Critic Reviews for Sid Meier's Civilization VII
Still a compelling sprint through human history, Civilization 7 sheds a little too much weight to match its excellent predecessors.
Civilization 7's improved warfare and added bits of narrative flair give me reasons to keep clicking one more turn late into the night, but the desire to streamline and simplify this legendary 4X series feels like it has also gone a bit too far, particularly when it comes to the interface.
Sid Meier's Civilization 7 takes the franchise's core formula, overhauls many of its features, and delivers another stellar strategy experience.
A competent entry with some poorly executed ideas and a striking lack of personality.
This game will devour your hours, chew up your days and spit you out in a hungry, sleep-deprived blob. I can’t wait to play its multiplayer mode after so long in a single-player that isn’t quite fully fleshed out yet.
I personally think the system does wonders for the usual tedium of late-stage campaigns – while other features, like pairing Leaders with evolving civs, should be a staple going forward. Civilization 7 already feels like the best entry point yet, and with Firaxis' habit of saving the real polish for expansions...
Sid Meier's Civilization VII remains as fun and engaging as ever, but too many drastic changes lead to glaring issues.
Civilization VII is just as habit-forming as its predecessors, and sports the same excellent core design alongside some outstanding new ideas. But these struggle to make themselves known among clunky changes that simplify its trademark complex gameplay for the worse.
