What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $4.99. That was June 2016. 97 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $4.99 at 75 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Anno 2205™ ($5.99, scores 31) beats it on value, while it beats Grand Ages: Medieval ($19.99, scores 0).
The press liked it more than its buyers did, 83 against 60 percent.

What players say
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...
First game in my backlog to end up in my "Could-not-finish" catalogue. After progressing through the second mission in the second act of "The Virus" campaign, the game reached a certain stage in which it entered a "Reboot loop." I did fix the issue by copying over .rda-files from the Ubisoft Connect installed version of the game to the maindata folder, but then the game launched in offline mode and had forgotten my...
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 -_-
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.
No data upstream: achievement curve (Steam global achievements).

Anno 2070™ scores 8/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/48240/anno-2070The BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Aug 1, price as of Sep 24.
