Civilization VI

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.

Great game for the boys whose love politic and war games

I was at war for the majority of the game, in one city that the AI couldn't manage to take. It was a war that I could largely ignore as I went about the rest of the game, and that is just not fun. When you keep it going just to see if the PC can think a way to take it... it doesn't make for a fun game.

IV was my favorite and V I absolutely hated... and then came VI...

... there are points of this that I like and would want to keep in future installments. And then there is, well...

... once more it is like you are using a God Mod when you go to war, the AI still isn't there as far as strategy and you still need the ability to stack for it to be a threat.

But, like V, if you are playing with friends... the wars aren't as bad and the new way is actually a lot of fun... but civ isn't exactly a game made for group play, it's more of an alone time killer.

And it doesn't punish as much economically for having an empire, but it still discourages watching your armies sweep across the glob a little too much.

But the killer is still stacking units for me. I don't want to play a game where I can fight a war without having the outcome matter. I want to be able to lose... and you really can't with an AI that can't think well enough to keep the artillery in the rear. When you let the computer stack, you have more fun because the computer is more of a threat.

The AI isn't a strategic threat, and it still punishes the parts of the game that make it fun and replaces them with victories that aren't as satisfying to win.

IDK, I am hoping in the next installment, they will change things back to a stack, or make the AI smart enough to use the new war mechanics effectively.

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.

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.
