Moody Zukunftsablerger - strength in multiplayer

With Anno 2070 the jump the ANNO series has succeeded in the future. Old ANNO veterans feel after settling in the scenario again at home, but won the Game my personal impression is positive and negative sides, I want to address briefly:

Fun singleplayer: ***
Multiplayer gameplay: *****
Gameplay scenarios: *** (*)
Atmosphere: *****
Addon deep: ***** (ideal for advanced players!)

Shortcomings:

I) Technology
- Always-ON: For whom there is a problem: In order to use all the game features (in particular the profile configurations, the ark, etc.) is necessary a permanent online connection. The game can even play offline, but the Senate and the World Council elections, the daily quest and the Ark but it makes a whole lot more fun. Players who can not ensure a permanent Internet connection, here are at a disadvantage.

- Installaton / Error: For me the game was installed smoothly, but various forums and reviews can be found here (eg with Keys, the activation of the addon / DLCs) also problems. After activation of a few router ports the game makes me no problems, except the "Speicherbug" (known from 1404), is now and then since (RAM overload by ANNO 2070. "Remedy" by saving and game restart, load.)

II) Single Player
AI: The computer players fall unfortunately poor in this ANNO than in 1404. No one builds a real city that is really dependent on some supplies. Instead, follow all AI opponents a specific topic, such as "oil baron", "eco-terrorist" or research. Especially since the military conduct is covered partly by ziehmlich infinite unity production (particularly on "difficult").

Positives:

I) mood and setting
The scenario comes across very well. The deep ocean is very consistent and grim designed and is complemented by the Addon "The deep" to many meaningful content. The disasters underline the modern setting excellent. Impact on the environment, triggered by the player are reflected directly from the game world.

II) Gameplay
The 3 fractions, energy and environmental performance make the game overall very complex. Just for starters the game is well suited. The many scenarios (including DLC ​​Contet / Addon) and the campaign offer a good entry point and irritate a getting to know all game elements to.

III) Multiplayer
The fast boring through the AI ​​Single Player with other human players in the multiplayer back to experience. In particular, the simultaneous presence of Eco- and Tycoon players has plenty of potential for conflict but also Möglcihkeit to cooperate.

IV) research
After Anno 1404 The popular feature returning finally back. It is designed reasonable, offers individual solutions to current problems in the island world and can be dozens, if not hundreds of hours researching even diligently.

V) online features / addon / DLCs
The World Affairs (alternate scenarios rows, 4 different alternating) provide monthly for new challenges. The ark is to bring useful about items and goods in other Scores.
The DLCs that are included here so, bring a lot of decorative elements and some useful buildings, are therefore useful addition.
The addon is just a must for advanced players because it involves the techs to many production chains (the complex), a new Ziv-level and the share market (council of Anno 1404 with additional feature).

All in all, Anno 2070, despite a few technical shortcomings a good atmosphere and playful thought-out game. The strengths are online and in multiplayer than singleplayer player I would rather recommend 1404. The medieval idyll gives way to the darkness, but aufklarbaren future. A real ANNO.
