    that being said. i do agree with some negative aspects highlighted by reviewers, most notably the bad AI and the concept behind higher difficulties. AÍ is better only regarding barbarians; they are smarter and certainly more annoying than earlier games, as they should be. but some civilizations are just plain stupid.

    on higher difficulties, advantages are given to the AI that border on ridiculous. that should not be considered higher difficulty, only an unfair handicap.

    a lot of people are complaining about the art direction. for me it's just a matter of taste, i can't really say it's badly done or anything. same goes for the interface.

    the new additions to the game are refreshing and interesting. districts rule. civics tree and government cards rule. i can't wait to master them. overall, it's a big improvement on Civ V.    … Expand

    Any fan of the Civilization series will tell that you can’t fully judge each instalment until all the expansions are added, but VI is possibly the most complete the series has been right out of the gate. There are of course all the new technologies, units etc. you’d expect from a sequel but the addition of ideas like districts, which specialise in certain building types, adds even greater depth whilst still keeping things relatively accessible. The only real negative remains the A.I, particularly when it comes to conflict, but if (like me) you play online against friends and family this is largely negated anyway.    … Expand

    Another issue I have is the UI. It is too clean and sterile and looks like a work application more than a game, especially the various menus you go through when starting a new game.

    But despite these qualms I really do enjoy the game and will continue to play it. It is a bit harder than Civ 5 so far, or perhaps I am just not used to the new mechanics and need to relearn the basics.

    If you like Civ games, you'll still enjoy this, but if you are new to the franchise, you might want to try an older one to make sure you enjoy this style of gameplay.    … Expand

    From my first hours with this game it does feel like it gained a whole lot of complexity and decision making compared to the rather dumbed down Civ V. However - it departs quite a lot from earlier concepts in my opinion. Cities, Districts, science and social science - there is a lot more to take into account .. in theory.

    I would describe the visuals as a similar evolution as "The Sims    From my first hours with this game it does feel like it gained a whole lot of complexity and decision making compared to the rather dumbed down Civ V. However - it departs quite a lot from earlier concepts in my opinion. Cities, Districts, science and social science - there is a lot more to take into account .. in theory.

    I would describe the visuals as a similar evolution as "The Sims 4 did to The Sims 3". The look is less "realistic" and more "cartoonish" - reasonably a good choice ... as the whole interface as in playing field (map) of civilization never looked realistic but more like a board game anyway. The cartoon designs are nice (unless you really dislike bobble heads).

    The UI in its current state is useless though. Many functions can be done via keyboard commands - but do not show up as options on screen. (like delete unit)

    When you turn on "autoturn" - the game may present you with a choice to make - only it does not allow you to make the choice anymore, because it already switched to a new turn of players - hence forcing you to close the menu and wait for your turn again. I have also not found a way to manually stop autoturn - but remain forced to wait untill the game decides that i can take action again.

    Districts and enviromental decisions are an awesome development decision and make each city much more unique and meaningful than ever before in a Civilization game. Visually however - it downgrades cities to what feels and looks more like little towns.

    In my several attempts at the game (2 times in prince and 1 time in hardest difficulty) - the AI seemed appropraite - with the hardest AI still cheating in terms of resources and buildtime .. or so it seemed. The AI appeared to be reasonably aggressive but also smart enough to pull out before it exhausted itself too much in an offensive war that would not really benefit it much. (it did however declare war numerous times for no apparent reason)

    Zooming out on the main map is .. for some reason .. very limited. The furthest zoom feels like a medium zoom in Civ V. However - the map is nicely drawn and animated and quite pretty to look at.

    Performance-wise the game runs better than Civ V - but AI turns still take a long time (at 8gb ram that is).

    All in all - i did not feel like a "god" anymore - leading my civilization through the ages - but more like a micro manager ... which is odd, because many things run automatically. Due to the limited zoom factor - large scale wars "felt" like a chore - but also because unit management, defense and attack is much more complex now than it was in Civ V.

    And it may be just me - but the tech tree seems smaller... like significantly smaller. (yes, even social and science tree put together ... maybe because you research 2 techs together now)

    All in all - this is an enjoyable game .. as is to be expected from the Civ franchise. (at least that is what i ll stand by - once they bring back renaming cities and civilizations ... i really dislike not being able to customize those things)    … Expand

    Civilization VI is a strange new world. It seems to bring back a good bit of the SimCity-ness of the original. The leaders are bigger jackasses than in any previous Civ. It's like they learned how to interact with people from EVE Online mission agents.

