    It may not have inherited the fantastic atmosphere of its predecessor, but the systems have improved even more. It's a bit disappointing that the AI doesn't fully utilize these systems.

    It's a pretty good entry in to the series. It does feel a little repetitive, and I found after getting 30 odd hours of fun from it games felt a bit of a chore. It's pretty consistent with the series except a few changes, so fans of previous games will likely enjoy.

    Really fun to play with friends.

    Don't bother playing it alone, the AI is absolutely worthless.

    Also the graphics are somehow much worse than 5.

    Districts are a cool idea, but overall its inferior to 5 + Vox Populi.

    The best entry on the franchise, my favorite among the II and the II (yup, I'm nostalgic), good gameplay, beautiful graphics (better with mods), my only complain is about the price, the dlcs are too expansive, almost the price of a full game.

    The game clearly has its problems (extremely predictable AI, strange difficulty curve) but is nonetheless a ton of fun. The district mechanics are wonderful, warring is great (though a bit easy & too powerful) and the artstyle is satisfying. IMO the game really shines with the different civ/leader abilities which help at making every game unique.

    I have more than 2000 playhours. (500 from dlcs). I can say that AI is pretty challenging in this game. But exaggerations are unnecessary. AI is not that clever, they have the starting advantages after all.
    They added pretty much to CIV 5, playing this game is more smooth than CIV5.

    Amazing game, absolute masterpiece.

    Civilization is one of my all-time favorite games, and the leap from the fifth to the sixth game is epic. It offers new mechanics, tons of stuff to do and build and a fresh new look over the older games. There is some new and relaxing music, more factions and overall, it is a huge improvement over the previous game. Civilization has always been a    Amazing game, absolute masterpiece.

    Civilization is one of my all-time favorite games, and the leap from the fifth to the sixth game is epic. It offers new mechanics, tons of stuff to do and build and a fresh new look over the older games. There is some new and relaxing music, more factions and overall, it is a huge improvement over the previous game.

    Civilization has always been a turned based game in which you can build, move, attack or improve buildings in your turn. Every faction does their move simultaneously and after that, a new round starts. You win the game by conquering all the capitals, achieve cultural victory, science victory or a religious victory. This means that you are not bound to one specific goal. If your military sucks for example, you can try to build as many museums, theaters and zoo’s as possible, to get victorious on tourism and culture. You can trade with other factions/people, build alliances, open your borders, make some shady deals, it is just great.

    You can play as many different world leaders from the days of old to the modern era. Alexander the Great, Saladin, Queen Victoria, and many more, they are all there. They all have their special bonusses and you should take advantage of them by building your empire accordingly. For example, Saladin is more focused on religion and trade and only in the starting eras, his military is strong. When the modern age arrives, you really struggle to achieve military successes. Every character has a little backstory that is historically accurate and fun to read.

    The game is meant to be played online against friends or other people but offers some scenarios and a skirmish mode for you to play solo. You can always play against the AI factions, which are really well done. The balance of the AI is great and if you want a challenge, you will surely get it.

    This installment in the series offer new mechanics like natural disasters, new ways of collecting resources from the map and a new system in which your era score determines if you are entering a golden age or a dark age. With a golden age, you prosper and thrive, with a dark age, you struggle to come around. You earn era score by discovering great inventions, doing research and achieve eureka moments. These new mechanics do require some DLC tough. I really liked the natural disaster mechanic, but sometimes, it got a little over the top. When you see your towns melt away by an active volcano, your harbor washed away by the twelfth million flood and see Darude with his sandstorm, raving over your farmlands, you know, they got no mercy on you.

    The graphics and animations are beautiful. The map is blooming with life and movement, and I really like that everything is just so colorful and detailed. Many times, I zoom in close on my empire to see all the different quarries, lumber mills and dams spin and turn.

    The sound effects and music are perfect. They are well designed for this game, and I think this is one of the better sound and music designs I have seen. The ambient music is really relaxing and when your units engage in combat, the shots and hits sound just great.

    Like usual, Civilization is a hard game. It takes strategy, practice and management to master this game and even then, factors like starting point, barbarians and aggression from other players or states weigh even heavier. However, the game does offer excellent tutorials and gives you a fair chance to learn it.

