    Civilization V is certainly playable and enjoyable at that, but- perhaps unsurprisingly- this iteration of the ever popular series amounts to little more than a re-skinning of previous entries. The hex-based map and in-game mod database are welcome additions, but otherwise most changes could be lumped under the banner of "streamlining" (for better or worse). It's a decent choice for those who somehow still haven't ever tried a Civilization game, but Civ V doesn't make too many significant improvements over previous installments.    … Expand

Enjoyed it thoroughly, but one the other hand I must admit that one time was probably enough, especially since Civ V lacks any sort of continual campaign with story mode that would engage you and take you on the adventure through time and evolution perhaps, in the Age of Empires style. In this format, it's basically just a randomly created sessions, so there's not much motivation to go on playing for me, but for what it is, it's really good. 7/10… Expand

    Great game, most of the changes (unstacking, switch to hexes) turned out good.

    Maybe policy system was bit better in Civ 4, and I will miss Leonard Nimoy saying "Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know what leads you forward and what holds you back and choose the path that leads to wisdom."

    L'extension qui apporte la religion est particulièrement hermétique en ce qui concerne ses possibliités et ses unités et plus globalement, le jeu laisse l'impression éminemment désagréable de pédaler dans la semoule : privé de possibilités guerrières, on vivote et on s'échine à micro-gérer, micro-optimiser afin de viser l'une des autres conditions de victoire.

Also, cities feel far more static than they use to: border expansion feels slower and is much less noticeable.

    Not too many new features from the previous games. The additional features are minor and mostly unnecessary (the hexagonal tiles end up unmeaningful). Most of the old features are simplified; maybe oversimplified. And the game takes so much memory; around 1GB-1.5GB; textures never load completely after a load.

    If you don't get attacked a X amount of time in the game then its probably an even duller game, at least when your neighbor decides they've had enough of you it gently prods you in to some action (or some unit micro-management if you will).

    I think the city states were an interesting idea but on the whole there annoying and tend to start wars - so more micro-management of your units.

    I think CIV is a let down - I think CIV4 was the more superior game (186 hours of steam game time) - and a game I bought twice and would buy again if i so lost it, lets hope 6 has fixed some issues. On one side note there are available mods appearing so maybe some of those could turn the game around - but seriously i don't expect a full release game to rely on mods.    … Expand

    This review is for Civ V complete, with the Gods & Kings and Brave New World expansions. The "vanilla" game is a stripped down version that offers very little game play. Fortunately for you, the game is so old that the complete edition is super cheap.

    Civ V is a delicacy. The game is missing core features from old civ games but adds a lot of great features for fans of strategy games.    This review is for Civ V complete, with the Gods & Kings and Brave New World expansions. The "vanilla" game is a stripped down version that offers very little game play. Fortunately for you, the game is so old that the complete edition is super cheap.

    Civ V is a delicacy. The game is missing core features from old civ games but adds a lot of great features for fans of strategy games. The good: the hex based strategic combat feels smart for the first time in civ history. No more stacking units to take a city or facing a stack of doom from the computer. You can win wars by playing smart. The bad: the game rewards only a few styles of play and does not offer a risk-reward for player choices.

    On that bad part, the game punishes the player for building an empire. Ever new city increases unhappiness to the point that any amount of cities greater than 4 leads to happiness problems in the early game. Conquering enemy cities generates even more unhappiness, and many a campaign of conquest ended with a peace treaty because of it. The notion of happiness if fine, but the execution is terrible. The result is that most players stick with civilizations that reward small empires.

    More on the bad. While some choices are essential, such as choosing to focus on a few cities to preserve happiness, others are inconsequential. For example, you can choose the Patronage social policy tree to lower the cost of gold needed to bribe city states. Or you can choose a policy tree that increases you gold earnings. Later on, you can choose the Freedom ideology to increase the generation of great people by 25%. Or you can choose Order and to increase the generation of great people by 25%. None of these choices have a drawback. Choosing Patronage will not hamper you ability to generate money or increase science. The same goes for Rationalism, which increases science with no extra cost to your civilization in happiness, culture, or gold generation. Every choice you make is a winner, which makes the choices extremely boring.

    A little side note on city states: you can buy their allegiance or do some very gamified quests to gain their allegiance. There is little nuance, and for the most part, the city states do little to enhance the game. For the most part, I used the city states as shields in the early game and then as a source of votes in the late game for a diplomatic victory. Overall, though, I think they clutter the map and are a sink for gold in the diplomatic game. I often half the number of city states or leave them out of the game entirely.

    Civ V has a great mod support from the community. If you are on PC. On Mac, you have access to many mods, but not the most game changing mods that fix all of the problems I mentioned above. On PC, you want to go with the Steam version (even though I find it bothersome to have to launch Steam to play a game) and find the Vox Populi mod. I would have preferred if the developer opened up the game to tweaking by the user as old civ games did. (For example, I edited some text files in Civ II to increase gold per turn so I wouldn't have to bother moving caravans. Fortunately Civ V automates caravans.) At least the mods add some life to the game. Mult-player still works and people do play it. Head over to the Civ V reddit page if you are looking to find people still playing.

