I was hoping to hear something more about the game then just the description of the first few campaign chapters.
Is the endgame content interesting and well-balenced? Are there different ways to develop your island (e.g. more industrial vs more attractive), and does this bring along some limitations or trade-offs? What about conflict? How are the naval battles? And are there land battles as well? Is there only the campaing and open-ended game mode, or are there scenarios akin to Anno 1404? Is the AI any good, does it provide a fair challenge while staying true to its character? How long does the campaign take to finish -- and is there room for replayability? Does the game have enough content to warrant its price, or is the gameplay loop engaging enough to keep us entertained for a long time? And what about criticism -- sure, the final score awarded to the game is very high, but that doesn't mean the game is perfect. Are there any issues or points that should be addressed before we commit to forking out the cash?
I am sorry to say this review was useless. I am deciding on whether to buy the game now or to wait a few months/years for prices to drop. The vast majority of the points mentioned in this video I already gathered from a 40 minute let's play video of the first chapter or two. While it certainly got me interested in the game, I was hoping to get a more critical and comprehensive picture from a review. Oh well.
Came here to find out exactly that. Do you have any insight now?
No review of the ship fighting, no footage of it either
Yeah sadly no words on that
Been playing since the release and I’m having a good time at the campaign. Took me some time to get used to everything. Solid 8.5/10 from me
Thank you for this good intro into what the game is.
Definitely felt like I was just listening to an Anno 1404 review. Seeing you praised it so much, at least mention a few differences between the games other than the campaign where 1404 scenarios beat this one by far.
just started playing anno 2070 my first anno game so far its a great game, im really interested in this one now
I can't wait till The Spiffing Brit breaks this. Sad peasant happy peasant.
"the jerk store called.... they're running out of you!"
@@tyronealfonso you can always take my place for a change.
played it an hour and graphic is really good. beautiful game
I wish you could make ground armies and transport them by ships. only reason im not getting it. Looks good tho.
best city building game ever! hard to master do due to the fact that i have like all the islands and cant manage it anymore haha
For a minute I thought it was a computer generated voiceover. I'm still not sure.
Too bad I can't map my mouse buttons, otherwise I love every bit of this game.
I'm not sure what kind of review this is. But i don't see how you can legitimately review a complex and long game like anno in which allot of fine detail like AI behavior, trade, balance, economy are so so important to the long term experience. the footage i see in this video doesn't show the reviewer playing anything more then 1 scripted scenario of some sort. :| I'm sorry but i am not impressed. I guess the rush to review is so strong that reviewers don't even take the time anymore to play a game.. So greedy...
Right? As if he was reading from a script, this sounded more like an advertising leaflet than an actual review. And since no bugs or balancing issues were mentioned I'm pretty confident the reviewer hasn't actuallly played the game. Maybe it's still too early to get a decent review, but why post such a deceit?
Can u still buy city council seats?
You can buy shares of your Competitors
Was really interested.
But fuck Epic Store and Uplay
hows the multiplayer?
Depends on who you're playing with. It's really chill with friends, but competitive MP can be a complete warzone xD
How does a series "peak" if subsequent games are rated higher? Explain this illogic.
Anno 1800:
The Prequel
I wanna play this game but apparently it's not available on Steam? What's up with that? And who is this "Epic Games" that seems to be strong-arming theie way into gaming. It sorta makes me not wanna play any games on their platform.
Sadly it’s not on steam.
It is if you have bought it before today.
why would it be since you need uplay anyway to play.
@@turbulenttimes3749 same as rainbow six siege I suppose.
@@turbulenttimes3749 To be fair I would want it on steam only to keep track of my time and achievements. Since getting it on steam benefits uplay and steam achievements.
I took the game from Steam, sadly I don't will find many people to play there, I assume.
Sorry but I can't take your review seriously when you build like that....
I suggest Sandbox mode the tet. was annoying. you learn more buy Sandbox mode anyway.
In 2019 and not a single curve? Just 90° angles and straight roads... This must be a joke, they made a 1800 mod of 1404 game, and you pay 60€ in a Chinese shop.
the game theorists
Gamingbolt, giving you a robotic cookie cutter description of a game and calling it a "review" once again.
lifetime movies
No red pepper "fertility"? LOL I'm pretty sure that should be facility.
Nope it's fertility. Some islands have fertility to only specific resources. You won't be able to produce resource out of fertility even if you build a facility
Ehm no?
It's the same term used to say if the soil is fertile for any crops, and when using fertiliser.
too expensive for what it is, i will buy it in a year :)
@Wurzelbert84 he's 100%right. The game is worth 20 at most. everything is square based no rounds roads or 45degree placements. Dumbed down economics not enough depth.
@@hereticjib7380 Which game got better economics and the same level of athmosphere tho?
