Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“So bad that you can't connect your previous uplay character. Same situation with [b]Anno Online[/b]. Moreover, this version is even more laggy than browser one. Strongly [b]not recommended[/b]. 3/10”
“2100+ hours on record. Deleting. Why? Because of asinine requirement of Chrome and the constant Flash issues. Always some other work around you have to use to play the game. I've reached my breaking point with doing that dance to play.”
