So entsteht diese Rangliste
- Die Spiele werden nach dem aggregierten Kritikerscore von 100 gewertet, importiert von IGDB und Metacritic, nie nach den Tier-eigenen Wertungen.
- Ein Spiel kommt erst ab 30 externen Bewertungen ins Ranking, damit eine einzelne begeisterte Rezension nie einen bewährten Klassiker überholt.
- Jedes Spiel wird nur in einem Genre gewertet, dem prägendsten, damit derselbe Titel nie zwei verschiedene Genre-Charts anführt.
- Die Community-Wertungen von F bis S stehen neben jedem Spiel und werden erst ab 5 Tier-Bewertungen als Fakt ausgewiesen.
- Abgedeckter Erscheinungszeitraum: 1996.
- 8 Spiele stehen auf dieser Seite, zusammen mit 781 Bewertungen.
- Die Ranglisten werden stündlich neu berechnet; diese wurde am 29 September 2026 zuletzt neu aufgebaut.

The Settlers 2: Veni, Vidi, Vici
The Settlers II: Veni, Vidi, Vici is a real-time strategy computer game, released by Blue Byte Software in 1996. Its gameplay is very similar to that of its predecessor, The Settlers, albeit with a Roman theme and improved graphics. It is the second game in The Settlers series. Many fans of the franchise consider this the best game of the series, primarily because future instalments changed the transport management aspect considerably. This popularity encouraged Blue Byte to publish a remake of the game, The Settlers II (10th Anniversary) for Windows and release a port of the original game on Nintendo DS.
