  I cannot help feeling that this collection was not all that necessary and a greater product could have been achieved had say Anno 1503 been solely remastered or remade, where quality of life changes would have made for a truly unique experience amongst the genre of strategy titles. I don’t regret having played any of these games, after all I’ve discovered another strategy title that I do like from a series I had already written off. But will it keep me interested for months hereon or even years? Probably not.

  The games work on modern machines – but that alone isn’t enough for the price tag. If you’re tempted by the pack, boot up any of the older games you have. If you find yourself still playing, then go for it. There are indeed extra improvements and as a bonus, your old saves work on the new editions. If, however, you find you’re reminded why you bought all the sequels to these kinds of games, then I don’t think the History Pack offers enough of a return on your investment.

  The Anno History Collection is as the name implies, a collection of the historical Anno titles. Unlike other re-releases that have come out recently, this isn't a remaster or a remake, with the games coming in their original glory with a few tweaks to enable modern resolutions, allow the games to run smoothly and allow you to play online.

  Der Leuchtturm der History Collection ist aber klar Anno 1404, dank Orient, Riesenbauten, Boni-Items und seinem Ständig-was-umbauen-Flow. Jetzt weiß ich natürlich nicht, welche der vier Spiele ihr schon habt (und in welcher Version!), darum mein persönlicher Tipp: Legt euch Anno 1404 einzeln zu, wenn ihr es noch nicht besitzt, aber nicht die ganze Collection - die ist mit 40 Euro echt zu teuer. Bis ihr 1404 und das starke Venedig-Addon durchgespielt habt, kostet die Sammlung bestimmt schon deutlich weniger.

  De Anno History Collection biedt uiteindelijk vier uitgebreide games aan die elk voor genoeg uren vertier kunnen zorgen. Omdat ze niet gepolijst zijn qua gameplay, zijn vooral de oudste twee niet voor iedereen weggelegd. Toch, als je fan bent van dit genre, dan zouden alleen Anno 1701 en Anno 1404 op dit moment als History Edition wel de moeite waard zijn om aan te schaffen.
