    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.

    This game is fun to play with and without friends. I love the art style of this game and the music is fantastic. AI is average at best, diplomatic relations with them are just random.

    I spent way too much time on this game, but that time was worth it. The AIs are.. ok at best, but as long as you play with friends, you'll be all right.

    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.

    An enjoyable turn based strategy game. This game lacks depth, and plays like a board game.

    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.

    It has good combat and the DLCs are good and make an even better experience.

    Great game! Beautiful, music is stunning, gameplay is rich and complex in a satisfying way, with lots of variety. Great value DLC.

    So daunting. So big. Tutorial barely gives basics, so jump into a real game! But.. A real game takes hours and hours and hours. If you don't know what you're doing, you're gonna struggle.

    You simply cannot beat Civilization. Perhaps the greatest strategy series of all time continues its winning streak with Civ 6, with fun new features like districts that add a host of complexities to your gameplay.

    Ну ребят, это ж Цива, в любом случае. От части к части Цивой и остается, не смотря на периодические нововведения и прибамбасы. Шестая часть в серии не исключение, радует глаз.

    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

    This game is the way they destruct a great series. 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. In Civ 6 u don't have this. Game pace is boring, slow, and A.I. is broken, unexistent.

    I don't understand why theres so many bad reviews?
    This game is the best strategy game for people to start with, seeing your civlization grow with those graphics and nice modern mechanics, along with the many roads you can take to victory, make this a stellar experience.
    AI is quite dumb but idk,it never bothered me

    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.
