It's Civilization VI on Nintendo Switch, virtually spotless and capable of running even better than it usually does on certain unhinged laptops. Of course, she sucks the battery like a vampire, and in the most complex games she can trudge like an old woman uphill, but having it in her pocket is an emotion that is renewed with every turn.

It's Civilzation on Nintendo Switch in all its glory. It's full featured, plays great with the Switch control schemes and is addictive as ever.

The Switch edition of Civilization VI brings the full (base) Civ experience to a handheld. For this alone it's an essential purchase for strategy players, but the interface and presentation make this one of the best games on the console on its own merits.

A brilliant port and a brilliant game. There aren't any real issues with the game whatsoever and nothing that would put you off purchasing it. If you are a fan of the series or even interested in the Civilization series, it is a must buy!

Sid Meier's Civilization VI is a fantastic addition to the Nintendo Switch library. It brings one of the best games on PC to Nintendo's handheld with little compromise. Sure there's no online multiplayer and the Rise and Fall expansion is missing, but everything else about the core game is present and correct, especially in that it's as addictive as ever, in fact probably even more so.

Although it doesn’t include all the PC game’s extra content, Civ VI comes to the PS4 and Xbox with both the Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm expansions and the latter in particular is a literal game changer. I can certainly imagine using Civ VI as an engaging educational tool to consider the many competing forces around climate change.

Civilization VI is a great adaptation of the strategy classic for Nintendo Switch. Controls need some learning, but the game is deep and fun (and we love local multiplayer).

Civilization VI for PS4 and Xbox One is a clear example of how to adapt a strategy game from PC to consoles. Thanks to its interface and controls we don't miss playing with the keyboard and mouse.

A blend of touchscreen controls and physical buttons makes this one of the most convenient ways to play Civilization VI, and the portability makes it the best version to play on the go. Recommended to everyone who's looking to build a nation or take over the world.

‎The good work they have done with the game's controls is appreciated, one of the critical points in adapting to a controller a control as complex and with as many options as the one offered with a keyboard and mouse. Saved this point, we only have the part of enjoying a strategy game, complete, fun and highly addictive.‎

While Civilization VI on Nintendo Switch lacks online multiplayer, it's amazing to see how well it runs on the handheld console even with its limited technical abilities. With brilliantly adapted UI elements and controls for the Nintendo Switch, Civilization VI almost feel as native to the hybrid console as it is to the PC.

Epic journey through time with very well-meshed elements - a great round strategy game despite weak AI!

Civilization is finally back on consoles and boy is it still bloody fun to play. With plenty of new systems to get your head around, some fairly intuitive controls and the ability to wage war on your neighbours because they look at you funny, who can possibly say no to that?

Still, it’s clear to see that Civ 6 is going to be one of my most-played Switch games, because that’s just the kind of game it is. You can’t say no to one more turn, and I can already foresee many times where my feet fall asleep in the bathroom. TMI?

We've been waiting too long for civilization to return to consoles... But it works. Each turn sucks in, and a multitude of options allows you to enjoy alliances, research and, of course, wars. Play!
