paid or receiving gifts in return for the preview...

[@amshermansen]

Foxador Yes he does.

[@Foxador]

Hugo Sousa Uhh yea no he doesn't. There's plenty of people that get the games for free that don't mention anything about it . Mentioning that it's a preview build is different and that's more required

[@Asmoharg]

I vote for you to convert this let's try into a full LP series, Quill...who's with me?

[@Anergyne]

yes please

[@geraldgilliam5763]

+Asmoharg I am all up for that

[@HurricaneSA]

+Asmoharg No thanks. It's really not a good game.

[@Kojak0]

Excellent playthrough, and I'm not talking about the game itself, but the narrative: I really appreciated the clear and precise commentary telling us exactly what you do and why - speed up time, right click here, left click there. MUCH better than most let's play'ers.

[@blueplanetproject77]

before i buy any strategy game, i come on youtube and watch quil18s lets play of it! thanks so much quil for the help over the years helping me choose what ones are right for me

[@shrike6243]

Production / consumption information directly on the build screen is a brilliant addition. I love it :D

[@Kyrkby]

Fuck yeah, Anno! One of the few game series where every game has been great.

[@weldin]

+Kyrkby I love your picture.

[@Billaxle]

+Kyrkby *_DUDE~!_*

[@sateviss7711]

I'm on a hype train. I wasted like 1000 hours on ANNO 1404.

[@vaultboy618]

+Eugene Pisarchick (Sateviss) Wasted?

[@WuCSquad]

+Eugene Pisarchick (Sateviss) Remember the Anno 2070 bullshit though. Anno 1404 was amazing but the things they pulled with 2070 were so stupid it killed the game for me (always online, lacking buildings, less options, one choice is clearly the best etc, UPlay stuff.)

[@sateviss7711]

Vault Boy well, you know, I definitely enjoyed the game but there's always a lot of more useful things that could be done with that time.

[@flamebeerd666]

+Eugene Pisarchick (Sateviss) "Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted." -John Lennon

[@steveaustin4118]

+Eugene Pisarchick (Sateviss) Glad I'm not the only 1 and more on 2070 + arcc 2170

[@Glegionar]

Two trucks had a fusion instead of an incident at 16:05 xD

[@Esty6]

I'm still starting Anno 2070 *sigh* so many games to play. I blame Paradox, 85% of my gaming time is spent in Paradox games.

[@iammaybeasliceofpie4674]

Anno 2070 is great! Definitely worth your time.

[@holydoggo4822]

+I_am_maybe_a_slice_of_pie to bad it had uplay...

[@degen83]

+Esty6 Yeah, most o hte games I play are Paradox games. Can't even tell you how many hours I have on HOI 2 and 3. Considering how many hours I spent on them they were money well worth it.

[@bananaman8316]

Paradox is better than Ubisoft when it comes to strategy simulation games. Blue Byte already fucked up Settlers.

[@davinator225]

i love how you know what your doing and not just randomly clicking

[@yasaswy]

Dammit quill.. Everytime I come to your channel for a review of a city building one you make me buy one.. As always thank you

[@CvanBMatthies]

This reminds me of playing ANNO 1602 during my childhood. Including slow-mode Win98 and flickering monitor tube providing eye cancer. Loved it. :-)

[@House3717]

Very excited to see the next Episode... Really diving in to the game with you as you play :D

[@NarturArkano]

Omg, I want this game so badly. I've been waiting for it ever since I heard it was coming out.

[@jameshowlett5492]

Im a huge fan of futuristic world like this in real life, but its sad to see that i wont live long enough to see this type of world come to life. Dont know if we will ever even reach this level of technology within the next century. Sad to see that life is short but always have to remember to be thankful for our life. Today, we are alive but someone out there has lost someone they love. Always remember that. Very informational vid and thanks for the on point tutorials.

[@AKeWLTuber]

Mousing over the Bio-polymer count in the top bar it has a quote that says "Cause plastics are so 2070's" and in Anno-2070 plastics are used by the Tycoon faction's 2nd tier or residents.

[@Legalmind2]

i fucking gasped when i saw this video on your channel. I FUCKING LOVE ANNO. MAKE THIS A THING PLASE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Corewarp]

FUCK. YES. Quill Anno 2205 HYPE!

