Anno 2070, as the name suggests, is about a near future where you must know how to manage cities and resources. This game made me spent hours of gameplay and I don't intend to stop playing. The big difference of this game compared to its predecessors is the multiplayer. The community is able to vote on global matters, choose a new president for the council, etc. Gameplay is fantastic, sound is overwhelming and campaign is quite interesting. You will find some minor problems such as voice acting doesn't seem to be good and some small typos in the text. However, I'm pretty sure such things will get fixed on future patches. This is a must buy game if you enjoy city management. Congratulations to Blue Byte!… Expand

It got wonderful details on everything. Nature looks very good, the buildings are well made and the effects are awesome. The only part wich I dislike on this game it is popularity, online community seem to be not enough, but despite that the game is awesome, If you like strategic or city managing games, this is for you!… Expand

ANNO 2070 is is a nice RTS that will keep you playing for hours on end, but the learning curve is ungodly steep and just plain brutal for new players. The instructions are so inadequate and poorly elaborated upon that I wouldn't be surprised if you were to uninstall within the first hour of playing.
   
   There is an insane amount of depth with the gameplay inside the game with all the things you could possibly do to advance your city to the next level. There is a ton of freedom to do whatever you will, even within the main campaign. You'll find yourself spending hours upon hours trying to balance your city perfectly so that you don't bleed cash and throw yourself into debt to the point of no return.
   
   At the end of the day though, I would say that the game was designed more for the non-campaign modes. There are only around two dozen predefined missions. The replay value comes from either playing randomly generated maps or multiplayer.
   
   Overall, the game is aesthetically pleasing and there is much to love about the gameplay, as long as you can get past the steep learning curve. I imagine this game gets mixed ratings because of its your-mileage-may-vary kind of gameplay. Or because it's owned by Ubisoft and runs with their DRM.… Expand

Though Anno is a good game in its own rights it is also anything other than innovative. Essentially you begin with what seems like some kind of “Mother ship” that looks like it just landed at some random island and now you need to colonize it with either hippie or corporate inhabitants and thrive. Fun for a while.
   So basically the story is that global warming has melted the icecaps and has made most of the planet, aside from the highest mountain peaks, completely uninhabitable. Where have I heard this one before? And wouldn’t the highest mountains be uninhabitable too. This game shows these areas as beautiful and the very view of inhabitable. Really, you would still be at the same height as it always was and the people would die from the cold. But I digress.
   There are two main factions; the Eden Initiative, the good guys I guess, and the Global Trust, or the bad guys. Each has its own high and low points like the Initiative are never short on recourses, but they expand slowly. And the Trust will quickly run out of recourses but will expand faster. Aside from those two things and the look of the buildings, there really is no difference between the two, in my opinion.
   The combat in the game is much like the combat in 1702AD, clunky and slow. Now I love strategy games. Sometimes I’ll get so hooked on Civilization that I lose track on the month that go by, but this system is just so bad. In fact, it’s downright boring. Though the graphics in the game are great and you can see every blade of grass as it gets ripped up and scarred by the rage of war there really isn’t much to the combat. They shoot and the one with greater numbers wins.
   There are several campaigns that add almost nothing to the game, actually most tend to just play the sandbox mode and get the experience of the scenarios in a single play-through instead of restarting every time. And there is almost no story or immersion to speak of. You know you’re playing a game entire time. There is no connection to the characters, no main character that I noticed, and poor endings.
   The only saving grace in this game is that it is a feast for the eyes and has an equally beautiful soundtrack.
   To be honest, this game should get a score of about 4, but due to the beautiful music models and textures in the game and that it does have a good amount of replay-ability, I have to give it a 5. It is an average game with an average experience. Don’t go tripping over the strategy fan-boys to get this one, but it is worth getting if not for early gameplay.… Expand

I spent 2 hours trying to figure out why my town would not feed itself despite 4 roads to a overflowing warehouse of the correct food- when restarting the game and minimally building allowed me to build the farm people would actually use... . If I could get a refund on my steam account, I would. play sim city instead.… Expand

   Tout de même bizarre les Anno puisque le 1404 ne réclamait aucune espèce d'activation et marchait sans rien, c'est-à-dire sans Uplay... maisTout de même bizarre les Anno puisque le 1404 ne réclamait aucune espèce d'activation et marchait sans rien, c'est-à-dire sans Uplay... mais c'est vrai qu'il date un brin le machin, ceci expliquant cela sans doute. En tout cas, je mets la galette et j'installe, tout a l'air normal... puis je lance Anno 2070, il s'auto-patche tout seul comme un grand ! bah dis donc, c'est plutôt sympa, ça.
   
   Puis il demande vers la fin du patch la clé. Bon ok, bon prince je lui rentre la clé (je suis bon prince). Il termine, je relance Anno 2070. Tiens, il lance Uplay maintenant... et là direct un message à la con "clé non valide". Et dans ma bibliothéque youplaie, aucun Anno 2070 ?...
   
   Alors, je lui re-rentre la clé manuellement (oui, avec la main) pour qu'il comprenne... oh enfin, il a compris, le jeu apparaît bien... ouf, pas besoin de le... réinstaller. Tout a l'air normal. Je relance donc Anno 2070... j'espère ne pas avoir à le relancer 2070 fois !
   
   Le jeu se lance, tout a l'air normal mais... non, mais tu vas voir, c'est un vrai feuilleton... il redemande la putain de clé ! tiens mais putain, je te la re-rentre dans le fion et étouffe-toi avec, toi et ta putain de clé de connerie de con ! ça y est, je suis enfin au menu du jeu mais je suis soûlé, là.
   
   Alors, comment qu'on fait... y a des trucs partout... ah là, "campagne"... allez, charge la truffe, charge... Et finalement, en moins de temps qu'il ne faut pour le dire et encore moins pour le croire (même si c'est plus long) Anno 2070 reste un Anno : c'est très beau mais c'est très confus, très mal foutu, mal présenté (mais c'est beau, oui, oui) anti-ergonomique et vite super énervant.
   
   Alors, je me suis dit "mais c'est quoi ça, putain ?" et j'ai quitté illico presto. Ensuite, j'ai désinstallé... et d'ailleurs, on critique l'Epic Game Store (oui c'est buggué comme une grosse merde) Origin (ah la saloperie de la Worst Company !) GOG (oh les indés de mes deux, les vieux jeux tout pourris et qu'est-ce que c'est lent à charger ! mais au moins c'est sans DRM, merci quand même) et Steam (la boutique du gros porc, de Jabba le Hutt (avec le mode hors connexion qui ne marche que quand il est conecté) mais tout de même Uplay, qu'est-ce que c'est bien de la merde !
   
   Tiens, tu veux désinstaller dans Uplay, il te renvoit au prog de désinstall de Windaube ! bah dis donc, surtout ne te foule pas trop Ubichiottes ! et garde ton Anno avec sa clé bien profondément !… Expand
