Civilization VI

Great game for the boys whose love politic and war games

I'm pretty sure I hate this game. I'm pretty sure I deleted it already and swore to never mention it every again. But I'm still playing it. Why am I still playing it??! I'm starting to neglect bodily functions, relationships, language, my identity. Is this game any good? Please don't ask me as I do not have a sentient self who can respond to that question.

This is my second Civilization game.

Unlike the fifth episode, the leader's computer graphics have changed a lot. I don't like it because it seems far from the civilization game. Also, leaders of some civilizations do not seem appropriate. For example, while it is true that the Korean leader, Queen Seondeok, is a remarkable figure in Korean history, there are many more excellent figures in Korean history than she is. And one of France's leaders, Catherine de' Medici, was Italian and a political opponent of French master Henry IV, so I wondered whether it was appropriate.

But the fact that the game is fun hasn't changed. The fun of pioneering and developing civilization has not changed. Also, the OST was great. A minor bug was not visible when I played. Addictiveness is a game comparable to drugs. Except for the disappointing points written above, it is a very high-quality game.

This game has such an incredible amount of depth that I get sucked into it for hours at a time. Highly recommended for people who like that kind of stuff, but I understand that it's not for everyone.

When it comes to making a strategic game with extremely many different tactics you can choose to win, civilisation has nailed it. I personally love this game, and have already well over 500 hours in it. Some minor flaws pull me back from the 10 starts, but still is a great game.

I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in strategy games that are not purely based on warfare, and that point is especially where CIV 6 wins. I enjoy building my empires, often peacefully, whereas with most other strategy games war is the core gameplay mechanic.

Although the game might seem daunting, and huge at first glance, one quickly understands how it functions on a basic level, and then it becomes easier to enjoy the game even more.