    The game seems to be made inefficiently or uses inefficient tools. Tasks that should be simple takes a round about way to complete therefore require higher specs for PCs. This seems to be a trend for new games.

    Game design/mechanics could have seen more and better improvements, in this respect the game is still really a 7.

    For players that havent played civ 5.

    You control a civilisation with a starting city on a map divided up by tiles with a number of other civilisation like you and some neutral cities.

    You use your city to build buildings to give you different kinds of resources/currency like production capacity, faith and more. There are a few different tech trees that you constantly have to select which route and option to pursue. The speed you progress through these tech trees is determined by the relevant resource - faith, culture, science, etc.

    There's also limited diplomacy function and a number of different victory conditions you can choose to meet other than domination which means you conquer every other civilisation.

    The game play is quite slow and rigid after a while and you get familiar with it.    … Expand

    Everything is a clear refinement of CIv 5 and its expansions. Religion might be a bit too simplified. People complain about the graphics style but they make it easier to know what's going on in your empire. A major issue would be the ai which is seriously retarded, Brutally overpowered in the early game and a joke after the mid game, i hope to play it when these issues are improved.

Also by being unable to restart a game and having to go back to main menu just kills me. This is really a negative in my opinion.

    - Stupid AI, i could go for a science victory and play almost whole game without war. I was dominating at science, cultural and military field no.1 of 8 civs left and the little ones keep blackmailing me with stupid request, that I should give them gold. I rejected. If I am the world leader, i make demands, others pay me.

    - combat is a joke, miss civ 5. Barbarians are not a problem actually, animations are slow, it doesnt feel like it is a game which I would like to use military units often. Civ 5 was much better here.

    - As a part time 3d artist I can clearly say, this cartoonish style is a bad joke. When I get a scout i see tiny kids wolf icon on top, like the game is for 5 year old kids. Battleship looks like big fat turtle.
    I thought civ 6 is supposed to be a serious game for serious strategic gamers, not kindergarden kids.

    Perhaps they used that cartonish graphics style to make the game faster, but i do not like it. I get used to it, but i do not feel I want to play the game again ( except scenarious). I could replay civ 5 again many times.
    I liked the combat much more.

    - All the new things are not practical actually. The policies and cards give you little impact. You can use only a few cards, but you a ton of them to choose from.

    - districts are interesting, but in practice they do not work well. I was playing in a big map with 10 civs. I was in renaissance and i could still build ancient world colossus. Wonders are seldom build. New sistem is not practical and real.

    - resources,.. I had 8 cities and still I was missing resources to build a single rifleman unit,... terrible. Not even a little realistic.

    End note:

    I no not feel I want to replay this game again. I could play civ 5 on and on. I got used to cartoonish style but still it ruins combat for me. As a part time 3d artis I can tell that cartoonish style is a bad joke, a disgrace    … Expand

    Introduction Civilization VI is yet another entry in the long lasting Civilization series. Civilization VI is a strategy game within the 4X subgenre. 4X stands for:    This game improves, refines and innovates to become the finest Civilization game to date. Unstacked cities, stacked units and improved trading to name a few (though the game's ruined by the bad AI though, I'll explain).

    Introduction

    Civilization VI is yet another entry in the long lasting Civilization series. Civilization VI is a strategy game within the 4X subgenre. 4X stands for:
    - Explore
    - Expand
    - Exploit
    - Exterminate

    Review

    These are 4 things that you will be doing in this game. You start off with a settler and a warrior unit, and then you are supposed to found your first city. You pick a location and start exploring. When exploring, you're looking for new places to expand. Land that you have claimed is exploitable, by constructing buildings or improvements. Finally, you will bump into other civilizations, and possibly conflict. To win, you have to exterminate everyone else (literally or figuratively).

    There are several victory possibilities:
    - Time Victory
    - Domination Victory
    - Religious Victory
    - Science Victory
    - Culture Victory

    This game improves upon Civilization V, yet it also lacks some features. Civilization VI features unstacked cities, and stacked units. It also now has a culture tree. These features improve the game IMO.

    The AI is actually worse compared to Civ V in my opinion. Also, you either love the art style or hate it. I like it, it's easy on my eyes and things are clear to read.

    While Civilization VI had some problems for a long time, it has been improved. AI was completely screwed up on launch, but has improved somewhat.

