Civilization VI

Sid Meier's Civilization VI is a truly immersive gaming experience. The game's beautiful graphics and stunning music contribute to an engaging atmosphere. The gameplay is rich and complex, offering a satisfying level of variety. One notable aspect is the extensive value provided by the DLC, enhancing the overall gaming experience. The charismatic world leaders featured add a unique touch to the Civilization series.

If I had to make it even less words, I would just say I'm loving this game. It's one of those titles where there is that magical feeling of enjoying every second and just not wanting to stop playing. If you still haven't played a Civ game, you should definitely try this one.

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 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.

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.

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.
