Ubisoft doesn't need many excuses to make shitty PC games/ports. And yes, 2205 seems to be very simplified, but I don't know if/how that affects the enjoyement of the game. I've played Anno 1404 and sometimes I got sick of so many production issues

To me UPlay is more of an annoyance than a problem, and while I would like to not having to use it, it's not a deal breaker for me. Btw, have you played Anno 1404? How does 2070 compare to it?

You know Ubisoft, they always like to use "cinematic experience" as their go to excuse at times =P.

I normally don't mind some simplification in some games but the ANNO series isn'tr eally that type you need to simplify since the game is about managing resources, the different factions and different varieties of people to adhere to.

I didn't really get to play 1404 and 2070 was my first jump into the series, that still didn't stop me from looking back on the previous titles and looking at how they progressed. 2070 was a bit of a step up I'd say, currently it's a bit above 2205 since Ubisoft chucked out a few things from 2070 which make it suffer just a bit.

Uplay is a deal breaker for me since I just dislike their client in general, how it wants to update my games despite them already being updated or claiming my games aren't installed despite me downloading and installing them on Steam.  Then there is the whole launch the game and then get asked to install Uplay and boot it up at the same time to which their client checks for updates and the like when it's already been done, that to me creates a ton of hassle and waiting times from nowhere and it's a reason I just avoid it alltogether. At least with origin I can buy and download my games and they can be launched straight away without more DRM getting in my way. They also support launch commands like Steam and the ability to change the box art of the games themselves, something Ubisoft still hasn't caught onto yet.
