Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI

one night I was thinking to do one game before sleep on standard speed with emperor difficulty, after some times of playing then I check the clock was showing at 4. When I decided to stop and go to sleep, the next thing I know is its not 4 am in the morning.

Fun but.... I don't want to look up TOO MANY tips online, but I think this game is tough on the easiest setting. I still play, but I'm just goobin' around, herpin' and derpin'. Fun game.

I realized i never gave it a review but i have over 1,200 hours in this amazing game. im sure civ 7 is gonna grow into somthing great but this game is still amazing and 100% worth the play.

Впервые играю в циву и немного прихуел, что я могу восстановить отношения с цивилизацией посредством нападения на неё и подписания мирного договора по её инициативе

Civilization VI is a fun game, with enjoyable game play, an art style that has a lot of charm, and a good level of challenge. I've played every Civ game, right from the first one that came out. However, I can not recommend purchasing or installing games from this company. Their EULA is entirely unacceptable. Like a lot of game companies these days, they have instituted draconian policies putting the people who purchase and play their games in an untenable position of having no real rights or recourse while having to accept the root kitting and data harvesting of their computers. It's not about better service, it's about greed and control. I'm disappointed that Firaxis went this way. Up until now, I always felt I got fair value for my money with a Civ game. I won't be purchasing Civ VII or any other game from them or 2K until these policies are changed permanently.

It's the best Civ. One of the biggest things they improved on relative to Civ V was that you no longer have to restart the game if your first city wasn't built on the coast and on a hill. I have zero complaints about this game, and only wish they kept adding leaders. But make sure to get all of the expansions and the critical mods like quick deals, extended policy cards, and map tacks.

After being forced to play this game for a good bit I have to say it's pretty bad. The basic strategy for it is to spam cities to a level that every one of your settlements are stealing tiles from another. Then you just build whatever district relates to your chosen win condition. The game even enforces this playstyle with the loyalty mechanics. If you aren't close to your other cities your cities will rebel, and if you don't have the means of stopping it that city is just gone, nothing you can do about it. Conquer it after the rebellion? It's rebelling again in six turns and will spawn two units to defend. Sorry, you should've settled two tiles from your capital.

The other thing enforcing this playstyle is that war is more of a slog compared to Civ 5, which is an absolute travesty. Civ 5 wasn't a perfect game, but it was fun. War was a matter of keeping up in tech/production and your city placement. Once A bombs come around things can get a little hairy, but as I said Civ 5 is not a perfect game. This game wants you to learn adjacency bonuses for the extremely important districts and also the ins and outs of the superfluous amount of new units. Civ 6 is like if mario party tried to add more mechanics to increase its complexity. That's just not what civilization is about. You could get your friend who only plays Call of Duty on Civ 5 and they'd intuit enough to be relevant. Civ 6 expects you to take the time to learn its tedious mechanics to succeed.

It's not as if I don't like more intense strategy games, I'm a big fan of grand strategy games in fact. Civilization will never be and should never be that though.

i find this game very relaxing. I usually plays only 30 min to an hour. so one gate often take a week or more. I like that i can set the dificulty level from relaxing (I win) to difficult enough that i lose. i save the start and some times play the same game over but i have to 'win' using one of the other ways than i won last time. like chess, you have to plan your plans and 'attack' ahead, some time 100 years. I started with the first civ game. the graphics is very good, but i usually turn the music down. I don't think i will be moving to civ 7 as i understand they have the game divided into 3 different plays. i like the 'long game' where you have to plan for the future if you want to be successful

I got tired of earlier versions of CIV. Maybe once I play this for thousands of hours it will also be less interesting, but for now it is more complex and variable.

Endless variations mean hundreds or even thousands of hours of game play. One of the best values I've ever had for my entertainment dollar

Sadly, it won't open. The game was working, and now. Apparently this won't let me post that error. but it won't launch now, so I've deleted the whole game, including the file that was leftover after you deleted it. Reset the computer, and I'm trying again. I have civilization 6 at all. the updates and I had a good civilization going. I enjoyed. this game. but somehow it's not allowing me to launch the game without errors. I run Windows 11 and it ran good. Like I said, but I have no idea I'm not a computer whiz And the one I have doesn't want to be bothered with helping me fix this Maybe y'all can give me some. kind of heads up. Thank you for your time.

The new mechanics are interesting, the art style and graphic are fine but what prevents me from recommending this game is that the AI is basically non existent. Other CIVs don't do nothing, they don't attack, don't defend, don't explore, don't settle in fertile lands, don't build most of wonders, absolutely nothing. It actually baffles me how many people like this game and recommend it. Basically you're playing alone and other CIVs are a punching bag.

I have played the sequel. I have re-played the prequel. This is the best Civilization.