    Civilization VI is a game that I play to relax, with or without friends. Just taking my time, slowly building and developing my empire. I feel no stress, no time pressure, just pure joy and chill. It is one of the few games that I can always pick up and play, without it ever boring me. Maybe Civilization VII will be even better, I don’t know, but for now, this is just a masterpiece of a game that will always be one of my favorites.

    Definitely recommend this gem.    … Expand

Civ3 and Civ4 are history masterpieces, and Civ5 was a great great game, only a little more simplified/user friendly version of Civ 4 with less struttures but still be a great game where u have a great heat.

    The good: The graphics are great. There are some new decent tweaks to aspects of the game like culture, civics and golden ages.
    The bad: movement. The change to movement where trying to move into difficult terrain ends your movement, though it makes sense, sloooows the game down to a snails pace. Even a scout exploring the map is reduced to a tile a turn in diffcult terrain. And roads are practically useless until modern times and/or the railroad. You know roads are useless when your units ignore them when auto-moving across your empire. So moving across your empire in classic times, with roads, can take you 100s of years, I kid you not.
    1 unit per tile. They did away with unit stacks in Civ 5 to avoid the doom stacks, and I didn't complain as much there. But here, topped with the slow movement rates, makes the movement worse. Units can't stack with friendly units so city state units are constantly in the way while aimlessly wandering the map, taking it even longer to move across your empire. You can't auto assign a military unit to protect a trade unit. You can't stack non-military units for some reason. I love how you need to remove a unit from a city just to buy or start construction of a new unit.
    AIs use of religion is just annoying and makes me want to quit everytime they ramp up sending countless missionary units to my empire. You can' t just close your borders to them like you do military units.
    The UI is disorganized and messy. It's harder to find simple city lists and yields from earlier games like Civ 5. Districts are a coll add but I had to download a mod to delete them if I change my mind and want to build somewhere else. User mods change a lot of simple issues that Firaxis has opted to ignore in favor of more expensive expansions.
    WE got a new civ every 5 years since Civ1 except we were due for a new one in 2021 but Firaxis added a yearly game-pass like expansion for Civ 6 instead of a new game. God help us if this is the last new Civ game because the core mechanics need a lot of work.    … Expand

This beloved franchise continues to take steps backward from its origins. What used to be a tactical strategy franchise for teens and adults has been dumbed down s that even a grade schooler can figure it out. This is clearly a desperate move by executives to score a few extra bonuses while they trash the franchise without a care in the world. Though I am all for making games for everyone, this is not a Civilization game any more and they should have called it something else but they knew that if they had, it would have likely flopped.

    So whats the problem with civ6? Same thing as civ5 and same problem as the old horrible game on the xbox360 calling itself civilizations. They once again chose to go with the single unit per tile approach and very few tactical options as you advance through eras. Combat is straight boring because its too easy and the AI is predictable to the point that the only way they could manage to make the game harder was to give the AI insane types of cheats. This is how you know a game is poorly designed. How bad are the cheats? Well aside from the just pure multipliers to unit strength and economic stuff, they also give the AI double to triple your starting resources. How bad does it cheat? Well even on normal difficulty (Prince) they get a boost to science, culture and faith as well as a big boost to production and economy and a free tech. THATS ON NORMAL and yet, despite the advantage... they are a total joke because they cannot make good choices and that doesnt change with higher difficulty. So how do you overcome horrible design? Give more bonuses which is literally the least fun way to design a tactical game. How bad does it get? You start with 1 settler and 1 warrior but the AI will start with up to 3 settlers, 5 warriors, and 2 builders! LoL. Thats how bad the design is and you know what makes this even sadder? Even on that difficulty it only took 2 tries for me to figure out how to beat them silly. Thats how bad the AI is.

    Further the 1 unit per tile approach shrinks the map immensely taking away from any sort of feeling of scale. This feels more like a horrible tactical RPG made for 8 year olds more than it does civilizations. Remember Final Fantasy Tactics? That was great right? Well this i FFT with less than half the units and 95% of the spells and abilities removed. Does that sound fun to you? Maybe when I was 2nd grade.

