Fun for the whole family

I've played all previous Anno games and I've loved them all. It is a great game to relax at due to its slow nature. You can even turn off military actions within your skirmish game so you can focus on building up your city and anything you want. You can take as many islands as you wish and build a city and production on every one of them. Eventually you can get to build underwater production which is an exciting addition to the game and a wonderful idea. Even after multiple hours of game time you can't actually finish building everything because there is simply so much to do and build. An other great improvement is the graphics that looks stunning and therefore screenshots and videos from it are beautiful.

Anno 2070 is a complex game it takes a RTS (real time strategy) to a new level. But if you love building cities, having limited resources, and limited land this game is for you. Took me more then a few restarts to get a feel for this game but its so beautiful when it all comes together. Its all about making do with what your granted and balancing it with the environment, and keeping your citizens happy with supply and demand so they can improve so you can improve. Also lets not forget about the trade because that island next you more then likely has something you want be it rice, sugar, oil you get the idea. This game is a must for any true die hard RTS gamer or even the casual RTS gamer but don't get your panties in a bunch cause you fail. You need patience and understanding and the willingness to scrap your game and start over to achieve greatness in this game.

I was able to play 190 hours of the game with no issues, but now I cant play since I lost my Uplay account, the game itself is brilliant but is ruined by Uplay's DRM. I cant create a new account either since Uplay requires a key to play this game, which is disabled when you link it to an account. The DRM would make perfect sense for a game distributed through DVDs and boxed copies but for steam it is nothing but a major inconvenience and possibly a sign of laziness on the side of ubisoft.

Anno 2070 is a city-building and economic simulation game, with real-time strategy elements. It is the 5th game of the Anno series. It was released on 17 November 2011, and was co-developed by the German studios Related Designs and Ubisoft Blue Byte, and published by Ubisoft. Anno 2070 requires Uplay to operate-- Ubisoft has fixed their Uplay servers to where you can now login with ease, but you must still creae an account , albeit it can be bought through Steam.

If you like strategy or city building simulator games, this is the game for you.

What Anno2070 Does well-

---As a City Making Sim this game does excelent, you are presented with the problems of a futuristic society. You must maintain a postivie ecobalance, a way of showing the polution (or lack thereof) You are also presented with the problems of keeping a positive energy reading and economy. The people of your island will increase as more homes become available, more homes means more resources, food drink and other, needed to keep the people happy, and able to upgrade so they can give you more tax money.
---The graphics in this game are stunning for the time it was developed, I play on High graphics , but low looks good as well if your computer cannot support higher
---The DLC of this game, specifically Deap Sea, adds a whole new depth to the game, with new weapons, a new tier of "evolution" and an enchanced undersea experience, which is byfar my favorite in the game.

What Anno2070 does NOT do well-
---The combat in Anno2070 is extremely difficult for several reasons. One of them is that it is extremely hard to extinguish anyone, let alone an NPC, from the map, as they can rebuild faster then you can attack them.
---Uplay: I enjoy Ubisoft-don't get me wrong- but having to constantly launch my game from both Uplay AND Steam seems redundant to me.
---At $49.99 (this is at the time of review) for the game with all the DLC-as good as the game is- is a bit steep for a year old game.

All in all I would recommend that you buy this game, the Pros far outweigh the price.
My score of game- 88/100
