What players say

I enjoyed the game and love anno since 1602 from early 2000s. However, Ubisoft is a downfall for gaming. everytime I want to play the game I have to login and reset my password, then the account is suspended, and while in game, it says I'm offline and playing another user's account, so no achievements would be unlocked -_-

game is great and fun to play, buuut ubisoft launcher forces online, and if connection to server fails, unplayable, thanks ubisoft, great work. what fixed the server connection problem was to run game as admin...
jigwakNot recommendedafter 12h5 found this helpfulRead on Steam
Like other reviewers said, Ubisoft Connect every time you launch the game which requires admin access every time I launch the game. Only a fool plays games in an admin account. The UI has aged poorly. No UI interface for changing interface scaling, so you can barely read the text on a 4K monitor. Sure you can edit the ini file, but I have several much older games that automatically scale the UI when I use a 4K...