    I can go into all the other stuff that has been cut from the old games to make this more accessible to the masses but it would just depress me. Civilization the franchise seems to be dead if you are an adult looking for good tactical gameplay. It might be ok if you are super casual or very young. Otherwise skip this and dont bother with civ5 either. The last decent civ game was 4.    … Expand

Ai spawns are atrocious, always spawn directly next to player. If an ai spawns by itself on its own continent, the game is lost. Difficulty is the most degenerate retarded design of this game. Ai gets cheat bonuses without getting smarter or difficult. Most higher difficulty games are ONLY challenging due to every AI attacking you upon contact. The moral of this game is haha you waste your time loser. A loss feels like a middle finger. A win feels jack shi due to the journey being insanely easy or absurdely stupid. The music is annoying as hell. constant loop for 4-5+ hours sessions which makes u mute it. Garbage game design. This game was released in 2016 and still buggy as hell. such as infinite loading when pressing end turn. constant crashes with updated graphics cards. Civ 6 does its best at telling you to shut the fk up and kill yourself. The leaders themselves are so poorly designed, unbalanced, garbage. Every game ends up either being science or domination victory due to poor ai combat skills and science being way too easy with no way to stop the final stage of science victory. The press conference is by far the most diabolical garbage in this game, dogsht. haven't met half the leaders in the game and expects you to vote for an ideological option.. except its designed to ruin your day as the ai will ALWAYS vote against you such as voting against bonuses against you or diplomatic wins. Its not 1 or 2 leaders. its EVERY leader who votes against you which makes this conference POINTLESS AF. I play on emperor difficulty as deity is full of **** but king is WAY TOO EASY. Half the game is getting rolled by AI and having to spend atleast 4 to 5 hours resetting. If an Ai gets science route and is on the final stage of the victory, YOU LOSE. DOGSHT GAME MECHANICS, Waste OF money and TIME.

    Don't bother. The game's AI is so incredibly stupid it makes playing pointless. I was mindlessly building on Deity, from the get-go knowing that the AI will not be able to challenge in anything. I even installed mods that are supposed to fix this problem, to no avail. For some reason the barbarian AI actually tends to do better and I had games where it wiped out a bunch of civs.

That's all cool and all, don't get me wrong, I like all the stuff that came out clear into early 2021. but the reality of it is the game is STILL a buggy mess. I've played it with several $2000+ dollar gaming pc's that I've built and my primary playing friend also has a top of the line PC, we've spent MANY HOURS trying all sorts of different things to get this thing to run smoothly, never once did we EVER reach turn 100 with just 2players without one of our games crashing, stalling, freezing, or some sort of issue that caused us to have to reboot the entire client, reload the game lobby, and start from an autosave. Very frustrating, there's so much potential here, just need someone to lead the efforts that can think bigger picture, they needed to tackle all the games ancillary stuff years ago instead of adding new little quirky things to the game.

    At least it is a Civilization game. When Civ 6 was released, I was skeptical of the ugly cartoonish art style and the district system. After playing on iPad and now on PC (technically Mac), I am still skeptical. Though not as bad as Civ 3, Civ 6 has some of the worst changes in the series.

    The game kind of looks like Civilization, but instead of playing as some kind of world history,    At least it is a Civilization game. When Civ 6 was released, I was skeptical of the ugly cartoonish art style and the district system. After playing on iPad and now on PC (technically Mac), I am still skeptical. Though not as bad as Civ 3, Civ 6 has some of the worst changes in the series.

    The game kind of looks like Civilization, but instead of playing as some kind of world history, global conflict simulator, the game plays like a board game that has a too few many rules. Instead of government, you have card that you play. Government is essentially meaningless. Choices are meaningless. What matters is using cards and board piece placement to maximize bonuses and then hitting end turn until you gain enough points in whatever to win.

    The district system is interesting and not in a good way. Instead of building improvements in a city, improvements are spread across the map. This means that wonders of the world like the Great Library will take up 100 square miles of land. (Maybe they need the space for parking.) It also means that if you want to build a library to increase science, you first have to build a campus and then a library. You can't just choose library and have the campus auto-built with it. (The delayed gratification if found throughout the game. Build a Missionary or a Rock Band and then waste its first turn giving it a promotion.) Need a quick boost to happiness? First you have to build an entertainment district before building an arena. How do the citizens feel about this? They have to drive 100s of miles to get from their neighborhood to the factory district. The whole district system is mocked by the game itself when builders have the options of making seaside resorts and solar farms without the need for a district.