    Verdict

    I recommend this as a solid entry in the Civilization series, and a good strategy game overall. If you're not sure, get Civilization V, it's still a great game and is on sale a lot and is often under 10 euros for the complete edition.

    Were the AI to be significantly improved, this game would be a 10/10.    … Expand

    Gran cantidad de civilizaciones y de localizaciones. Las partidas son largas y el juego es super adictivo. Cierto es que no aporta demasiado a la franquicia pero es empezar una partida y no parar. Tipico jeugo de pc para echarle horas y horas.

    These reviews are insane. I love this game. It works well for me, and I use a Mac, which everyone knows isn't as good as a PC. I enjoy the strategy, leaders, randomness, victories, music, and almost everything. Problem is that it does crash at times and feels a bit worse than Civ V in certain ways. But it has improved for the most part and makes me happy.

    Oh my goodness, this game is great. I like the cartoonish style, it fits the game very well. I like the awesome fun of killing enemy units and conquering them. Building your own civilization is very fun. Although, the AI can be a bit stupid to say the least. Civ 6 is very fun and possibly one of my favorite games.

    More me this is the biggest negative in the game - repetitiveness. Doubling up the tech tree with the new culture tree just feels like a pop up window style annoyance. The buffs they give are extremely specific and narrow for the most part - a lot of making up the numbers. Each one is accompanied by a quotation read by Sean Bean. A lovely voice I never thought I got get tired of hearing. Well welcome to Civ 6. Other leaders will occasionally send you messages which take a very long time to voice, and they have very few to choose from - again you find yourself hammering the esc to get on with things.

    War is still fun, and the obnoxious warmonger penalty has had some revisions to make it slightly less so. However you can be friendly with one civ, neutral with another, and declare war on a third, and expect to be denounced by the first two in the same way.

    City distracts are a fun feature, adding a visual element and slight tactical placement to the specialising aspect of city development. A campus (science) near several mountains and another district is far more effective than alone in the desert for example.

    It's not bad, and I got it for £36 instead of £50 (seriously?) but it is quite boring and a little bit annoying.

    Too many little crappy buffs to click through, repetitive dialogue, diplomacy still pretty dumb, war is fun, districts are fun too.    … Expand

And “balance” is almost an objectively impossible scenario to achieve. I think at release, it is in pretty good shape (certainly much better than V). For the most part the new systems work, and work well. Districts are an interesting strategic development; faith is included from the start and has a similar implementation to how civ 5 works; the new card system for social policies is far more flexible than the previous social policies; and the separation of trees is a good feature. There are a couple of areas though where it falls flat. The first is the AI. This is tied closely to one of the design decisions – to keep one unit per tile. The fact is that strategically it is far easier to code an AI that has to contend with stacks as opposed to moving dozens of units across a diverse terrain. A carpet of doom is no more fun than a stack of doom. And when coupled with the new restrictions on movement, the liability of vast traffic jams is an annoying and persistent feature. The AI also has a significant problem in upgrading its units. And its not uncommon to be fielding tanks against an army of AI horseman. The AI is also not aggressive enough at expansion and is handicapped by not being able to wage war effectively. I also think that removing all restrictions on number of cities was perhaps not the wisest decision. The UI could also do with some attention as largely it looks bland and not having building queues is a pretty bizarre omission. Other than that though, it retains its same addictive feel, and once a few patches are out, it will be the same old civ. If you are sitting on fence and not sure whether to buy the game, then don’t.

    I've played all games in the Civ series, and all the derivatives. My fav is Alpha Centauri, and from the pure Civs, Civ 2. Civ 6 is basically Civ 5 with its 2 addons, plus even more unneeded stuff added on top. The series is moving in a direction which I don't like, piling up features that I don't want.

My fav is Alpha Centauri, and from the pure Civs, Civ 2. Civ 6 is basically Civ 5 with its 2 addons, plus even more unneeded stuff added on top. The series is moving in a direction which I don't like, piling up features that I don't want. They are tuning for dumber and dumber audience, trying to cash in on converts from mobile.

