Sid Meier's Civilization VII

good enough game but 30$ for 2 civs, xd out of your mind firaxis

I'll agree with many others - the game seems unfinished. There's no consolidated management views - no easy way to look across your cities or your troops. Combat mechanics are very clearly broken and buggy. Leaders and civs are wildly unbalanced, and many of the things that made older Civ games so charming - building the space ship, decorating the throne room, etc - are wholly absent.

They changed 1 setting and i bought the game. Its still not as good as any of the other games and hollow. Sync with other nations in tech/civic tree is odd and should be removed.

I really want to enjoy it, but it's just bland. Stacking a bunch of units on a commander just makes them a target and the fighting is dull. Building takes so long I have a hard time keeping track of what my goals were and I am often bored with the game before I finish the first era.

The fact that I bought the founders edition and I'm being charged £25 for a DLC that only adds a few new playable leaders and civs is quite frankly disgusting. In this economy, Firaxis do not care about taking you to the cleaners for your hard earned money whether you buy premium versions or not. The game is in a lot better state than it was on release, but it's still unpolished. Personally, I wouldn't recommend. Play Civ 6 instead.

Overall, this game has potential and after recent major gameplay related updates it is much better than it was in the beginning but damn... Bugs that hard to describe here and there and The Greed of 2K or Firaxis ruins it. Also, I believe when people have been saying that it has bad UI it is because sometimes there is some UI inconsistent behavior that is really hard to describe but it feels like it is not responsive when you select items / click, it feels like it was not designed for a mouse... Like UI / buttons have a bug that sometimes left clicks are not registered and it gives very bad impression, also please fix that after saving / loading custom rules presets the map / game seed value does not update itself, in CIV6 there is no such issue, also please add map search options. Also, this game does not launch after latest patch. Where's my "FOUNDERS" money gone, Firaxis... -_-. At this point, I just can't recommend this just yet... It is better than on the launch date but there is still A LOT to fix / add / improve, also for me it feels like there is still not enough strategic depth currently in the game. Wait for more major updates and some good discounts.

After a year, I still can't recommend. Over $100 and 300 hours in game, and the game still has numerous bugs and feels now like it's *almost* to the state that it should have been at a year ago. Instead of dropping another $30 DLC for Japan (which absolutely should have been in the base game) they need to fix the problems with the base game.
