Civilization

Sid Meier’s Civilization has consistently been one of the best turn-based strategy games on the PC market, with each of its predecessors giving players a slight twist on their already solid gameplay. With that in mind, I’m going to focus the gameplay portion more on Civilization as a franchise rather than the specifics of Civ 6 – for a more in-depth review of differences between 6 and the previous installments I’d look elsewhere.
–Verdict–
Art: I’ll be honest – I prefer the attention to detail provided by Civ V more than I do the bright and vibrant Civ VI. Everything feels more cartoonish: and for me, that’s not a good thing when I’m focused on heavy strategy.
Gameplay: Civ allows you to take the gauntlet as some of the world’s greatest leaders, strategizing on how to conquer the world either by force or by cunning via a turn-based system that will literally take you days to complete. This game is rich with content, and every time I feel like I have the handle on things the game throws a new twist into play forcing me to adapt to benefit the whole of my empire.
Replayability: Extremely high. Each map can be as random or as exact as you want, and the AIs always do the darndest things (for better or for worse). Every game has felt fresh and new to me, aided by the game’s extensive content. It’s additive, too: the “I just need one more turn” mentality has cost me actual hours of my life (that I don’t regret) continuing to play the game.
Would I recommend? Definitely – but with a caveat. If you’re the type of person that enjoys playing very (emphasis on VERY) long board games into the wee hours of the nights – think Risk, Monopoly, SoC – then this game is 100% for you. If you’re someone that wants a quick, speedy action game, then stay as far away from this one as possible – you need patience to get your empire grooving the way you want. Civilization really depends on your play style. Who knows, it might be your dream come true.
