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 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.

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.

For now, it’s safe to say that Civilization VI represents a golden age for the series.
Approachable yet deep, this is one of the best in the franchise to date.
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 is therefore a very complete game, a classic that endures and yet manages to reinvent itself. Much better than its predecessor, both in substance and form.

Civilization VI brings the franchise to an unbelievable level of polish and streamlined complexity.
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.

Great start, complex strategies, new Leaders to discover, detailed diplomacy, beautiful graphics and a replayability factor that could never be fit into a score. Quality gaming has never felt better!
Civilization VI has reached the perfection inside the turn based strategy genre. Complex, addictive and with a very strong personality, Firaxis wants us to stay hundreds of hours in front of the PC.

In our preview, we mentioned we weren’t sure if Civlization VI feels like a new game, or merely DLC for Civlization V. After many hours with the game, it’s safe to say that it’s a separate entity, different yet the same. It’s one that franchise fans will enjoy, most definitely.
Civilization VI is what we wanted: a worthy heir to the most famous strategic series, which not only re-proposes all the strengths so appreciated by fans, but which manages to improve in many situations, thanks to fresh introductions, well integrated with each other, able to speed up the game but not to make it easier.

If you’re looking for the best turn-based strategy on the market, it’ll be tough to find something as exceptional as this.
Civilization is still one of the most addicted series in gaming, and the new installment offers some really interesting addition. The sometimes stupid AI is a bit of a letdown, though.

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.
What we’ve got here is a strategy game that, while preserving most of the series’ longtime fundamentals, has also found new and surprising ways—through an investment in player choice and more hands-on time with your people—to keep things interesting.
This is a captivating game, one that consumes your time and gives back more than you put in. It’ll test your ability to make sound decisions, and anticipate the future. While diplomacy and numbers tuning will be required to combat some of the frustration that the game brings, this is yet another outstanding 4X game from Firaxis Games that will undoubtedly become one of the most popular PC titles for the years to come.
If Civ VI doesn't count as a Great Work, I don't know what should. I'd display it in my Hermitage.
