Ubisoft even seem to know that their "automatic downloader" for the already released patches due to server overload is not functioning properly - Also with me nothing went to the beginning - That is why I have just visited the site of Ubisoft and lo and behold, I was able to 1GB download large file (patch 2.0) and waited about 10 minutes (depending on the line can vary this information!). After installation (from 1.0 V to 2.0 V), which is run smoothly, I could start the video game without any problems and already several times ...
Of course it may be that this has eased somewhat since the release, because this game is probably less played. Nevertheless, I find it a pity that the developer Related Designs and Blue Bytes (Ubisoft is only the publisher) in these circumstances have hardly received praise, because many simply had to push on Ubisoft only their "hatred cap" because:
The Chart ...
... This game is designed very detailed, which is why the game world is very alive. The water / underwater leaves a very good impression and it jerky itself is not at the highest resolution. For me, that's why it is surprising because my computer is not exactly the best. The developers have a good mix between performance and highly detailed graphics found and able to implement very good - for me there is nothing to complain about in terms of graphics and some other strategy games can cut them a slice.
The sound ...
... Is crisp and the speakers have been well selected. In addition, the spokesman repeated very rare, because the developers have created several sets for the "same issue" - done really great!
The KI ...
... Like a few weaknesses in the implementation of strategic combat trains have, yet they often act sensible and understandable. Also nice, I find that the use of KI potential weaknesses and not senseless attack, even if, as already mentioned, the strategic weaknesses from time to time occur.
The game mechanics ...
... Se I find very well done. Both the control, as well as the general overview of the hotkeys I find really well chosen, so it can control the game really easily. The exercise in the beginning, you get in the campaign, for example, I find it very well constructed - One comes quickly master the game and lose hardly to overview, of course it is thanks to the clearly arranged HUD - Although it initially somewhat overloaded me worked.
Conclusion:
Overall, the game world is designed very clearly and has always alive. For the present moment I still can not detect any serious graphical glitches or similar. The only thing that bothers me a bit is that the buildings are almost indistinguishable at certain stages - at least not at first glance. Together with the gameplay really makes this game one player in the world of Anno 2070 and attracts a dive also under the spell ^^
Otherwise, however, this game is as Anno 1404 (I still playing it), my views to one of the best strategy games on this planet. They greatly expanded the population and many new ideas involved that have it in them, but I would not call for possible spoilers)
Therefore, only one thing: who departs on strategy games and a good looking, as can overlook by Ubisoft also of the possible connection errors, which will be well served with Anno 2070.