    The good:
    - well, it's still Civ. If you haven't played any of the Civ games, Civ 6 is a Civ game, and the tutorial is so friendly and accessible that you will even learn what a turn-based game is, in case you didn't know
    - like in Civ 5, combat is interesting, with units not dying after a single fight, there are adjacency bonuses and exp accumulation like in tactical wargames, just simpler

    The so-so:
    - the districts system (taken from Endless Legends), not that it was needed or adds much
    - the 2 separate trees for cultural and scientific advances - could have worked easier with a single tree, each tech just costing culture+sci.
    - graphics are obviously made for iPad players and kids, from which I suspect a planned port to mobile. I don't care about graphics much, but I can imagine this will upset many PC gamers
    - dragging cards to determine government and social policies - ok but i found bonuses of certain governments pretty strange. And I don't like trading cards games, so the whole aesthetic of cards being put in slots feels inappropriate here, at least to me.
    - city states - didn't like them in Civ 5 with their "quests" and attitude, though I know some people like the feature
    - workers can now only build 3 tile improvements after which they get "spent", and roads are built automatically by "trader" units - this apparently only slows down construction of tile improvements which isn't a bad thing but isn't good either
    - some techs get researched faster if a certain prereq is met (e.g. develop Archery faster if killed 1 unit with a slinger) - a good idea at first glance, but adds immensely to the rules bloat (more about that below)

    The bad:
    - in general, this plays too much like Civ 5 with its 2 addons, barely justifying the purchase ("why not just play Civ 5"?), and sadly carries over all the bad features added in those addons
    - still only 1 unit can be on a tile (annoying traffic jams)
    - tons of minor effects various things give which are hard to keep track of and which don't really change the game much. It almost feels like an RPG game where a chest piece gives +0.5% to fire resistance. The multitude of factors to consider doesn't make it a strategy game where you decide something but rather a tedious simulation with unclear, bloated rules which you mostly forget the next time you start a new game. Apparently the abundance of tiny rules makes the game simpler and takes away decision making. This game is so bloated that I wonder they could even bring it to release! It must have been a nightmare to test, debug and balance
    - religion is beneficial, even can be a victory type now, and there are tons of religions to pick from where you customize their tiny bonuses. You produce a "faith" resource which you can use (like gold) to buy things. This is ridiculous. Let temples make 2 citizens content and reduce that to 1 citizen after discovery of Scientific Method or something, that's just about how much attention religion should get in this type of game. I'm deeply saddened by the fact that they gave in to the political correctness train and started catering these complex games to religious market segments (do they even play Civ?)
    - tourism? Even a victory type for it (make more ppl in other countries come to you for a vacation rather than stay home)? This absurdity came in the 2nd Civ 5's addon, together with a minigame of putting great works of art into slots. But I get it: millions of Chinese are now cruising the world making selfies, so why not make a feature for them specifically.
    - the voiced-over texts for different countries which are shown/spoken each time you start or load the game. They aren't as idiotic as in Civ 5 but the overall feel of "glorifying" the player and praising him for something he hasn't even done (just picked up the game, haven't even won it) is stupid. Just check how little you get in Alpha Centauri for winning the game - a simple popup, and a score breakdown list. To me, that feels much more rewarding than this empty pathos.

    As I wrote in other reviews of other Civ games, Bryan Raynolds is not involved anymore (and he is the genius behind AC and Civ2 - the games I like the most). Civ 6 isn't a game made by passionate geeks who had tons of ideas. It's a franchise driven by market research. They want more players to buy the game, so they see what's popular now (e.g. Clash of Clans) and add that. It's the same thing that happened to the XCom, Fallout and many other games. My only hope lies with indies now. And it seems I won't have to uninstall Alpha Centauri any time soon.    … Expand

    -Неудобное (неинформативное) уведомление о событиях. Нет уведомления про рост городов.
    -Счастье заменённое довольством и разделённое по городам неудобно и неинформативно.
    -Политики в ветке культуры. Их очень много, большая часть из них узконапрвленны.
    -Дороги нельзя строить рабочими. Только торговцами.
    -Великие люди стали менее значимыми.
    -Что-то непонятное с ядерным оружием. Дурацкие перевод.
    -Нет вытеснения культурой клеток влияния государства.

    +Интересное решение с районами.
    +Удобный выбор фиксации добычи ресурсов в городах.
    +Интересное решение с рабочими и моментальным сбором ресурса.
    +Объединение юнитов в армию.
    +Более равнозначная возможность различной победы (культурная и религиозная)

    The worst of it is the balance and progression between the various units.
    For instance jet planes are a nearly unstoppable defence. The mobile SAM units are almost worthless. The only way to combat them is to bring your own planes.
    And the balance in the progression is off. The game is likely to be over from a cultural victory way before you get to have fun towards the space age.

