What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
June 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. 85 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $5.99 at 85 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
At full price it scores 25. The current cut is what makes it a 31.
Value puts it in the top 48 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 69 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Cliff Empire ($17.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats Anno 2070™ ($4.99, scores 8).
Steam's global achievement data puts 23 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 14 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2021 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,864 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 650 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 25 percent of the 567 reviews written there were positive, against 70 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Bei weitem nicht so gut wie Anno 1800, aber ich mochte die Welt und die Idee eines Anno in der Zukunft. Es ist kein Spiel in dem ich Anno-typisch für hunderte Stunden versinken kann, aber wenn der Preis gerade mal runter gesetzt ist würde ich es jedem Anno Fan empfehlen zumindest mal einmal durchzuspielen.
I bought this game a few days ago and I have been playing it for a bit over 10 hours now, on Linux. The game itself is very good. My first Anno was 1800, 2 years ago, then I moved onto 117, both on console, then I decided to give it a shot and try the older Anno games on Linux. So I got 2205 first, it is different from the others, both in terms of its futuristic setting and also for the production chain management...
Notice: Purchases made in this region will only receive the Russian language. That's straight offensive in 2026.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Anno 2205™ scores 31/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/375910/anno-2205The BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 13, price as of Sep 24.
