Civilization VI

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.

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'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.

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.

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.
