I tried to dabble with Civ 3 decades ago but I didn't get the hang of it. Civ 6 on the Switch though is PERFECT. I like the balance and mechanics and I simply cannot put it down. Being on a handheld it's easy to pick up and play again where I left off even during short breaks. The rest of the time in between though all I think about is my city. If you're having second thoughts let this review be the one to sway you into getting it.… Expand

   Perfect port to Nintendo Switch. Playing it handheld where you want gives the game the perfect receipt to replayability.

   + Runs better than on my Laptop
   + Most DLC's to date included
   + Arguably more user-friendly than PC version, which now spews ads at its users

   Very surprised it is NOT some watered down, kiddy crap like they did on PS3. It’s an actual Civilization game on a console. I’m enjoying itVery surprised it is NOT some watered down, kiddy crap like they did on PS3. It’s an actual Civilization game on a console. I’m enjoying it very much, and have little to complain about.
   I have had the game crash on me a couple times though, which means something isn’t quite right, but it’s not happening a lot. It auto saves every 3 turns anyway so the damage was minimal.
   Civ IV is still my favourite; V was a game I just wasn’t feeling as much, and VI is somewhere above V, but slightly below IV in my opinion overall.
   I only play single player, so my score is based on that. If you’re buying this for multiplayer, I wouldn’t recommend it based on what other people are saying here.
   This one is hard to put down. I’ve gone into work like a bag of dogs**t all week from staying up too late with this one. It’s a total time warp situation, the hours just fly by. Single player is a total blast, so if that’s what you’re after and you know what kind of game this is, them go for it.… Expand

   Very fun strategy game, however it is very expensive to get all of the content.

   While I really wanted to like this game as a fan of history and archaeology, it's honestly horrible. Where I imagined a funWhile I really wanted to like this game as a fan of history and archaeology, it's honestly horrible. Where I imagined a fun city/civilization-building sandbox game, its a boring strategy-based "casino" game where everything is based on luck. City building is so simple (Kindergartener level) that its mindnumpingly boring (being relegated to clicking a production option, placing a tile, and then wasting your life waiting), yet the game still somehow manages to have a ton of ridiculously convoluted mechanics at the same time. Science, culture, faith, domination, and victory are basically totally separate boring minigames that overlap very little with each other and the game forces you to play exactly how it wants you to play with little freedom for deviation, otherwise you have zero chance of any victory even on prince difficulty. AI is incredibly unbalanced being either too aggressive and overpowered or completely incompetent. Did you build more wonders that Qin Shi Huang or have a different system of government than Victoria? Better start pumping out those units to defend yourself or get completley F-ed. Worst feature in this title by far is the completely wack pacing of the game. Late game is so agonizingly slow (taking literally hundreds of turns to get through the 21st century) that finishing a game feels more like a punishing chore than a rewarding experience. Rising Fall and Gathering Storm only make the base game ever worse with cool concepts (ie. climate change, future tech) that are completely botched and wasted and only punish the player with shallow stupid mechanics like unpreventable coastal city flooding. This all isn't even mentioning the tons of crashes on the Switch that make the game borderline unplayable. Overall, this feels less like an actual game and more like an unfinished demo.… Expand

   Gathering Storm:The Dealing System is so so flawed - it becomes a game stopper imho
   
   After a year of waiting for the price to drop, I bitGathering Storm:The Dealing System is so so flawed - it becomes a game stopper imho
   
   After a year of waiting for the price to drop, I bit the bullet and bought GS. I enjoyed the challenge of maintaining loyalty and governing cities.
   
   On my first game, though, I started to notice some irritants that made dealing very boring.
   
   I might be wanting to sell say a unit of oil, for example, and get offered (say)180 pieces of gold.
   The AI nation might have enough to buy more than 50 units of oil BUT when I try to sell them two or more units, they refuse to pay more or very little more.
   BUT, in the same turn, they will buy all 50 units, one at a time.
   This does not mirror real life. Buying in bulk should lead to a discount I agree but selling/buying units one at a time: I find boring.
   
   AND it gets worse.....
   
   I'm lateish on in the game. I 'm now finding that AI nations will pay say 200+ for one unit of coal - fair enough BUT they will also pay 330/turn for 30 turns too.
   I've just been able to sell Pericles (for example) one unit of Uranium.
   In exchange, I've received the Truffles luxury, 367 pieces of gold for 30 turns, 3 units of aluminium, 6 units of coal and 5 units of.... URANIUM!
   
   I can get the same type of deal with all the other nations who consider me as friend.....
   
   I did this a few times and then realised I could bleed all these dry of their money and resources whilst my coffers are filling up at over 4000 pieces of gold a turn; my whole nation id ecstatic because I've cornered all the luxuries, my strategic resource stocks are full to the limit,,, and so on.
   
   It's no longer a game and so I have stopped playing.… Expand
