I’ve been revisiting anno 2205, infamously the ugly duckling of the Anno series of RTS games. I don’t mind so much the fact that it’s different, lacks customisation and random map generation - I’m bothered because the game is so slow to progress through on challenge settings, and it feels like a game designed just to artificially waste your time; in other anno games, you can always pull tricks to dig yourself out of economic crisis - selling off assets and surplus goods, completing quests for other parties, or taking loans. 2205 is very very confined in terms of what you can do to financially recover in the early game and forces you into a lot of military events.
I only played like 30 hours, but I hated every minute of Mina The Hollower.
Ah fucken tried to love this but just didn’t work. Tunic but worse.
I’m assuming at 30 hours in, you’ve tried other weapons. I had a very similar experience where I wanted to enjoy the game but was just completely miserable. I started out with the daggers. But once I unlocked the hammer, I started having a much better time. It can still be pretty frustrating at times, but it seemed like a lot of the difficulty I was having had to do with my play style and weapon choice not working well together.
