Sid Meier's Civilization VI Reviews
Civilization 6 is definitely the best version of the series to date that has been able to retain all the positive features and core of the gameplay of earlier versions, and by making some minor changes in it, it offers a very enjoyable and fun yet deep and strategic experience that is enjoyable for all fans of this series and strategic games.

Making a concise judgment to Civilization Vi is not easy. We could tell you that it's damn beautiful, but it would be an understatement. We could then tell you that it is damn wonderful, but it would not be the same correct. The only way to understand what it is and what it feels like venturing into the world created by Sid Meier is only one: to install and play it.

Sid Meier's Civilization VI does not have direct competition that can guide you through human history in a more entertaining way, as the new Civilization does, and can only be compared to its predecessors.

Despite some not particularly nice to accept, marketing decisions of the publisher and minor restrictions, which due to the platform could not be avoided again I got caught up in the fun of Civilization VI. After all, there is always another unit to create, a new factory to build, another government policy to change, one more war to lead and resources to manage.

Improving on it's predecessors, Civilization VI stands on the shoulders of giants to reach even beyond. With more freedom, personalization, complexity and meaningful choices than ever, the game is every inch as addicting as ever, even to the veteran, who will toil with the improved difficulty, new victory conditions and mechanics. A masterpiece.

Civilization VI is most definitely the best base-game installment of the franchise yet. There are so many gameplay mechanics included here that it feels like it’s already had a large expansion. I can’t wait to see what Firaxis could possibly add to improve on an already spectacular and complete game. But as much as I hate to say it, with so much to learn this is one of the least accessible games in the series for newcomers. Still, with beautiful visuals,step-up in AI competence, and so much to do, for returning players this is the best Civilization game in history.
If you enjoyed Civilization V, then VI is right up your alley. If anything I've mentioned puts you off, then wait for some of the expansions to beef up the game.
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is one of the best turn-based strategy games in recent years. Its new district system is very good. You really need a good strategy to improve in game and mistakes are not easily forgiven especially in high difficulty levels. It’s AI is better in some manners but it yet has problems in diplomacy. However, if you’re a fan of turn-based games, you must buy Civilization VI.

Civilization VI offers a variety of changes that significantly alter the way this long-running strategy franchise plays, but some notable issues - chief among them is the poor AI - prevent it from reaching greatness.
I found some problems with 'Civilization VI' but not enough to keep me from enjoying it for quite a few hours. Firaxis has improved some systems and stumbled on others, including things that should be in good shape by now, like diplomacy. I have a feeling that a year from now it will be a much better, bigger game, (not to mention cheaper) as is tradition with this series. I just wish that the inevitable DLC felt more like expansions and less like content filling in the gaps from the day one release.
All in all, Civilization VI is a solid, fun and enjoyable 4x game. Its basic mechanics are simple enough that players of almost any age can learn to play, but the gameplay is complex enough that multiplayer games can be brutal challenges that force players to the limits of their tactical ability. It has its share of flaws but nothing does more than slightly detract from the game. Whether you're playing for a few minutes before work or glancing up to realize that it's 4 AM, Civilization VI is exactly the kind of game that gets its hooks deep into you and never lets go.
The thing about Civilization VI is that there is so much content, that a traditional review struggles to do it justice. The number of units on show, the diversity in buildings, the research tree, the choice over governmental direction and the bonus this gives; it is honestly a title that is best experienced first hand and delved into in the deepest possible way. It is definitely the most fulfilling and enjoyable Civilization to date, and with Firaxis tendency to add expansions and updates to their products, it can only get better from this point onward. Some irritating issues do exist, such as religion and some slight AI deficiencies, but these are minor complaints in a title that is so easy to get addicted to that it is scary. The strategy crown remains with Sid Meier, and it is hard to see any challengers conquering his empire in the near future.
Civilization VI carries forward almost all of the mechanics from V: spies, trading routes, religion, ideologies, the hexagonal map, and so on. As a result, the game is just as strong as its previous incarnation, while nevertheless finding ways to expand upon this experience.
Overall, Civilization VI is a masterpiece, providing a depth of play and choices never seen, and doing it in such a graceful manner.
At its worst, Civilization VI is a game with a handful of bugs and a somewhat lacking AI that is wrapped up in a somewhat cartoon-like package. At its best however, Civilization VI is an engrossing 4X strategy game that has more depth and features than ever before.
Whether you’re a veteran of the genre or have never played a 4X game in your life, this game will give you a truly unique, fun and exciting experience that you won’t want to put down. Even if you’re not sure if you’d enjoy a 4X game, let me be the missionary to convert you to the amazing world of Sid Meier’s: Civilization VI.
Civilization 6 is great thanks to the many rulers, it's addicting gameplay and because of how well it works on Switch. It's a shame the online multiplayer is missing. It shows it doesn't have everything the PC has, but the gameplay will keep you playing.

All in all, Civilization 6 remains a game that is true to the Civilization series. The change in style and the additions to the gameplay bring the franchise back up to date for 2016. For the seasoned Civilization player, the style and especially the importance of religion will take some getting used to, but in the end, it gives you just that little bit more challenge you're looking for.

Civilization VI has more to offer in its base game than its predecessor did. That's not to say it matches Civ V when you take its expansions into account. Gods and Kings and Brave New World are what made Civ V the game it currently is; without them, it was still enjoyable, but it felt incomplete. Civilization VI has the same feeling. You know there's more to come, which makes it difficult to criticise it for not being as good as what's come before.