    I would love to score this game higher as Civ is my favorite game series of all time (though I hated, hated, Civ III). Maybe if I would love the game more if had a PC instead of a Mac, and ran the Vox Populi mod. But I don't, and after hundreds of hours of gameplay, I can safely say this game has much less to offer than it seems, which is kind of sad.    … Expand

    2. Убрали статистику в конце игры, а ту, что оставили, порезали до примитива и это весьма плохо!

    3. Дипломатия здесь сводится к тому, кто больше заплатит. Можно, например, подкупить все города-государства на выборах ООН и победить в дипломатической победе, даже если вы будете страной-изгоем. Да и вообще, вся дипломатия тут -- один сплошной недостаток.

    4. Долгие загрузки. Игра довольна стара и почему она так долго грузится -- мне не понятно.

    5. Стратегический режим слишком громоздок, а некоторые значки неинформативны. В 6 с этим, вроде как, получше будет.

    6. Шпионаж бесполезен(времени на воровство технологии нужно столько, что к тому моменту вы уже на 10 технологий вперед уйдете), а зачем нужна религия -- я так и не понял, ее единственная польза -- в закупках за очки веры. А, ну и возможность создать веру в Бога-Императора радует.

    Если говорить в целом, то 4 часть мне нравилась больше. Может со временем, я смогу снова запустить Циву5 и наконец-то распробую ее сполна и тогда начну ее любить, но пока что 4 лучше. Но это не значит, что пятую часть нужно проигнорировать -- в пятой части много интересных фишек, как то новая система войск или "артефактов", которая позволяет создать страну-"курорт". А учитывая низкую цену игры -- то сомнений быть не должно, надо поиграть.    … Expand

    Before I start my ramble I would like to say that only played the base game and from what I hear the game was greatly improved with DLC. My personal taste for turn-based strategy was shaped by the Total War series so naturally, I have that bias so take my opinion for what it is.

    With all that being said I can tell you that Civ V definitely has that one more turn, addictive nature to it.

    With all that being said I can tell you that Civ V definitely has that one more turn, addictive nature to it. I actually really enjoyed the beginning moments of the game as you are trying to discover new blocks and getting into small battles with barbarians. This element of discovery and not knowing what is around you gives the game a sense of wonder. Building and expanding your nation is pretty easy to figure out without many handholdy tutorials in your face. You can find what you need to learn in the menu fairly easily. The technology upgrade system has a lot of different choices and is surprisingly detailed. The combat is kind of dull and simulation-based but that was to be expected. I was just hoping for some varied animations and creativity.

    The game for me really started to show its flaws around mid-game as I was discovering other nations. I quickly started to realize that the diplomacy system is not in anyway detailed or functional enough for what I would expect out of a civilization game. Trading seemed overly simplistic. If the nation likes you they will trade, if they don't they won't. From the very beginning, I was very confused as to what the winning conditions were and equally confused as to who I should be attacking and who I should be allying with (this just may be my lack of experience with this specific game).

    Overall I guess I can say I enjoyed the game but was disappointed with the overall mechanics of the AI. I would say to the developers that if this is the style of turn-based strategy that you are going to present you really need to focus on the depth and detail of your diplomacy. Also, just be a little more clear on what I should be focusing on to achieve victory. Good game 7/10.    … Expand

In Civilization V, the player leads a civilization from prehistoric times into the future on a procedurally generated map, attempting to achieve one of a number of different victory conditions through research, exploration, diplomacy, expansion, economic development, government and military conquest. The game is based on an entirely new game engine with hexagonal tiles instead of the square tiles of earlier games in the series. Many elements from Civilization IV and its expansion packs have been removed or changed, such as religion and espionage (although these were reintroduced in its subsequent expansions). The combat system has been overhauled, by removing stacking of military units and enabling cities to defend themselves by firing directly on nearby enemies. In addition, the maps contain computer-controlled city-states and non-player characters that are available for trade, diplomacy and conquest. A civilization's borders also expand one tile at a time, favoring more productive tiles, and roads now have a maintenance cost, making them much less common. The game features community, modding, and multiplayer elements.… Expand

    The decision to remove unit stacking is absolutely genius and makes the civ franchise 100 times better.

    With Vox Populi this game becomes a 7 or an 8. Without it the AI is bad and the game is unbalanced and simple so 6.

    Despite my gripe with the animations in multiplayer, Civilization V is the perfect entry for the series' debut in the current generation of gaming.

    We're just a little bit disappointed that this Civ evolution isn't as polished as we'd expected. [Issue#102, p.108]

    An old franchise that knows who to evolve to adapt to modern times. Its latest new ideas might not be perfect, but serve the purpose of making the game even more interesting.
