It&#8217;s a tweak to the formula that has made the franchise so successful, and it could have gone horribly wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately though, if early reviews are anything to go by, it worked out just fine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anno 2070 review roundup<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gamers.at<\/strong> 93\/100<\/p>\n<p>ANNO 2070 is the perfect game for everyone who loves to tweak an economy and build large scale cities.
