Sid Meier's Civilization VI Reviews
Civilization VI is a testament that the turn-based strategy genre is very much alive, and is here for more eras to come. Despite some AI personality hiccups and a steep learning curve, you’ll be on the edge of your seat pleading, “Just one more turn!
Much like Civilization V, Civilization VI feels like one step foward and two steps backward. Some neat ideas get mixed in odd design decisions and unhelpful UI. Still a great entry point for those interested in 4X, just make sure to have a bit of patience with its erratic AI.

Civilization 6 präsentiert sich nach dem doch etwas schwächeren Beyond Earth wieder als solider Ableger der Serie und überzeugt mit einigen netten Gameplay Neuerungen und der gewohnten „Just one more turn“ Sucht. Die furchtbare KI bleibt die größte und bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten, auch einzige Schwäche von Civilization 6. Sowohl Neueinsteiger als auch Veteranen werden hier auf jeden Fall ihren Spaß haben.

The strategy genre keeps making leaps and bounds, while maintaining its roots and core base. Civilization VI is no exception.
Civilization VI is a refreshing reminder video game franchises as classic as Sid Meier’s classic turn-based strategy series can keep evolving in complexity while still remaining accessible for players, both returning and new.
The Civilization-series has always been a game near to perfection within its own universe and over the past years, every new game made just some slight but useful changes to please the fans and give every round a new, exciting twist. So, it's not a big surprise, that almost nothing changed this year - but the features that have changed almost make it a completely new game. Despite the new, amazing visuals there's this new thing called "districts" and after being uncertain in the beginning, I now can't image how I could ever play a Civilization without this feature. Of course, the new (and old) leaders and nations still are amazing and everytime, I wanted to quit the game, I took "just another, last round". I don't need to tell you, this never worked, right?

While a flawed entry, it does have some bright moments. Districts are a great addition and the government system has been overhauled. However, there’s a lot missing and it’s a bit slow.
Civilization VI is a worthwhile addition to the series. It takes the familiar Civilization formula and builds on it to give more power to its players. Despite some interface issues, its a great game that you will lose hours and hours in.
The me from 1992 would have been blown away by Civilization VI. The amazing graphics and sound, and how cool the cities and farms and units all looked would have been jaw-dropping.
Sid Meier's Civilization 6 is the best Civilization game ever built, and its cute art style and deep game mechanics makes it so much more rewarding.
Civilization 6 is an incredible feat for Firaxis. Easily staking a claim for Game of the Year, this might just be the finest Civ yet
Despite some odd AI behaviour issues, Firaxis have delivered one of the most enjoyable entries in the Civilization series to date. Beautiful presentation and accessible new gameplay mechanics mean Civilization VI will have you going one more turn for months to come.
Civilization VI feels familiar enough that it’s comfortable to pick up and play for seasoned fans, yet fresh enough that it feels like there’s some new things to try out.
A really superb game, let down by silly little bugs. Massive scope, potential for an incredible amount of variety. It will keep me engaged for a long, long time to come.
Civilization VI is a worthy sequel for the franchise. Firaxis has crafted the best vanilla version in the franchise's history, with a host of leaders, a great soundtrack, some keen art direction, and new features like the city expansion. There's not much missing this time around and I look forward to seeing what Firaxis adds to an already amazing game.
