IGN - Dropping the familiar strategic economy simulation and city building gameplay into a new future setting really refreshes the franchise, but it's great to see that beneath its gorgeous new sci-fi sheen, Anno 2070 isn't simply a re-skinned version of its predecessors. While the many of the core elements remain intact, the new ecological focus adds a lot to the gameplay. 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.
Strategising expressed in real-time, turn-based and the time-bending variants in between has been a cornerstone of gaming since close to its infancy. Here's a selection of the very best examples of strategy games to ever grace the medium.
These past two days, owners of Anno 2070 have been unable to play Ubisoft's city-buildi ng and economic simulation game. While trying to launch the game, players are currently receiving an Unknown Error when trying to connect to Anno 2
This is the main argument, and a good one, as to why a digital future is worrysome. We are all being tailored to playing games for a certain period of time and then moving on (this game is over 6 years old now). Servers are being shut down all the time for older titles but why can't they allow them to be playable offline?
Anno 2070, the simulation game released by Ubisoft on PC back in 2011, is now available for a reduced price on Uplay.
