Anno 2070 Critic Reviews

ANNO 2070 is the perfect game for everyone who loves to tweak an economy and build large scale cities. Especially the endgame is really complex with many things to do. A must have for every ANNO-Player.

Ubisoft made a great decision in taking the Anno franchise to the future. Trading, building, doing quests, there is a ton of stuff to do. It's very interesting to see the environment play a big role and the effects of polution add a great new gameplay concept. Anno 2070 really is all about building and trading and won't be fulfilling for people that are looking to rage war.

Quotation forthcoming.

While it may bewilder players new to the genre with the sheer complexity of it all, Anno 2070 succeeds at giving the decade-old series a fantastic makeover.

Thanks to its amazing world of possibilities, deep gameplay mechanics and engaging progression, Anno 2070 proves to be a top class sim-RTS destined to entertain any fan of the genre for a very long time.

It's about expansion, trading, economics, boats, and staring at a lot of awfully pretty sci-fi buildings while you do so... which, frankly, is more than an enough for me.

The developers have succeeded in creating a game faithful to the tradition and at the same time a game full of new elements and mechanics, that make it feel fresh. All that, plus a great campaign and a variety of multiplayer options make Anno 2070 an excellent game and even some technical issues can't change that.

Glancing 60 years into the future and learning from old mistakes, Related Designs made a masterpiece!

Anno 2070 pushes the series to incredible highs and is amongst the best in its genre. The easy to learn controls and rules, new online options and the way you can build while preserving nature all make this the best strategy game of 2011.

A significantly more accessible setting makes this latest Anno a must play for all city management fans.

A rich game with tons of content. Anno 2070 is one of the best iterations in the series. Blue Byte has built another great game.

Even so, Anno 2070 is one of the best titles released in 2011 and without equal when compared to other games in the genre. The three defining elements of the series (alongside the almost infinite replay value) – urban planning, commercial routes and opponent interaction – are now more complex.

Anno 2070 is a top class sim-RTS game. A must have for every Anno Fan.

Anno 2070 is a game for the slow-paced, economy-driven game fans. It packages a beautiful game of capitalistic supremacy with radiant graphics and an interface that has been tried and tested over the years. Yet with the introduction of the underseas empires and combat, it attempts to branch out and make a name for itself in the series, and for the most part it succeeds on all counts.

The newest iteration of the Anno series builds successfully on the previous Anno games. Setting Anno 2070 in the future gives the game a whole new angle. Managing the economy and mastering trade and diplomacy are of course vital, but it is the Waterworld-esque setting that distinguishes Anno 2070 from its competitors. Will you go green and use renewable energy? Or do whatever it takes to generate enough energy for your colony – even if it means polluting your surroundings?

Regardless of the validity of pushing Anno away from a historical setting, Anno 2070 once again proves that the real-time strategy genre is alive and well, and should be considered seriously by any armchair dictator with a lot of spare time.

Sure, I was lured in by Anno 2070's good looks, but its brains and depth that make this one a real beauty. She's a keeper.

Anno 2070 achieves a great futuristic atmosphere, and this is a great reason to introduce many new features that make the game fresh, like the introduction of factions or the renewed multiplayer mode. A great new entry in the Anno series.

The sci-fi city building of Anno 2070 is a fresh take on a familiar genre. Expect to get hooked, and stay hooked.

It's a fantastic, addictive economic strategy at its best that you have to try. Pefect for long winter evenings.