An improvement on the previous game. A good diverse mix of leaders and abilities. An improvement to graphics and different game play elements. Civilization has really mastered the art of creating a new installment to a franchise that improves upon the previous but still holds that same charm as the originals. If you've like any previous civ game, you will enjoy this one too.

My very first CIV game. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The music absolutely slaps. Especially the Zulu "among us" song

Civilization VI – A game to learn about commitment, because one match can last for hours. XD

As a passionate fan of Civilization V, I will compare the game with the previous part. I think, generally, the new game did become a breath of fresh air for me. I like the idea of building separate districts instead of building everything in city center in Civ V. The visual and graphic became far more beautiful and modern. Number of mechanics in the game increased. Most of neutral changes (one for another) like happiness calculation principle are okay.

But I really didn't like how relationships with other leaders changed. In my humble opinion, developers just broke relationships and diplomacy and everything related to this. I hate the world congress mechanic in Civ VI where decisions reset themselves automatically instead of manual cancellation by a new decision of empires; also the available options became worse themselves. Reasons for friendship, wars, increasing and decreasing relationships became absolutely stupid. You can have an alliance and may not help your ally in their war, and it's okay for the ally, they don't get affended. That's why I always turn off diplomatic victory in my every game. I was especially shocked by the opportunity of the world congress to get some nuclear weapon to all empires (even if they are in the stone age) as well as remove everyone's weapon without any problems. Also, scenes with leaders became more static, it's also not so good.

To sum it up, I rather recommend the game. It has much more good than bad in my opinion to move from Civ V to Civ VI.

Its a good game, the research is quite good, the civilizations are so cool, and i really like playing Russia, France or England (:

User interface to small. Refuses to respond in options menu no matter what. Dont purchase this unless you can modify game files because I could not find the file that customer support said to delete. Wasted a whole day trying to fix this. My favourite console game and so far most hated PC game

Still the best version of the series... CIV VII needs quite a radical overhaul to top this.

Not my favourite of the Civilization series, but enjoyable all the same. Sean Bean's voice acting is fun, the graphics are gorgeous, and I find the strategy view tiles very convenient in warfare.

The purest of all strategy games. It's easy to play for younger people, as the surface of it's strategy is pretty simple, but it's also fun for older players who think deeper into it, though in my opinion, the whole game is better with the DLC 'Gathering Storm' and 'Leader Pass'

Yeah, no. After a few years I gave this game another chance, and still no. Civ V is better. Here's why.

First, some pros. Civ VI is prettier, and has better music. It also has more advanced mechanics of every sort, which makes the game more engaging.

But gameplay wise, it's a mess. Every playthrough is the same. Theoretically there are different bonuses for every leader, and different victory types, but it doesn't matter. There is only one recipe for victory, expand.

Build as many cities as possible, and conquer as many as possible. Playing tall or diplomatic isn't an option, there is no downside to having more and more and more of everything.


You want domination victory, obviously do the above, duh.

You want science victory? You want to have as many cities as possible to make as many science districts as possible and generate as much science as you can to get to the tech as quickly as possible. You also want to build as much industry as possible, to build settlers, workers, soldiers, wonders everything. And you want to produce as much culture as possible, to get civics.

You want culture victory? You want to have as many cities as possible to make as many theater districts as possible and generate as much tourism as you can and get as many slots for great works as possible. You also want to build as much industry as possible, to build settlers, workers, soldiers, wonders everything. And you want to produce as much science as possible, to get tech.

You want religious victory? Guess what, they can't convert your cities if you conquered them. And you want to have more cities, industry, everything to produce more faith for missionaries, apostoles, inquisitors....also depending on your faith, you can buy all kinda buildings with faith too. The faith costs for anything you can buy with faith only increase with the amount of missionaries/whatever you bought for it, not with the number of your cities. It goes for other types of mana too. The building costs never increase, 400 faith costs for a building may seem a lot if you have 2-3 cities, it's nothing when you have 20.

You want diplomatic victory? Guess what. But noo, you say, diplomatic victory is about being liked by everyone...bullshit. Diplomatic victory is about getting diplomatic victory points, at least half of which you get by researching techs and building wonders (so you want science, culture, industry...) and the other half you get by winning UN resolutions. By winning I mean, you propose something, and if it wins, you get one diplomatic victory point. If you propose several things, and they all win, you win several points.
So if you are hated by everyone, just propose resolutions that harm you and they will all vote for them. You are the first civ with coal, just propose to ban coal power plants, BAM victory point. You produce the most great admiral points, just propose to ban great admirals, BAM a point. Rinse and repeat. You need 20 to win the game. I won diplomatic victory while being at war with everyone, it was ridiculous, the ending slideshow talked something about peace it sounded ironic af.

