But “you must” in the sense that you are driven to do it. “You must reach the end of the level in Super Mario Bros” or “You must repair the water filter in Fallout” or “You must gather ten bear hides in World of Warcraft”. Not “you must” in the sense of “the player must blah blah blah” as a tedious description of a game. A chain of interconnected sci-fi gobbledygook that you must link together: iridium, finance calculators, tidal power stations, synthcell incubators. That word soup, which makes complete sense to me, is Anno 2205 in a nutshell. I need some iridium so I can put finance calculators on the tidal power stations I had to build for all my new synthcell incubators.