    Maybe this is just a problem with computer games in general, but the AI seems pretty much the same one from CIV3.

    I really like the battles and the tech upgrades so I wish they would focus more on them. Now you are just considered a "war monger" if you fight for more than several turns.

    Instead of suggesting a future tech, why not just one? There could be futuristic laser weapons, hover tanks, antimatter bombs, etc.

    Somewhere I feel there is a great CIV game waiting to happen, but mostly the game appears to have had a graphics upgrade but the gameplay has stagnated.    … Expand

    I'm actually quite pleased with the game. There's truly only two things that I feel compromises the game. The first thing is, as others have mentioned, the AI.

I also don't like the system it has adopted from previous series that the AI gets bonuses depending on the difficulty setting. I would very much prefer if the AI were smarter in general and made better decisions, not that it got a bonus advantage. That's just lame. The second thing I don't like is the Sean Bean voice-over. It's not that I don't like him as an actor, but his voice sounds just wrong. His voice isn't meant for voice-overs. Simple as that. Because of this, I go for the German and Russian voice-overs despite being unable to understand them. I'm glad there are these options, otherwise this issue might have ruined it for me. Other than this it's a great game that most likely will be even better with patches and expansions. In it's current state it's a well earned 7 too me. It is thoroughly enjoyable and well worth buying.… Expand

    And lastly the game has some beyond earth vibe to it, there are many techs for witch you simple don't care, it doesn't have that magical progression feel that previous civs had.

    I liked a lot the addition of districts, cards and differentiation of social and science advancement trees. I also welcomed the new religious victory condition (even if it's kinda flawed, will write about it later).

    On the other hand the new graphic style and the lack of “penalties” for large empires (the game actually forces you to rush creating new cities in your empire, will write about it later) dragged things a bit down for me.

    So, in detail, the mechanics of this new Civilization game are very good, overall positively evolved from Civilization V, but since the game forces you to rush on city building you get two bad side effects:
    Capturing cities feels like a joke, for example you may end up capturing 10 to 15 cities in just a few turns with no real side effect on your empire.
    For the same reason (too many cities) religious victory condition is a mess, you will see 3~4 priests per city battling (yeah… that is lame) for religious supremacy which is beyond annoying.
    Again for the same reason it's just easier to colonize to get certain resources rather than initiate trading with other empires or trying to acquire influence over state-cities.
    To get you the idea, totally forget about Civilization V Arrigo Dandolo play style, it's just impossible with the current state of the game.

    Something I was worried about, because so many people pointed that out, was bad AI, but I have to say that in my 2 games AI was quite good, just a bit too aggressive, in everything (e.g. Teddy building a city in a tile between two of my cities, ending up with a oblong, space crippled city or Hojo declaring war just to move through my territory).
    Finally I have to say that at the moment leaders offer you a little bit of variance only at the very start of the game, middle and ending phases of the game are more or less the same whichever leader you get to play: huge empires, fought at least two or more wars, fairly high in all compartments (science, culture, etc).

    Would I recommend this game, yes, no doubt about it, but don't get it right now, wait till a few DLC are out (or even better a GOTY edition “final” pack) because there are both “flaws” and lack of diversity at the moment.    … Expand

Combat is the same, trade routes work the same, so does religion, enemy AI is just as stupid, etc.

    There are some areas where the game did some modifications though, the most noticeable being the Districts. This makes you "specialize" your cities as you can no longer build all types of buildings in the city and have to think very well what you build considering the amount of tiles you have available. The social policy system has been changed as well, for the worse in my opinion, as now you gain some social cards when researching a social policy and you can select the bonus of a number of these cards depending on what goverment you have. Again, like in Civ 5 there is no downside to any form of goverment and some of the combinations you make don't even make sense(for example you can drag the Rationalism Card to a Theocracy and you don't get any penalty).

    One thing that I liked is that you can boost your research of Tech and Social by making certain actions in the game. For example, building a number of Quarries can boost your Research towards Mansory, reducing the time you need to research this tech, or defeating barbarians can boost you research of Bronze Working and so on. This is the best addition in my opinion as you are no longer need to put a lot of effort in creating Science and Culture, especially if you like to play Military.

