I played this game called Ixion, which is a city builder in an interstellar colony ship hurtling through space in a last ditch effort to save humanity (from a calamity you may have also accidentally caused). This game was epic.

After finishing that I was like "give me more awesome city builder!"

I fired up anno 2205 and proceeded to be bored to tears. Yeah, some aspects of the interface were better (Ixion can be clunky and unforgiving). But all and all anno 2205 doesn't even compare, it was just tedious.

Ixion

I don't know how I missed this game but holy crap that looks entirely my thing.

It's now in my Steam library, thanks.

I think I ended up refunding Anno 2205, that's the only Anno installment I disliked and I've played them all. It's not futuristic of course, but try Anno 1800, it is really good. One of those games where I was surprised to find out Ubisoft was still able to release something that doesn't feel like a complete copy-paste of its sequel. The basics are the same of course, but with enough unique twists and QoL improvements that it feels like a genuine step forward.