    2K Games undercut the districts (and wonders) with the changes to how cities gain points for victory. Civ V went too far in the direction of fewer cities built big (tall gameplay). Civ VI goes to far the other way with no limit on the number of cities (wide gameplay). Every game benefits from investing in settlers to found more cities. Why build a district when you can build a whole new city? Why build an industrial zone when you can have more mines? The developers are hell bent on cost benefit so no mechanic is broken. But when every mechanic is nerfed, none of the mechanics matter.

    Civ 6 also kills many quality of life changes enjoyed in previous Civ games. A player cannot automate a city, so a world winning wide empire leads to toiling in tedious torment. Even in Civ V, which championed small empires, you could take over the entire world and set up all the captured cities as puppet governments. The a.i. would prioritize gold in every captured city and that was fine because gold is useful. Civ 6 doesn't even have an option to set the city to auto-generate projects like making more science.

    War is not great but it does include many of the strategic advancements from Civ 5. The barbarians in the early game are a nightmare. They always have the best weapons and generate 3 or 4 units at a time. It's like the early rushes from Aztecs in Civ 5, only now every game has a rush. Because builders must be rebuilt after every 3 uses, pillaging is a real pain in the ass. Units are so broken out by era that by the time you build an army to deal with a threat, it becomes obsolete. Meanwhile, the barbarians you marched toward for the last 20 turns are spawning the latest gunpowder units. Just so fun for players. And because 2K Games didn't know it wanted for strategic gameplay, armies are back.

    Did I mention the terrible selection of leaders? I like that addition of new and interesting leaders. I don't like the removal of old favorites like Caesar, Napoleon, and Lincoln. And please stop releasing games in a sad state only to sell the players more content with DLC packs. This is why I always wait so long to buy games. (Full disclosure: my son bought Civ 6 with all the DLC. I've been playing it through the Steam family sharing feature. )

    There are good additions. The district system means a player can plop down Golden Gate Bridge between two landmasses or dig a canal through a continent. Spies are more useful than Civ 5. Religious combat is its own thing (maybe too much its own thing). All-in-all, Civ 6 is the kind of Civ release that really makes you think "When is the next one?"    … Expand

There are difficulty options for sure but those options are not about the intellegence of the IA. They only give IA bonus adventages against you. For example at the hardest difficulty of the game I can survive to the end of the game by just not attacking anybody. With a little bit of a land advantage you can beat a division of modern technology tanks using some archers of ancient era.

Also, reduced map size as well!!

    Next up, the game has become much more unstable over the years with crashing a very serious issue, the new April update completely broke the game for many people and 2K are silent on this issue, which can be somewhat bypassed if you completely avoid using the new launcher, the game still criminally unstable though and it will crash, just a matter of what and usually the first crash is a forebear of more frequent crashes usually making it nearly impossible to finish a larger game, this issue is even worse on consoles.

    I can honestly say now, after the poor expansions and the typical milking of paid DLC..cough...new civilizations and the very poor stability of the game in general, this is easily my pick of the worst in the entire series, avoid this version and play Civilization V instead...lets hope they learn from their mistakes when Civ VII is released, these mistakes should never be repeated.

    Civilization games are properly reviewed after putting hundreds of hours in, not a merely a few dozen that obviously some of the reviewers, and even critic reviews are obviously not played enough to see the glaring issues that Civ 6 has, don't get me wrong here in the fact I do like Civilization 6 its just >right now< its not nearly as good as Civilization 5, but with time and alot of balancing and fixes it could be just as good, I doubt it'll be better, but it can be just as good imho, and that comes from a hardcore Civer since Civ 1.

    The problems with Civilization 6 are numerous, from limited options - to bland and highly predictable A.I and unfortunately, the god awful cheating scripts are back on higher difficulties to fake increased difficulty. So, lets start - Barbarians need better options, currently its off or 'rampage mode' since they all have a high spawn rate, they need a more options. Next up is the slow paced gameplay, standard modes pacing is very odd, at times it feels like a Marathon game then quickly speeds up then slows down..the pacing feels all over the place, and because of that - the A.I which tends to follow the date is terms of advancement can suffer too, a classic example of this would be;

    Player increases research and lets say enters industrial period, the date per turn will usually increase/decrease depending on the date, lets say its 1500AD, the DpT will increase for a while until its more in-line with the era, for some reason that seems to give the A.I huge buffs and they'll rapidly increase in research and power sometimes, heck - I've seen them jump from renaissance period to modern period extremely fast defying all logic, but since I've seen England get Ironclads as early as the 1200AD...honestly it doesn't surprise me since the pacing is definitely way off the mark.