[@Usmodlover]

Wow I didn't expect so many references to 2070, with the last half of the 2070 campaign being based around defeating FATHER the rouge Techs AI :D

[@mbogdanov2]

12:29 when the mouse is over the biopolymer icon: "cause plastics are so 2070" Nice take on Anno 2070 ;)

[@Legomasterfanbuilder]

+quill18 Quite interesting to see all the references to Anno 2070. Multiple of the banners where in Anno 2070, as well as seeing those arks, and transportation vehicles.

[@sebastianjansson]

I must say that Anno 1404 is one of the best game i've ever played.

[@JStankXPlays]

Its a little bit interesting how they give you something to do while you are waiting for your city to grow.

[@shadycactus6146]

with the lady in the beginning, i feel like they tried to jump the uncanny valley and ended up plunging right the hell into it. she’s incredibly creepy

[@geto6242]

Yea!!!! Finally Anno2205! :D i have been waiting for it for a LONG time :D

[@ragnhildbeate]

Please make this a let's play! I'd love to watch more!

[@Scyths1]

Uplay & always online killed anno 2070 and will probably be the bane of this one if they ever decide in the future to implement the always online aspect to it again.

[@kyleflounder9783]

+Scyths1 I never knew that Anno 2070 was always online. I really hope 2205 isn't always online, but being Ubisoft and their infinite "genius", it'll be almost guaranteed that way.

[@theColJessep]

+Scyths1 I'd love to play this but I won't touch Uplay with a ten foot pole. =/

[@kyleflounder9783]

Nathan Jessep Wow! First I came across HMV on a BDubs video, and now I find you watching one my other top channels. Nice to see ya again! :D

[@theColJessep]

Kyle Flounder Hi Kyle! I've been watching Quill for a long time but I don't comment often.

[@Wolf-zt9ue]

+Scyths1 There is system of world market but I didn't touch it yet so i don't know how this affects gameplay but for now as I am i think in the late game you should be able to play without the internet without any problem.(Sorry If I made any mistakes english is not my first language).

[@VoiceofMxB]

I love this series. Great city manager and production sim

[@Classic_Frog]

Quill, the game looks very good. Would you mind zooming in every now and then so we could look at the details? You know, houses, pedestrians, vehicles?

[@jaysongorissen6290]

I LOVE ANNO I PRE-ORDERED THE COLLECTORS EDITION

[@shayt321]

I am totally willing to skip my biology lab to watch this becuase I am just so excited.

[@richleyrich]

Excited to see more of this game! Great vid

[@amshermansen]

Finally someone who didn't break the embargo. :)

[@eheroedog]

Well what a surprise, Just recently I was continuing to finish Anno 2070 guess I now know what to expect, Thanks to that dialogue >

[@KuddlesbergTheFirst]

And in the Next Anno there would be few to several alien factions that could be enemies, allies, rivals, or trading partners at least? Conquering or protecting worlds in countless galaxies.

[@Stonkzy]

This game is so under rated

[@Yayanonymity]

Love this series of game. More!

[@robertbennett6410]

It's awesome that you get such great perks like access to this preview build.... It sure would be nice if there was a demo version for us regular people to try before we drop $60.... sigh

[@AnimeIsMyThingz]

was looking forward to this game

[@matthewperry1582]

I'm can't wait to see some more that I anno

[@happeningdc8756]

Wow... you are an amazing instructor...

[@vaughantruelove1757]

Quill18, started playing this b4 seeing your You Tude here. Notice you are using same icon as I used - the cat. :)

[@fredericamarshall4250]

uploaded on my birthday ♥

[@plemgrubern]

can't wait for this!

[@RMJ1984]

So this game is like Tropico ? but without El president! Glorious leader.

[@conordrewett4074]

I was battling not watching this video cause I wanted to experience it first hand, but fuck it, I need to see this game!

[@garrioch]

looks like a good series

[@Wardawn]

looks great still would be interesting to see more game play. just happy to see it's not a city xxl game were you have to have 8 core Pro and a mega GPU to build a road lol. thank quill for let play. it was a nice show but im going back to city skylines and unity game development stuff.

[@quarthinos]

I don't know if you've played 2070, but at 19:39 your cursor is over what looks like the sunken wreck of F.A.T.H.E.R., who was the nuke-dropping AI mentioned in the quest intro.