Great people costs don't increase with number of your cities, either. The costs are the same for every civ, there is one great people pool that civs are dumping points into, competing with each other who will get the great person first. So, the more cities you have, the more great person points you will generate, the more great people you will get and your competitors get none. Since great people often give permanent empire wide bonuses until the end of the game, this mean you will snowball hard once you start snowballing.

I don't really know what it is, but this game bores me right from the start. It's less engaging than Civ V. I just don't really enjoy the aesthetic and the districts. It just feels super watered-down after coming from Civ V. Even with all the expansions and DLC this game fails to live up to it's predecessors.

Really enjoyable, like a more in-depth Age of Empires game. My girlfriend introduced me to it and I gave it a go as a "but what if YOU DO enjoy it?"

Yeah anyway right so I enjoyed it and it's one of my favourite games

It has some great innovations over Civ 5...planetary management to address Climate Change, dividing cities into various types of zones, museums full of artifacts. I don't like how builders can make only three improvements and that the 20th-century infantry wear German helmets. The maps are great, and named rivers even better. I play it at peaceful levels...I like empire-building, not competition. I have yet to check out mods.

**DO NOT BUY**

The latest update completely broke this game on MAC OS. Can't complete more than a few turns without a total crash and there has been no solution offered by anyone at Aspyr. I have sent them multiple crash reports and there's no fix coming. I have read reports about this being related to Hyper-Threading but that's about all the info I can find.

Until they get it patched, I can't recommend this game less. It doesn't run.

This game is incredibly addictive before you know it, 10 hours will have flown by. If you're a fan of 4X games, I highly recommend giving it a try!

I think it's fun and I have a few hundred hours of "just one more turn" in the future. Def recommend, you will probably get addicted to it.

Super good. The best strategy game in the world of the universe in the galaxies. ALSO PLAY BRAWL STARS NOW OR DIE (FREE DIABETES)

This is one of those games where you say to yourself "Just one more turn" and it ends up being 4am. It can be overwhelming at first if you are new to this type of game but once you have an understanding of the mechanics it becomes incredibly addictive.

10/10 would nuke my allies again bc they sent a rockband into my empire

Civilization VI is a turn-based strategy game where you build and expand your empire through diplomacy, warfare, and culture. While the game isn’t bad, I personally didn’t enjoy it much. Matches take a long time to finish, and the learning curve at the beginning can be frustrating. I prefer more classic strategy games over this style of play. That said, I understand why people like it, and I did have fun in some of the matches I played. 6/10.

Base game is pretty solid, but big earth, more leaders, expanded tech/civic mods make it so much better if you enjoy a more timeline realistic experience

Civ 6 is a great update to the already classic Civilization game system. New resources, new technologies, new terrain, and new fun to be had!

As Civilization VII turned out a half-finished mess, with effectively all the changes and new features there being ones I hate, I thought I might as well give a review to this one. After all, this is the one I'll be playing for the next 6-8 years when the Civilization feeling grabs me.
This is the best the Civilization series has to offer. Try it and have a great time! Maybe install an AI enhancing mod once you get better at the game, as the basic AI tends to not build military units for some reason.

Likes: Ability to customize a game, multitude of options and available changes to your game involving weather/faith/zombies(?!)/and etc.

Dislikes: A little tricky with UI and Civ Cards, plus playing with Religion as a possible win/lose can make a normal game go sideways.

All in all a good game that has adapted and changed over the years into something with a lot for everyone.

I dont even remember buying this game. Like im actually confused on how i have this game and dont remember receiving it for free.But still played the hell out of it. its def a great game for people who like strategy games 100 recommend

This game is not a game that uses an evolutionary controller that has gyro censors or virtual reality.

Interactive input technology is not everything. However, as a personal computer game, it still uses a lot of energy power and data space from disk drives.

Maybe playing this strategy game using a stylus pen that has palm rejection features will take this game to the next level?

What makes this game worth playing is its high critic rating.

Excellent Civ game. Maybe the most complex game in the series if you want to play this to the utmost potential. I don't have Vietnam/Khan pack and haven't played Gathering Storm but I do own it and look forward to. Will update my review. This game has big differences from the previous Civs in the graphics/Style. I personally didn't care for it at but its grown on me. I don't remember Civ5 maybe because i didn't like it but loved 4. This game has everything I want in a "One more turn its 2am Please Lord I need sleep" experience.

The combat is still my least favorite as its one hex per unit, i like the unit variation better but its not a huge + overall. The game has emphasized expansion like crazy, I liked building Tall(less cities but more developed) but that strategy/playstyle doesn't work as well, Wonders which were my 2nd favorite thing about Civ games are definitely not as vital/important, just build more cities and the new districts system. Placement of buildings is a huge part of your game choices now, build it in spot X for + bonus vs Spot Y for 0 bonuses. Diplomacy seems better, Science still fun part as is Religion which is a favorite way to play, Culture ties the whole whole convert the world theme together. Tons of different Civs to choose from so lots of replaybility.

