Sid Meier's Civilization VII

I would pass on it. Even after all their backtracking trying to make the game playable from is abysmal launch state, its still pretty awful. It is as if a third party phone developer tried to make a PC platform rip-off of Civ... I could go into extreme details about why this game is extremely subpar... but honestly, if you like CIV, just keep playing VI. This game will just make you angry, then force you back to VI anyways.

Even on sail this game is not worth it. Onley one way to reliably win (Culture), leading to a boring and repetitive game play loop. Massive loss in quality of life compared to Civ6. If this was on release I would say to wait a wile to get it, however at this point it seems clear the owning company has zero interest in producing a fun well maid game. Save your money for something else.

After a year later the game is finally in a fun and playable state, still without a lot of features from 6 people are asking for mind you, and you have the nerve to then charge 30 dollars for 2 leaders? I didn't know you could get high off of whiffing your own bro that's crazy.

I've played this game a lot now but it really does get pretty boring and repetitive - I liked CIV 6 way better

I purchased the whole package back at the start but after the latest update I can no longer play it because my PC is no longer powerful enough to run the game. So they have made changes so that the game I purchased I can no longer play. The reply I got is below but it is essentially "tough sh*t looser". "I know how it must feel to find that the game has been crashing after the latest update and is no longer playable on a system that previously ran it, and I appreciate you sharing the screenshot. Let's see what I can do to help. After taking a look at your PC's specifications from the screenshot, it appears that your setup doesn't meet the minimum requirements. For more information on the minimum and recommended specs for running Civilization VII on PC, check out this guide. I understand this isn’t ideal, and I appreciate you taking the time to reach out." I wont be buying any of their games in future.

Having played Civ games for years and years now, from way back in the day, I really wanted to love this version of the series. Alas, I can't even begin to like it. I played 34 hours and can say without a doubt, that IMO, this is the worst Civ of all. No matter what path I follow, the AI is always ahead of me on everything. I can not catch up in most cases, and even though I've been playing on Scribe, somehow, if I see the AI getting too far ahead, and have no choice but to start a war to slow their advance, they always have an endless supply of troops that magically appear out of nowhere to overrun my troops. Same goes for Independent states. I toggle the start to Friendly, but if I settle a town near them, they attack relentlessly with unlimited amounts of troops until my city is destroyed. No rhyme or reason to the hostility, just attacks. I also don't like that there's no way to set victory conditions. Like in Civ 6, for instance, you can uncheck all the victory conditions save say domination or science. Here you can't do that. So while you're busy trying for an economic victory, the AI just builds all science buildings and suddenly you lose. The array of weaponry is meager. Even if you make it to the modern age, I could not figure out how to use the planes I was building to attack a neighboring civ. Nor, as a last ditch attempt to keep from being overrun, using nukes to stop their never ending hordes. This version feels like they tried too hard to copy Humanity and other games that came out using this format. They should have stayed true to form. I'm pretty sure I might try another couple of goes at this, but I can easily see myself uninstalling this one and going back to an earlier version of the game.

as a long time civ player, I dont like it. It is not what civ is about at all.

not as engaging, visually appealing, or strategically deep as its immediate predecessors

Even the 120$ Settlers Edition doesn't include any kind of Season Pass like previous Civ Games, so you have to buy each overpriced new DLC if you want them. Firaxis somehow standardized and simplifyed the winning conditions so now every playthrough feels more or less the same.

先是奠基者版给老玩家端上一盆粑粑一样的半成品，修修补补一年刚更新到能玩，就告诉我们只要再花一百多就可以玩到鬼子和棒子了，好开心啊，让日本和韩国玩家买你的DLC吧
