Anno 2205 vs Black & White
Anno 2205
Anno 2205 is, in some way, a "grand simulation" game and a city-builder that is set in the far future where Earth has already been developed to its maximum capacity and it's time to take to the stars. However, this game is no space exploration sim. Instead, you'll still be focusing much of your development effort on Earth but this time around, you'll get to expand your influence to the moon; to mine the resources there and bring it back to Earth. The gameplay is also further enhanced with a unique Session mode where you can play on multiple locations and then connect all of these regions together. And of course, the map of the region you can play in is a lot larger (five times, to be exact) than the previous game.However, many fans of the game have pointed out that the combat system is rather boring in this game. Though admittedly, the combat in other Anno games isn't particularly exciting either. It's just something that's necessary.
That said, the gameplay might still be interesting enough for you to buy the game, maybe at a discounted price, but for some, the game might not be comparable to any of the other Anno titles. It's up to you to decide which camp you fall into.
Black & White
Black & White is a god-mode simulation game (a.k.a. God game) where players are casted into the role of an almighty god who is able to control the fate of an entire world and yet is dependant on the prayers of your subjects in order to increase your power. You can opt to be a merciless or a benevolent god but regardless of your choices, challenges will eventually arise and you will need to do what it takes to keep worships coming in.Unlike most sandbox games where you can control every single thing built, you can't really force your people to do as you as directly, but you could encourage them indirectly... and this is exactly what makes Black & White such a hit back in the day - a game concept that no one has ever experienced before. Unfortunately, it seems like this game won't be brought back soon and unless you managed to get a old hard copy of the game (and of course, make it work on your much more advanced PC), you may never get to play this game.
