We think rankings are just great. That’s why we’re going through the major game series one by one and sorting them from the best to the worst – at least in our opinion. But games are a matter of taste, so of course other opinions count too. Especially yours!
Maybe you remember: A few days ago we asked you to take part in a survey about your favorite Anno. As always, your answers are extremely interesting. Furthermore, your ranking coincides shockingly closely with ours. Only two placements are swapped.
This is how you voted on Anno

and favorite game
explained:

mean. For me, Anno 1800 is the best because it is simply the most complete. However, my favorite part is still 1602, as it got the ball rolling and created an incredibly great series that always delivered very good quality and always came up with new and exciting ideas.
Further down in his comment he also mentions a convenient feature of Anno 1800 that sets it apart from many other games:
The great thing about it is that with each new, complex step you can decide for yourself whether and when you want to use it.
