Civilization VI

Great game for the boys whose love politic and war games

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.

The animation is cartoonish and lame, the a.i. is the worst in any civ game by far, the map is confusing with three color schemes but two of the colors (in fog and unrevealed) are almost the same so it's very hard to tell the difference, it is way too easy to win, the districts idea is good in principle but plays pretty poorly in execution... maybe it is because we only have the basic game with no add-ons or dlc's, but that's the other problem. this entire game is all geared toward making us buy the dlc's to make the game actually good. i won't ever be buying another civ game in advance, only after reviews and packs come out, and we feel ripped off by this. going back to civ 5. much better game and way more fun.

I have really enjoyed this game! I do, however, thinks it takes a bit of time and experimentation to truly find your own personal and enjoyable play experience. For instance, I really enjoy everything being randomized on a large map with a slightly faster play speed, but others may hate that style - find what you enjoy.

I highly recommend this game for people who enjoy strategic and long-lasting board games. So far, I have won using Brazil, Aztec, France, and Egypt.

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.