[@seanjankowski9016]

I'm on the edge about this one -- mostly because of the change in combat and competition. Also, of what I have seen, I feel they may have simplified the game a bit. Nonetheless, ill still probably get it and hope my fears are not true.

[@Vernaleer]

well... Quill just sold it to me ^^. "pre-ordered" 2h before launch!

[@Palaschurk]

Looks cool but minimalistic so far. You could do that on a Tablet with so few stuff. Kinda sad how Strategy and build up games get lesser amount of content and effort in them because of user firendlyness it's like they assume we are retards. I did not play a Anno title in a long time but i remember there has been a lot more content in them.

[@amshermansen]

+Bainin Red This has just as many features (if not more) than the City builders before Tablets existed...

[@Palaschurk]

+Mansen Might just be me Playing to mutch DF xP well i did not see all buildings so far so im not judging to hard it seems not everything is visible from start.

[@amshermansen]

Bainin Red It starts out very slowly - Keep in mind you have three different biomes. Ice maps have different types of buildings, and so does the Moon.

[@lanague6890]

+Bainin Red around 5% of anno games content is unlocked at start, the only tablet thing in this game might be the combat, which looks to be very crappy.

[@Afronautsays]

+Bainin Red This is the first mission of a campaign of a citybuilder game. Think about all the 1st missions you ever played in a citybuilder.

[@77SilentAssassin77]

You better be uploading more of this, Quil. I ain't playing.

[@Sentinalh]

Looks like this game is VERY different from 2070. I like that, doing things differently is always good. It looks beautiful so far. I am so jealous, I want to play this game so badly now.

[@Sentinalh]

Cameron McAllister This game also seems to do away with the farms, where you needed to place sub buildings around the main building, which I actually liked but this is good too.

[@Sentinalh]

Cameron McAllister I really like the look of this game though, the way the terrain changes so much when you build on those coastal and mountain slots is awesome.

[@DerDosko]

May be a silly question, but: Are UPlay and "always-online" involved?

[@amshermansen]

+insert .username Yes - And no, not entirely anyway.

[@Zanbatoss]

Actually there is kinda soft drm in the game, if you wanna trade with global market you gotta be online and connected.

[@amshermansen]

Vebri Valentino Mhmm. I have to say it's probably the best approach they could have taken for people without access to online capability. At least your cross-region storage isn't locked down, like it was in 2070.

[@kevinclaus8996]

btw searching for the divers in the city might be a good idee because in anno 2070 if you had a find quest they are always in or around city's

[@jackychen2953]

I can't believe in 2205 we still need roads and everything need to connect to roads.

[@Pixelkvist]

Quill, I love you...

[@MrSuperXToast]

SO HYPED

[@PetarBlazevski]

How much details are included in this game, compared with Anno 2070? For example ship (and other buildings/vehicles) modules are not in this game. And another thing is not having storage. Is this more like a "lite" version of Anno 2070, or are there some other things that i haven't seen them so far? And one more thing, what kind of game modes does it have?

[@charliebrown6460]

It is a preview.

[@TenyoS]

It needs a mod for those of us who gag at the suggestion that organic food is somehow superior.

[@muffinz2410]

Love how range is not really a thing anymore. Hated how you had a perfect city design and then you had to break parts down to insert all the special buildings

[@Candystripedshredder]

My big brother majored in Astrophysics and he loves video games. I'm thinking of getting him the Collector's Edition for Christmas. Do you think it would be a suitable main present?

[@barrydonaldson5093]

this a good looking game will defo buy this one thanks

[@mcrrocksall2]

I know this is a little bit of an older video but the game looks like it functions like Tropico a little bit I have been looking for a game to play like this.

[@MrSilvermatch]

Yeaaaaaah Anno !!!

[@BiddinWar]

Houes only give max pop if you meet all their demands, since you can't provide information, their last demand, you only get 75% or so pop ability from houses.

[@matthewperry1582]

that game looks fun keep it up

[@savagepolarbear5810]

Great job keep it up!!! Gained a new sub!

[@micaiahstevens]

Cliffhanger, will he find the diver in time; can he rescue the lost diver... awwwww!!!

