The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A deliberate, cerebral city-building simulation where you carefully balance resources and production chains against a backdrop of a flooded, futuristic world.

What players say

Reviewers overwhelmingly say Ubisoft Connect makes the game unplayable: login loops, captcha cycles, error Jellyfish_005, and lost accounts lock out even legitimate owners. A few stick with the game, calling it a great strategy game and a favorite Anno title.
