I played almost all the previous titles of the series and had a lot and last a lifetime, especially in 1404. In announcing that the setting would be moved for Anno 2070 in the future, I was very skeptical, the straight that made a big part of the charm of the predecessor and also fit well with the light comic style of the series. In addition, was / is often read that there are major problems with activation codes and copy protection / was, so I have long hesitated to buy it myself. About 2 months ago I have Anno 2070 then bought it and have to say that my concerns have proved unfounded. The activation went smoothly and updates were loaded quickly. Even the setting is very harmonious, even if everything looks strange first, but turns out after a short time the familiar-feeling a Anno. The production chains of the various groupings are diversified and offer an appealing complexity. Special fun it is to deny together with friends a lot together.
In summary it can be said that this part indeed looks different, but is by and through a successful Anno.