    I would rate this higher if it wasn't however for the horrible presentation of the game. I think everyone is already familiar with the horrible iPad graphics. Look, nobody expected this to have Battlefield graphics and you can talk all you want about unique art style but there is no excuse for a 60 dollar game in 2016 to look like a Fermium iPad game, especially when it looks worse than its predecessor. The sound isn't any better either. The Main Menu theme is fine and the choice of Sean Bean as the narrator is excellent, but the music in the main game sucks. Previous Civ games had classical music to listen to as you built your empire. This game has the type of generic crap that you usually hear in Facebook games.

    I've really enjoyed playing this turn-based strategy    I love grand strategy games and the prospect of playing any Civilization game always fills me with excitement. Civilization VI was acclaimed upon its release as being a glaring improvement over its predecessor. Now that the dust had settled and the game has been around for some time, I do not think they have told us the whole story.

    I've really enjoyed playing this turn-based strategy game, yet I admit I became a fan of the game's scenarios or expansions, and I was not totally convinced by the traditional sandbox mode that was always been my favourite previously. This entry of the series presents a considerable dose of new mechanics, but that after squeezed it is clear that they are only derivations of what already happened in the last expansion of the previous game. Two of those are mandatory to be mentioned given the fact that they change the planning of cities in a remarkable way. The introduction of specialized districts that add bonuses and allow for evolutions throughout the game has now ended with the random upgrades of each of the hexagons that we could make in previous games. The decision of where to put them messes with many things in the present and future. Each one obeys certain rules, giving more or less bonuses depending on their location. This seems simple seen individually, just choose the hexagon that assigns the biggest bonus and put the district there, nothing special... however this placement will interfere with the placement of new districts in the future, or with the improvement of the hexagons if some new bonus is discovered in that tile, or even with the placement of World Wonders. This has turned my usual farm-filled cities into sparsely upgraded cities, since any improvement I could make could stir up future bonuses. Speaking of improvements now the workers are consumables. In the old days we would leave them there to make automatic improvements and there you go. We never thought about them ever again, but they were continually in their toil to micromanage hexagons. Now they only make three improvements each and then we have to produce or buy a new unit. It is no longer workers who build the roads, but the merchants, who when starting a commercial route create the road to the city to which they are going. Briefly, these are the biggest changes that the game presents us.

    There are other changes but with less impact on gameplay. In my opinion all these changes made the game more interesting. The four forms of victory are now domination, religious and science that already existed, and the diplomatic changed to the cultural one. Now everything that does not involve war has become much more interesting. We can spread religion all over the world, with our missionaries and apostles being able to engage in religious battles with their opponents, something that involves lightnings and arms thrown in the air, until one of them gets tired and ends up dying of apparent religious boredom. The spies work in a funny way, and they give a good help to our development by stealing technology that saves us a good amount of shifts in our productions, something very important in a scientific victory. Planning our cities to offer maximum tourism is an exasperating challenge because it is a bit of trial and error since we do not know the practical results of our decisions. But in a game of strategy it is blood that we seek, and it is with war that we obtain it. Artificial intelligence has many flaws and it is in this aspect that it is more noticeable. If we choose a low level of difficulty, it does nothing, if we choose a high level it cheats and produces much more units than possible, overwhelming us by the magnitude of the numbers. Even though they are not able to have a decent strategy during a war, and whether it is against us or against another bot player, wars are never beautiful to see and always end up close to a draw. I have been declared war multiple times, so many that I do not always understand why. The speed with which they declare war does not mean that they end up attacking us, often they do not, and sometimes they can not even reasonably interpret the terms of the peace treaties, mostly to their disadvantage. If they consider that they are losing the war even if they are winning it, they have no problem offering us cities to end the war with.

    Probably they do not mind that becaus one of the game biggest issues. Spam of cities. There is no downside to have multiple ones because now the degree of satisfaction of the inhabitants is done one by one and not in a general way. It is also easy to solve their needs, which means that if we distract ourselves we are surrounded by a sea of adversary cities and with no space to expand. In the long run more cities represent more points to everything.