With Civ 7 out Civ 6 is very affordable, i bought it for a fraction of what its worth on sale which is good because there is TONS of DLC content. Do yourself a favor and buy this during the fall and play till spring time. Its like winter didn't even happen.

Absolutely dirty, money hungry company. Will lock you out of their game if you don't submit to their privacy policy after the fact and will continue to produce slop sequels to cash in on its fan-base.

RIP

Very fun game, especially with friends. A steep-ish learning curve, but one that is very satisfying.

This is a fine Civ game. Everyone knows they are still riding the reputation they got from Civ 5, which is the best Civ game ever. I would recommend that you forget these recreations and just play 5.

Builders only get 3 "build charges" in 6. You can automate builders to improve your kingdom forever in 5. done.

Very fun if you like slow paced historically themed games, incredibly fun to play.

I hate this game

You read that right, I dislike this game. It has taken my time, soul, and mental well being; threw it into the trash compactor; gives you a pat on the head then proceeds to chokeslam you into submission.

The skill wall is immense for the average layman. There are a lot of secret details to think about as you go into each game. There's a bajillion different characters and a bajillion amount of data you need to keep up with if you want to keep yourself alive through the ages.

And oh I mean the word "ages" literally. If i were to start off as an infant playing this game, I'd be long 6ft under by the time you even get to finishing a game. Simply put, it's an oven set to slow burn. You not only pay $60 but you also pay with your time and soul if you play this game; and that's if assuming you bought at marketprice.

And that's just the vanilla version! The version that the least amount of people play in as apparently the game must be played with the DLCs to get a full experience out of it! You want to learn Civ via internet videos, well most dont care about vanilla civ. You came to play the game as you want to play as your country? Too bad, they're behind a huge paywall. Wanna play what was advertised as a game for the people? Well tough luck getting people trying to play this game with you!

And oh! That's not to mention multiplayer! You want to play with other people as a beginner and try to get the real experience of playing with others? Well tough luck as by the 10th turn the game's likely over and your going to play a game for 3 hours-or-more playing catch up. There is no skill based matchmaking, you just pick your options, start a match and hope people want to play with basic boring vanilla settings with a dude who is mid to absolute garbage at the game.

There's a lot of things I can say about this game. But having said all of that, I do have fun playing this game

It challenges you as a person to see how much you can put up overtime throughout the ages. It grants you the fun of THINKING and it provides you with rich historical lessons, quotes, and references. It provides you a method of developing skills, sharpening your mental capacities and teaching you strategy and logistics. It cultivates your patience as an individual, testing you as you test others as well. And most of all, it gives you the opportunity to say "I Am Here!" as should you play this game you come to terms of the reality that time is valuable and should be spent well, ironic as it is.

There's a lot of things agreeable and disagreeable to what I have written and I have come to terms with these. The Civ experience is different to many people. Whether playing solo or with your friends, whether you're having a good or bad time with this game, just remember to have fun.

And so for your consideration: Sid Meier's Civilization 6

the loyalty system and limited use builders ruins the game for me as a long time civ 5 fan.

i do like the district system and differences in how building units that require resources comes out of stockpile that recharges faster with more mines you have on it.

i also like the better barbarians and improved AI on dealing with other nations and the ablity to make apostle's fight each other over religion and not start a war. all good thing. i even like the natural disaster system.

but the workers are worse but i could deal with them, its mainly the loyalty system that broke me on the game. I also think the trading is worse, the spy system sucks. i also think the global warming mechanic is a really dumb edition as it does nothing other then be annoying late game.

I have enjoyed this product from the early 90's! I'm 55 now, so I have played literal thousands of hours worth over time, over decades, lol. Always reminds me of playing an advanced version of chess. "A franchise, a personal fav for decades. Thank you to all involved in the games creation. Albeit being a lifetime fan, I am still learning more about the depth of this game, and actual new ways to play, session after session.

Thank you for one of the best brain exercises ever, lol

fun civ game, a bit too complicated for me personally, but most people love it. Lots more leaders and unrepresented nations than ever before in the series, which is a huge plus.

Such a fun experience! I have played for a little less than 200 hours but it's been one of my all time favorite games that I keep coming back to and try out something new. It has so many different ways to play and I always recommend it to anyone. It scratches the itch of playing another turn and then end up playing for the entire day. It runs smoothly and fits in with other civ games.

An excellent game. Game mechanic well described, everything has tooltips and its logic. You can clearly see everything, UI design is excellent. I like it a lot and spent plenty of time playing this game.

it's the 2nd best civ game, behind civ 4. The artstyle is fine and people who complain about it need to touch grass
