    I would rate this game a solid 8 if its price were set right.
    It’s undeniably a high quality port of a high quality game.
    But the fact is this is a 3 year old game. And it had previously been ported to the switch. So full retail price + $50 for the DLC is just too much. I tried it long enough to rate it without guilt. But I’ll definitely be waiting for a big sale before I buy my own copy,

    Intuitively designed and thrilling, Civilization makes a brilliant move over to console. [Issue#186, p.78]

    Civilisation VI is very much a marmite kind of game – you’ll either love it or hate it. While I am indeed a fan (of marmite and Civ), I did feel slightly let down by the laggy performance and seemingly slower pace than I remember. The wonderful aesthetics manage to make up for this to a degree though, and if you’re after something to sink some real time into the Civ VI will absolutely be your cup of tea.

    This is a game that you can pour hundreds of hours into, and still find rewarding gameplay and new strategies. Not to mention, it’s dangerously addictive. Clear your schedule for this one. Multi-hour gaming sessions have never gone by so fast.