Edgar Gfs too expensive????? Have you seen this game at all?
@@v1nigra3 its my opinion man. I saw people playing the game and it seems a bit repetitive, yes it looks good and all but, i dont see it has a game that i could spend more than 50 hours on it before i get bored( sorry if i dont make myself sound clear inglish is not my main language)
So because of that i think, it is a good 30 euros game not more, but dont kill me is just my poor mans opinion
Why are people complaining about this game not being on steam... Just get it on uplay lol
1) Customers usually enjoy having choice. Exclusives may make some sense for consoles, but tying a game to a specific service, OS version, or anything like that just feels a bit extortion-y.
2) Steam has many more users than Uplay has. This means that for many of us, who already run steam in the background, we will need to run yet another background service. With Origin, Uplay, Steam, whatever GOG came up with, etc. there will soon be a dozen competing services chomping up memory and bandwidth on our machines.
3) I don't even have a Ubisoft account. Setting one up would mean yet another account I need to manage and worry about in case of leaked personal information, compromised payment details etc.
4) Some might enjoy having one service for all games. One library with all purchased games, achievements, DLC and so on. It's the same as with Netflix and similar. I found it really cool to have one subscription and get most of the stuff I want to watch without hassle. Nowadays, streaming services pop up like mushrooms after a rain. The situation will soon resemble cable TV where each channel basically provides the same garbage in different disguise. I just want to play games goddammit, not update 20 gaming services every time I boot up my PC.
Patrick Gono well I pretty much use all gaming services ..sooo can’t relate 🤷🏼♂️
@@v1nigra3 this... I never like all games from one gaming service, just a few per company :)
@@patrickgono6043 You realise supporting only steam is support a monopoly which is never a good thing? Also it is WORSE for devs as they get less cut than pretty much all other platforms.
Old take: I just want the game files and the executable; I don't need any third-party launcher attached like steam/Ubi.
micro management is too much
Was excited for this then I found out it wasn't on steam. Shame.
me too.. oh well, I'm sure it'll be cracked within a couple weeks. It's nice to feel righteous about pirating software.
@@xordus "righteous". Yeah, erm, just shows how subjective everything can be lmao
@@xordus just buy directly at uplay
@@vottoduder I'm voting with my wallet
It is now on steam though
no steam no buy.
i wish there was more variety in the building models. turns me off the game.
Agree. But biggest turnoff is that everything is square based. Why no rounding on roads, and 45degree house placements etc, this game feels kinda 90's in it's limits. Also don't quite understand the economy, seems retarted. Kinda dissapointed in this game. Expected more(Never played Anno before) just seems outdated and too dumbed down tbh.
The buildings have the same models so you can identify them from far away. Trust me, it'd get REALLY messy otherwise.
terrible decision to say "they nailed the soundtrack". Its terrible, lacks emotional variety, boring, but worst of all: repetitive. You'll be hearing the same thing for 10, 20, 100+ hours. I had to turn it off, which is a testament to complete failure, because I used to LOVE Anno soundtracks.
I think the sound design in general is bad, especially when thinking that in 20 years, it got worse. Placing buildings, selecting buildings, units, nothing feels Anno, because they replaced all the sound effects with voices. These dont reflect the building type, but the worker type. Now a house may sound the same as a factory, and a windmill the same as a pig slaughterhouse, which is a terrible concept and rips much of Anno's soul and feel right out of its chest. Sound matters so much more than most people are aware of, and rating it anything close to "nailing it" is frighteningly oblivious.
In its current form, if anything, its an obvious (dare I say intentional) hole that needs to be patched - by DLC, and they're gonna want your money for it. Paying additional money to get more than a single song is nothing else than robbery if your standards arent garbage tier.
the game is great, but the sound is one thing that my friends agree on: horrendous, alienating to anyone familiar with Anno
The campaign is Lame
bored after 2 minutes of listening to this review
What is this crappy footage? Why only tutorial?
A virtually useless review. I'm sorry, but if so many things are left out and then, to give it the icing, you can't even modulate your voice - that's a downvote from me.
Epic Store Exclusive
its on steam?
@@andaroomca read the page.
@@jamesisaac7684 you're right, i didn't see that. that's fucked
It's on Uplay isn't it? No need for epic. (Though Uplay isn't great either)
Why people keep saying its a epic exclusive when its on Uplay? And you can still get it on steam if its preordered
A bad review, too much information left out in favour of a shorter review so you could do less work. In other words, lazy. Maybe you will reconsider your stance in the future on reviews. As this doesn't make it enticing to subscribe to you at all. So I'm not.
You talk way too fast, without pause. Take a breath, or add more pauses in your cuts, and it'll be much easier to follow what you're saying. Show us what you're talking about, instead of just showing a bunch of video that doesn't relate to what you're saying.
