GERMAN COMPUTER GAME AWARD: Anno 1800 is the best German game and Anno games ranked.

At the Online Award Ceremony, there were no foreign shame moments, despite technical glitches, and in addition to Anno 1800 other deserved winners.

The construction game Anno 1800 won in the most important category of the best German game on 27 April 2020 when the German Computer Game Prize was awarded.

Federal Minister of Transport and Digital Affairs Andreas Scheuer (CSU) praised in his laudatio, among other things, the "incredible love for detail" of the program, which has been sold more than a million times. Its developer studio Ubisoft Blue Byte gets 100,000 euros for the win.

Alongside Anno 1800, the Through the Darkest of Times by Paintbucket Games and the dark adventure Sea of Solitude by Jo-Mei Games had been nominated.

It is not the first time an anno has been awarded the German Computer Games Prize. Anno 1404 won in the main category in 2010, Anno 2205 in 2016 - and 2014 Anno Online won the best browser name.

The award ceremony did not take place at a celebration in Munich because of the corona pandemic. Instead, Barbara Schöneberger and the Youtuber Nino guy hosted in a studio.

Prize winners and laudators such as Smudo and Uke Bosse were added by video conference. This did not always work, but the technical breakdowns did not always work: In the social networks, along with the gala, mostly positive comments were to be read.

Anno 1800 not only won in the category of the best German game, but was also awarded for the best game design. The Jury Through the Darkest of Times was awarded the Best Game of Serious Game by Sea of Solitude. So each of the three games in the main category became the winner after all.


In the category of best innovation and technology, Lonely Mountains: Downhill — a kind of mountain bike action simulation — won by Megagon Industries from Berlin. Best family game is Tilt Pack by Navel, best mobile game song of Bloom by Kamibox.

In the opinion of the jury, the best expert game is the space adventure Avorion from Boxelware from Erlangen. The category means a game that is strongly oriented towards hardcore gamers - which is certainly true for the cumbersome but worldwide popular Avorion among genre fans.

Studio Seufz received the Junior Award for the best debut for the unusual The Longing, built in real time for 400 days. The best prototype was submitted by HTW Berlin with couch monsters. The best studio is Yager Development (The Cycle) from Berlin - as the jury finds.

In the unpaid international categories, the developer studio Respawn Entertainment, which is part of Electronic Arts, achieved a double success - which, by the way, nobody seemed to notice at the award ceremony.

Respawn delivered traps with Star Wars Jedi.

With Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Respawn provided the jury with the best international game. And with Apex Legends also the best international multiplayer game - one may wonder why the prize did not go to Pubg and Fortnite, among others.

The special award of the jury was awarded to the Fold It project of the University of Washington, which is intended to help research strategies against the coronavirus. The Audience Prize was awarded by Smudo of the Fantastic Four to The Witcher 3rd Player of the Year, the former Counter-Strike professional Fatih "Gob B" Dayik.
