Jan 19, 2013Ubisoft's wicked DRM strikes again. I can't be arsed to rant about it. But I'm sure if you dig through the zeros you'll find something similar.
To people giving 10s to offset zeros, if the game is broken to the point of unplayability that's a zero; don't try and drag the score back up again. -

Jul 15, 2012Great graphics, nice game, you will not play for so long anyway. cons: horribly managed by Ubisoft Uplay, server down, problems with connection, user login not recognized and non existing support you cannot play ubisoft games in this way, thumb down never ever a Ubisoft game again.

Jul 17, 2013One of the worst strategy games I've ever played.
Graphics are ok. but the game play suffers tremendously, and the interface seems still in beta testing. -

Nov 29, 2014Gonna pirate it because uPlay it's a pain in the.... play. So if you havent buy it you should consider that after many updates uPlay still being a problem. If you can deal with all the issues you will find a good game

Apr 20, 2014I love the Anno games, but uplay makes it so incredibly difficult to actually do so, 10 mins to download and install... about 20 minutes and counting to try and get past Uplay, which is a thing that exists for some reason
-
Mar 14, 2015The game crashes repeatedly, which makes it a very frustrating experience. Uplay does not work and I would avoid purchasing another game that requires Uplay.

Nov 2, 2019A disgusting scam. You can only this crap with 4 players online. You have to meddle around for hours with a **** "patcher" file from ubisoft to even get it to run. They're still selling this crap on their store. Boycott this cam

Jan 21, 2012The game may be good, anyway the draconian ubisoft DRM makes it no buy for me and many other players. **** you **** you won't get my money. I own 500 games on steam, yet i still prefer to pirate your games instead of buying them!

Dec 23, 2012Disappointed to discover this game features an overly restrictive DRM system that means (1) you have to have an internet connection to play and (2) if your hardware changes more than three times your game is permanently disabled and cannot be reactivated. My review score reflects the fact that Ubisoft don't care about making the game unplayable for some of their own paying customers.

Jan 26, 2012I buy games to play them and have fun. As long as I am not hacking your game and playing legit, what I do with my computer after purchase is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!
If you dont know what I am talking about read "http://www.guru3d.com/news/why-guru3d-probably-never-will-review-ubisoft-titles-anymore/"
If they gave negative scores, this would get it for that reason. -

Jan 20, 2012BS Tage DRM. Change your graphics card? That just used up an activation, and you only get three, so don't go upgrading your machine very often! Seriously, the fact that this type of crap is somehow okay with so many game buyers is really quite baffling. JUST SAY NO TO HORRIBLE DRM HELL!

Mar 19, 2012I understand one time online activation DRM, but being forced to create Ubisoft account to be able to play game in offline mode is just big scam for me. And i thought that all those Ubisoft DRM stories were exaggerated, stupid me. I feel so bad for buying game that i will not play single time.

Feb 6, 2012The leap into the future was a good move by Ubisoft, enabling the combination of the formula already established with elements of science fiction.
