    Good game design and better territory logic. After playing this game we must be proud that we have an optimistic in mind and have a good friend

    Unfortunately there's no way to trust most negative reviews by users on Metacritic, just like there's no way to trust most positive reviews by media.

    Most negative reviews by users are from people who seem to a) never have played a Civ game from start to finish or b) play expecting something different than a 4X strategy game. that being said. i do agree with some negative aspects

    Most negative reviews by users are from people who seem to a) never have played a Civ game from start to finish or b) play expecting something different than a 4X strategy game.

    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.

    The latest in the long running turn-based strategy game series this sixth instalment, as it has always been, is all about guiding and developing a civilization from their first settlement through to the modern age with the goal of beating your (AI or human) opponents.

    The latest in the long running turn-based strategy game series this sixth instalment, as it has always been, is all about guiding and developing a civilization from their first settlement through to the modern age with the goal of beating your (AI or human) opponents.

    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.

    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.

    :::: Buy Warning! :::: The game is definitely incomplete without the DLC. They are sure to add many new Civ's plus whatever else. I suggest buying either the Deluxe version (including all future DLC) or waiting until all DLC is released and purchasing in bulk at a Steam Sale near you.

I rank this an 8/10 mostly because I know these things can be easily fixed and once they are it will be a lot more fun, all the building blocks for a good game are on the table they just simply need to be built. If you are unsure about buying this game, I would say wait a few weeks until these bugs are worked out. If you like Civ games, you will like Civ 6 (once its fixed), if you don't like Civ games, this is not exactly the time to get in to. 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.

    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)

    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.

    After several days of playing, Civ 6 has really grown on me, becoming more engaging and entertaining as I slowly master the various mechanics to city management and global diplomacy.

    However, had this not been a series that I was already a big fan of, I don't think I would have given the game more than an hour before uninstalling. First impressions and all that.

    Civilization 6 has some really awesome features I really enjoyed the new mechanics, new diplomacy and and the slight buff in civilization abilities, making the game slightly more fast paced, however the game still feels incomplete, To few Civilizations mostly, hoping for some expansion packs soon and the AI still needs some work.

    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.

    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.

    The cons are the AI , no real update. The same thing happened in civ 5 where lets be friends and then in 10 turns WAR! This stuff is till happening. The UI and the start menu feel a little lack luster and not much effort was put into it in my opinion. It need more detail like civ 5. 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.

    Overall the changes that this game brings is better but hopefully with some patches it can be way better.

    Issues so far are mostly concerning some performance optimizations needed, ui scaling does not look crisp and sharp on 4k (1440p without ui scaling s the sweet spot), the map can be quite cluttered and hard to read and orient and the minimap is almost only useful to find where my cities are, not so much as an overview.

    What I don´t like is the comic graphic style...and the game is missing some parameters to in setting up a game. The number of city states cannot be modified, the landmass distribution ect. But I think there is space to improve for playing around with rulesets...I think the game really deserves more parameters. If you´re looking for a better sandbox game, go with endless legend.

    Negative:

    - 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

    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.

    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.

    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]
