Anno 2205 vs Black & White 2: Battle of the Gods
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 2: Battle of the Gods
Black & White 2: Battle of the Gods is the exciting sequel to the hit God game, Black & White. You still get to play the role of an unnamed god who now has Eden under control but apparently, this time around, the Aztecs has raised a new undead god through a massacre due to the massive number of human sacrifices made. The new god has its own army of the undead skeletons and other equally undead monstrous creatures to lead them. With this challenge in mind, you now have to either convince these death worshippers to defect to your side with proper nudging and encouragement or you could simply force them to return to worshipping you. Of course, the undead god won't be happy with your actions and will do whatever it takes to keep its own inflow of prayers going.Although you won't be able to obtain a digital copy of Black & White 2: Battle of the Gods, there are still hard copies of the game that you can buy off of Amazon... probably second discs though. That said, the game is amazing for its time and if you love god games, this is a classic that you'll definitely want to own.