    A.I is stupid, obvious and stupidly good, the latter is the problem because it will attack with better strategies than the previous games, however the major problems is that alot of the times its rather obvious what its trying to do - such as Sumeria spawning 20 war wagons and then slowly moving them to your civilization to launch a surprise attack...well *I'm* surprised the A.I did that - wow! Another problem is the fact the AI hates human players, to a point there isn't any reason to be nice to them, they'll break every single promise you make with them, they'll attack you relentlessly and the diplomacy is plain weird to a point it just feels broken, don't get me started on how broken the warmonger system is - essentially by late game the world threatre is pretty much everyone hates everyone and denouncing is just rife.

    Another major problem is the fact that the game feels so slow paced compared to previous games, districts take way to long to build, especially late in game where its not uncommon for it to take 30+ turns for one district, because of the pacing issues, making spawling and large civilizations is nearly impossible to do now. I could go on and on here about all the issues, from nitpicking about special ability balance such as Electronics Factory, or how the game suffers from strange bugs that cause input lag, especially late game so I'll just close with this statement again;

    Civilization 6 right now, is no way near as good as Civilization 5 at this present time. With patches and some expansion packs it could be great - but Firaxis needs to fix alot of the mechanics and do some balancing.    … Expand

You get the pleasure of sitting their for upwards of 2 minutes waiting for the 2K launcher to download the update and install itself before you can finally actually launch the game for the second time! And all the 2K launcher is there for is basically to waste your time. Let us not forget there is already often one other layer of launcher below this 2K launcher such as steam. The AAA industry will soon have launchers three layers deep if they keep going on this trajectory. And it is unforgivable given how slowly their game loads (even off of an SSD) to layer more crap in-between. The time it takes from clicking the icon and getting into a match is so nuts they need the magnificent voice of Sean Bean to distract from the wait. And let me tell you, the wait is barely worth it. Civilization VI is underwhelming title at best; it needed years of DLC to be fleshed out into something resembling an actual game. The addition of the launcher is just the icing on the s**t cake that is Civilization VI. Whenever I see the logo of a AAA publisher such as 2K it makes me run for the hills because who knows what messed up garbage will get shoehorned into their titles after launch. From this point forward, I will not buy a 2K game until its been out for at least 5 years so I know what nonsense they've put into it once the initial reviews are all in, and if I see a launcher will refund the thing immediately. The only saving grace for this incarnation of Civilization is that unstacked cities are a decent idea, and they added a couple of decently interesting modes such as monopolies and secret societies. Without these it would easily be a zero out of ten, with little reason to deal with the hassle of the launcher.… Expand

Great generals' static +5 strength/ +X movement to nearby military units is the only one worth getting.
    8. Cities are WAY too strong. The instant a settler founds a city it becomes way stronger than any melee unit. Cities are bullet sponges. It takes 5 turns of 3 archers spamming arrows into it to bring down any city's defenses. Go back to the old system where the only thing defending a city is the military unit in it.

    Got this most recent incarnation for free off of the Epic store.

    The game was pretty fun for a while on the first try, and stopped when I beat it once. Didn't feel like it was worth playing anymore.

    Kind of a let down. It needs some quality of life elements added to the UI. Why repeat some of the same dialog options over and over again when they didn't matter for instance. Such dialogs could have a "don't show me again" checkbox.

    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

    What reviewers did Sid Meier blow to get 8.8? This game is pure nerd trash. Just the epitome of a bad inside joke amongst guys who are flabbergasted that big name companies continue to make niche games for fat guys who still play board games. What a waste of money.

    Very exciting and simple game. Easy to learn. -1 point for dampness without dlc, but for a novice player that is enough.

    They tried to change a lot of things. I agree that a new game is done to keep people playing. But this one is the worst civ that I played. I haven t tryed rise and fall yet.

