The Settlers: History Collection

Our analysis

A worthwhile package for series fans, bundling all seven Settlers games and their expansions, updated to run on modern PCs with 4K support and, crucially, working online multiplayer that earlier GOG releases lacked. Settlers 3 and 4 stand out as the deep, road-and-resource city-builder-with-combat peaks, while later entries (5, 6, 7) drift into a different, less appealing direction. Minor AI shortcomings persist but don't undermine the value.