[@neolithiumproduction]

So pretty. Also...not only did you level that worker to an operator, you changed his gender. @.@ I'd love to buy this someday...but my current computer won't be able to handle those shiny graphics. xD

[@a7madfriends]

why the game audio is low , not only here, but in more than one gameplay I've seen on youtube ? .. is there a policy or something?

[@IIIErebusIII]

I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO DO THIS LOL.

[@Garsemor]

The map looked a little familiar... than the AI that started dropping nukes got mentioned and I immediatly realised that the map was a stage from 2070.

[@quarthinos]

I would say its a city builder in the same spirit as Ceasar, etc. Which is, as you say, not a city builder like SimCity. Anno 2070 had E.V.E. as your helper, this one has A.D.A.M. Do I see a trend?

[@fl4shb4ckGaming]

+matesc e. So Anno 2500 will have William Shatner, the only God I know :D (sarcasm ofc)

[@Sentinalh]

+fl4shb4ck1992 There wont' be a 2500, the numbers in all of the Anno titles add up to 9.

[@DerAstrophysikerr]

+quarthinos Neon Genesis Evangelion confirmed

[@Sentinalh]

matesc e. Very unlikely since they've already used those exact numbers in 2205.

[@VineFynn]

Definitely Anno 3330. Or Anno 3033. Or even Anno 3303.

[@kyleflounder9783]

Quill, will you be doing a Let's Try of RCTWorld when it releases in mid December? I'd love to see the game before I buy it; especially with how shaky its development has been and how many times they've changed everything.

[@ThePeteweng]

Yes! Anno!

[@patrykw1047]

this game is so good

[@bobanesz736]

Forgive because I'm new to Anno but I'm just curious can some explain to me what's the difference between this and Sid Meier's civilization games?

[@Billaxle]

NPC: Hey, you know that rouge AI that almost killed everybody? I kinda want to revive it. That cool with you? Me: Uuuuuuuuh....

[@joao_goncalves]

I wished we could see more of the Virago, the Arc Prototype from 2070.

[@amshermansen]

Whaaa? A "show off the map" scene that flies over the landscape in an almost horizontal angle is slower than top down? Shock, horror!

[@TotalJustinGaming]

the older anno's are much more fun

[@VenDettaDarkStar]

do a full lets play please? xD

[@IvanOtac]

Is this game gonna work on my old PC...i could run Cities Skylines but on low details and laging like crazy,so i want to know am i gonna be able to play this game without lag,no matter the details.

[@CHEERS_FEEL]

I hope Ubisoft has learned a thing or two about the huge backlash against Uplay DRM. A lot of people were detracted from 2070 because of that.

[@mjamesw2]

Do product sources no longer have fields?

[@arienrivendell]

i really need save/load features like previous games. it will help me a lot

[@thecheeseslicers9129]

She said it was just paperwork at around the 6 minute mark; I can imagine people will wonder why the phrase is called paperwork in the future :D

[@VengD]

This looks like the equal of an open world fps where the sequel turns into a linear corridor shooter.

[@gatekeeper1024]

i got a preview version too and the full version is only slightly different

[@murdoch8522]

Thank god for something new, was starting to wonder if I should un-sub. I haven't watched a single thing you've posted in almost 2 weeks because you're only playing games I intensely dislike due to their lack of action/play.

[@dopepope5601]

I had the old time anno on my iPad once

[@ashishjha7255]

Hay where can I get it from..? Where do You get it bro And like every this is a good walkthrough

[@hammockmonk]

"Denalin..IZA..tion" plant. But I loved the review. Thanks!

[@CLK1973]

Seriously digging this game. Not sure it's worth $59 though. I'll just keep watching you for now.

[@Medevildragonman]

Hey Quill, what are your PC Specs?

[@samuelconnolly347]

Game looks fantastic, but an absolute pet hate of mine is when people put apostrophes in years when they are used as adjectives e.g. '...so 2070's' at 10:32. I really, really hope this was proofread before the actual release.

[@Marius2Rocker]

It looks good. Very good, actually, but I don't think I'll Call it a Anno game...

[@Zanbatoss]

Make the same game as previous anno and people will rant and rage, saying its just a reskin. Basically everything bluebyte do is going to be shit on after 2070 because people afraid of change

[@potatomcdonalds2649]

But it is an Anno game.

[@Lukazoid1]

I hope they correct the spelling of algorithm at 17:13