    Civilization VI is an amazing strategy game, which everyone who like the genre absolutely try! The visuals are at this point really good but some improvements could be made with the next gen. The mechanics and updates are great and when you buy the dlc 's the content does'nt get boring after some time. overall:
    Graphics 8/10
    Gameplay 9/10
    Updates 10/10
    Dlc 's 10/10

    Good game, although the meta is quite annoying, I hate having to spam cities throughout the entirety of the match in order to have the best chance at winning and it does get quite boring late game.

    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.

    The game is enjoyable but the main thing with it is the AI and the difficulties in the game.

Basically the AI is super dumb in all difficulties but it gets advantages from the beginning and in combat, which makes it very difficult to win a game in higher difficulties, I feel like it is possible to do it with certain civilizations and it certain scenarios only. Science is super overvalued, the amenities system is a little bit complicated and the royalty system is a little bit annoying too (this last thing is optional). Apart from that is a good game, obviously if you are on pc you can make some changes and “fix” the difficulty problem taking away some of those crazy advantages but then you will probably end up playing like in prince difficulty. There are plenty of civilizations and there are multiple ways to win, some easier than others but still, it gives more options for you.… Expand

    Loved CIV V and can't stand this game. Too many things going on that don't improve the game play. Don't like builders vis a vis workers.

    This game is not without faults. But, despite all its shortcomings, it gets a hold of you which is very difficult to get out of. It is just SO MUCH fun crafting your own story and imagining the history of your own world. That's right - your world. While there is no explicit story to Civ, every new game is a story - and you're both the one who tells it and the one who takes everything in.This game is not without faults. But, despite all its shortcomings, it gets a hold of you which is very difficult to get out of. It is just SO MUCH fun crafting your own story and imagining the history of your own world. That's right - your world. While there is no explicit story to Civ, every new game is a story - and you're both the one who tells it and the one who takes everything in. Before you know it, after finally overpowering the German defenses thanks to researching gunpowder, you look out the window and see the sunrise - just how is that possible when you went to grab some water at midnight a few turns back?

    Just as every installment in the series, VI brings a fundamental change and does not just reiterate what its ancestors offered. V got rid of the stack of doom and brought hex tiles - VI builds on that by adding districts to build on those hex tiles! Your cities now sprawl, mix, and merge, they don't just sit in there. Take advantage of the various bonuses each district, leader, or civilization have to offer, and build the best city there ever was!

    What is not so fun? Well, after you get the hang of it and start feeling confident beating the game on Prince - which is the standard difficulty, offering no bonuses to you or the AI - you start to challenge yourself by moving up the difficulty ladder. Unfortunately, the AI just does not change and the only difference is that the AI is offered starting bonuses, such as more settlers and warriors, which range from mild to outrageous at the highest difficulties. What this means is that your strategy doesn't really change - you just have to survive the initial onslaught and start snowballing. I would say once you start beating 100% of your Prince games, you're ready to beat Deity. Just take it one game at a time and you'll see. However - I wouldn't fault the devs here, Civ is a complex game and AI doesn't just happen.

    I would like for Firaxis to revisit the war frontlines as well. Sometimes, you just want your strategic resources and not the whole city associated with it. I think dynamic borders and frontlines would bring much depth.

    The DLCs are preferred but I don't feel they are strictly necessary as would be the case with Civ V. Look into mods, not only can they offer new civs or leaders, but can improve the UI and gameplay.

    Absolute recommend for Civ players, 4X game enthusiasts, alternate history nerds and worldbuilders, strategy game and board game fans. This is where it's at.    … Expand

    Less interesting and doesn't bring new thing comparing to 5th part of the series, but still feels like a nice and fresh version of what is best in this genre.

    Hot garbage. Constantly crashing when alt tabbing and since I'm new to civ I need to alt-tab a lot (to look at wiki and short guides).
    So disappointing that games can't even run anymore, it was much more simple in the day.

    Sid Meier's Civilization VI is an alternative to the traditional gameplay of the fifth instalment. It expands the original strategy with new skill trees, units, resources and diplomacy. It is also the prettier game between it and Civilization V, with fully integrated multiplayer and modding support.

    This game is good, fun to play strategic game with unique mechanics and characters, i enjoyed my time playing it, but, every game has it's problems, and this is no different. I didn't notice any game breaking bugs nor crashes, but the ai in the game could have a big improvement, it is bad in many aspects and easy to beat up. I think that 8 is a fair score.

    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.