    Good aspects
    - Graphics is obvious (and not important to me in strategy franchises).
    - Unit promotions are not so broken. You can't start with autohealing planes (some improvements make you gain experience more quickly). In CIV 5 with 4 L3 bombers and a couple of land units you could defeat massive enemy offensives. Now there is not such imbalance.
    - The cities are not so broken. In the past building rush led you to very powerful cities with all possible advantages. Now districts make you spend tiles, as well as wonders, so you can't have everything. Additional districts need higher population, so you won't be able to build a lot of stuff on a city with little tiles or insufficient food flow.
    - Combat is somewhat better. There are not senseless unit upgrades: ranged units won't have useless promotions if they evolve into melee units and vice versa. Combat mechanics are also better.
    - Religious victory is not looking 100% perfect, but it's rather fun, as it is not a passive victory, you have to use well your religious units.
    - More balance between early, mid and late game. in general.

    Bad things:
    - New eras have a lot less flavour, as the new tech tree hasn't got those fixed era limits.
    - The interface is messier than before, sometimes you lack important information that you used to have in BNW.
    - The card system for the civics is almost nonsense. You have 50 cards unlocked, but you can use 6... and often you will find problems to find the interesting ones. That should be revised in future mods or expansions, because social policies are often meaningless and you research whatever comes next.
    - World wonders are a bit too weak. In civ5 some were too powerful and gave devastating advantages. in Civ 6 they generally give very poor advantages. Considering that you can waste 4 or 5 tiles in an important city to build them... it's annoying.
    - AI still stupid on combat and other aspects. The biggest need to improve gameplay was more or less ignored.

    To sum up, I think CIV6 will make me stop playing CIV5 and CIV BE. I find the game ABSOLUTELY BETTER than the previous ones. However I find some aspects that prevent me from giving it a bigger score.    … Expand

    Im not the biggest fan of the genre tbf, but this hooked me for 30 hr give or take. I guess its pretty overwhelming at the start but gets easiert after a couple of games. Mind you this game has about 50 % of the content hidden in DLC.
    Overall a solid game with decent depth, but it gets old pretty fast once you figure out how it works. Bigger maps are very annoying because not all win    Im not the biggest fan of the genre tbf, but this hooked me for 30 hr give or take.

    Bence fena değil ancak oyun yapısı gereği inanılmaz vakit alıyor. Bu kadar süre için verdiği keyif değer mi bilmiyorum.

    Oyun güzel ama belli bir seviyeden sonra kazanamıyorsunuz. Sadece zevk almak için değil de gerçekten ülke yönetmek için oynuyoruz gibi.

    DISCLAIMER: This is the first and only CIV game I've played.
    CIV VI does good job to introduce basics new players to the series, although some systems like the diplomacy stay unclear. Also the AI diplomacy seem illogical. The game is still very addictive and it is the primary example of a 'one more turn' game. The gameplay is very fun and satisfying. Cool game for LAN party with friends.

    A very good game, but the bots epicly dumb and if u wanna play multiplayer u need to find lots of other trustable player or everyone will just leave the game by turn 10. The game have lots of desync and connection issue as well.

    Еволюційна цивілка, але все одно не змогла перевершити 5-у. Можливо колись з 7-ю вийде краще

    I really want to like this game, but the imbalance between civs and the many silly (ie stupid) random game mechanics make it more of a headache to play than anything. First off, there are about 2-3 civs that will absolutely destroy anyone else they are near. Huge (yes huge) imbalance here. Sumeria and Scythia are ridiculously overpowered in the early game. Can they be countered? Yes. ButI really want to like this game, but the imbalance between civs and the many silly (ie stupid) random game mechanics make it more of a headache to play than anything. First off, there are about 2-3 civs that will absolutely destroy anyone else they are near. Huge (yes huge) imbalance here. Sumeria and Scythia are ridiculously overpowered in the early game. Can they be countered? Yes. But the process of doing so will cause you to fall so far behind anyone else that it's pointless to even try. Also, the barbarians are a nightmare. They show up on horses immediately. Have fun losing a ton of soldiers to them if you are unfortunate enough to happen across a gang of horsemen during your first 30 turns. Bottom line, there is nothing new here at all and the civ balance is a joke. The AI is ridiculously bad as well. Fun for a bit, then it's back to "well, I'll play again when they patch/fix these things".… Expand

    You don’t want to spend your night in front of the computer? You have a wife and kids? You cherish your friendships and enjoy parties? Beware of this game. It’s that good. [13/2016, p.44]

    It's a more playful, fun feel to the franchise, perhaps, but all that's wrapped around a deeply nuanced game. If you've ever enjoyed playing a multi-layered, immersive and strategic board game with a bunch of funny characters, get in here.

    Firaxis has made some significant, exciting changes, but has also obscured vital information. [Christmas 2016, p.70]
