Before Ubisoft put out Anno 1800 in 2019, the series had already firmly established itself as a major presence in its genre. The first three entries to a building and strategy game titan that rivals the likes of Tropico 6, Civilization 6, and Stronghold launched in 1998 (with Anno 1602), 2002 (Anno 1503), and 2006 (Anno 1701) before the most recent entry arrived. While the original versions of those games are a bit tricky to go back to, all three have also been remastered as ‘History Editions.’ Even better, they’re all massively discounted on Steam right now.
