    While the never-ending climb to be the game that's played on multiple platforms is seldom a very good goal to shoot for, it seems like that was the main priority with Sid Meier's Civilization VI.

While I rarely will consign a game of such magnitude with a mixed to negative review, this specific title has me hovering over the 4 score. The AI is frequently nonsensical with commonly ridiculous decisions that throw your game for loops often, which can similarly be enjoyable when juxtaposed with an option to not have a random attack placed on you. The animations are disappointingly ugly. The predecessor went for a look far more realistic to real world images, while these seem like random jpg shots assembled to vaguely recreate a Disney animated character's emotions. While I am nevertheless aware that this is far more of a personal grievance, its still something that should be addressed. I realize I haven't given this game much credit, but I will give it this, its entirely easy to sink 3 hours into this game, it has a classic Civ feel for the most part, and withholds re-playablilty for future games. I'm really of the mindset at the moment that in order to not stray away from the mobile and console releases of the game, they just dumbed down features for the PC edition, which, as such, does not present me with a very enjoyable game. It leaves features, interactions, and situations often half-baked and uninteresting. Which, in my opinion, is half of the game.… Expand

    Отличная игра, затягивает и долго не отпускает от экрана. В игре приятное звуковое сопровождение, графика радует глаз, все ярко, красочно и сочно. Однако, в игре есть некоторые пробелы в геймплеи.

ВОтличная игра, затягивает и долго не отпускает от экрана. В игре приятное звуковое сопровождение, графика радует глаз, все ярко, красочно и сочно. Однако, в игре есть некоторые пробелы в геймплеи. Поиграв около месяца, я пришел к выводу, что древо развития науки необходимо качать только в одной последовательности, только в таком случае получается победить на уровне сложности божество. В итоге переигрывать утомляет, так как прокачка сводится всегда к одному. После развития цивилизации ты начинаешь атаковать соперника и тут начинается самое интересное, если Вы играете на большой карте, ваш марш бросок может затянуться на недельную игру. И это не зависит от мощности соперника, а время тратится на передвижение войска на 1-2 клетки и довольно долгое ожидание хода противника. Надоедает вплоть до нажатия кнопки alt+f4. Я перечислил то, чем игра меня не устроила и как по мне становится неиграбельной после 4-5 побед на компьютером. Возможно в онлайне дела куда веселей, но с ai играть утомляет. В целом моя оценка 9/10 аналогов игры нет и поиграть стоит всем!… Expand

    There's many things that annoy me with Civ VI, one of them being laughably bad AI - and I really mean laughably bad. I can't count the number of times I've laughed at AI opponents for acting really weird (like being my best friend one turn, only to be a sworn enemy a couple of turns later).

    Another thing that, at least for me, is completely unique with Civ VI is the fact that winning isn't fun - and what I mean by that is that it doesn't really matter. You don't care if you win or lose, because you know you could win every game if you just went for the science victory (which is just about the only reasonable way to win a game it seems). You don't play to win, you play just for the fun experience of expanding your territory and exploring the world.

    Overall it's a good game. It's a fun game to play with friends if you're looking for a more relaxed experience.    … Expand

    Great game, very pleasant to start your own empire. But God, it is so tedious later in the game, every turn takes sooo long, and there is no action. Just building stuff and waiting for it to be built

    I enjoyed the game a lot for a while, but the battles/games tend to be too long, and after a few weeks I felt kind of done with it. The civilazations and units seem very well designed, but I did not feel like replaying too many times.

    Each component of the game seems to have no effect or of little consequence to all of the other components. Still very fun, and the dlc is worth it

    I was really into total war Warhammer 2. Because of that, I decided to try others strategy games like civilization. But this game is not for me. The IA doesn't make sense and the progression is boring.

    Divertido com bastante conteúdo e várias maneiras de finalizar. Só achei um pouco monótono e demorado pra finalizar, talvez por causa dos turnos serem "lentos".

    I believe Civ VI accomplishes everything it's predecessor did. It's engaging, it's beautifully crafted, it's innovative, and it sucks you in for hours on end. The introduction of districts was a brilliant choice, and the strategies/play styles are as diverse as ever. Another masterpiece within it's genre.

    différent du 5 mais tout aussi bon . fun de finir des game avec la culture et la science mes dur de faire des victoires en mode guerre et gagner en tuant votre adversaire, car plus facile davoir 8-10 villes sur le long-terme. le mode rapide et la religion a plus d importance dans les précédant CIV. c'est un très bon jeux dans l'emsemble

I mean AI of course, but diplomacy, trading and this things they call barbarians for example. But this is just worst than ever. Diplomacy is just nations trading luxury goods like kids exchange collectibles they have twice, trade is just some caravan trading things which dont exist in the game.
    Worst and last, barbarians. Someone can tell to me what are they in the real world ? Are they human ? i really dont understand the meaning of barbarians in a game called Civilization... I want to know who are these humans who have for only goal, for more than 6000 years, to ransack cities ? i can accept that simply concept in a game in 1991 (hey! i was only 13 at that time) but after all this time playing civ games, i was hopping for another gameplay loop, much more consistent than that. The fact that the option to disable them exist from the beginning of the series must prove that developers themselves notice that this feature is a bad one.
    In fact, Cilization is a lazy franchise since Civilization IV.    … Expand

    Packed full of details to amuse the micromanager or the relaxed overseer. Whether you want to dig deep into your cities population workings, or use a 50,000 foot view to amass a huge army, this game has it all. The complexity is refreshing and the game looks and plays fantastically.

Learning nothing from this (or perhaps learning people will begrudgingly accept being nickel and dimed for their niche), Civ 6 suffers from this same issue and is anemic of past features, civilizations, and wonders in the base game. While it does feel like a complete game once you buy all of it's current DLC, are you really willing to spend the full $167 when for it?
