Anno 2070

Futuristic version of Settlers 7 is all it is, but not as fun.

User Rating: 6.5 | Anno 2070 PC

Meh, I'm not really impressed. I've been playing strategy games for 30 years and Anno 2070 is really nothing ground breaking. It's very much like Settlers 7, Sim ThemePark, and Caesar III, but takes place in the future which makes it hard for the player to relate to. This makes it very boring very quickly. It'll be a $15 game on Steam a year from now.

The UI is clunky and not well organized with buttons and options all over the place. The tutorial is too slow as it's divided in slow-paced multiple missions that will take you a very long time to complete.

I have a top notch video card the default graphics for Anno 2070 are much fuzzier than Settlers 7.

The music soundtrack is pleasant and sweet.

If you're new to city building games then this will be fun, but if you're a veteran like me then you'll find it boring very quickly.

  After many years Anno leaves behind the Age of the Great Discoveries and brings a new time with new challenges.

  Seasoned players might have frowned when they found out that the game would leave behind swords and cannons, I was disappointed myself, but after 20 minutes of play I realized I had no reason to doubt the game. The fact ... Read Full Review
