Sid Meier's Civilization VII

There are more people playing Civilization V rather that Civilization VII. If that doesn't tell you something then I don't know what will.

pathetic

I don't know why but's it's boring

Eine Partie gespielt und knapp 30 Stunden Spielzeit. Mein Fazit: leider ernüchternd. Ich habe wirklich lange gewartet, mir das Spiel zu holen. Ich hatte gehofft, dass nach all den Patches endlich der Spielspaß zurückkehrt. Leider hat sich das für mich nicht bestätigt. Das Spiel wirkt auf mich einfach zu überladen, zu langsam und an vielen Stellen unnötig kompliziert. Regierungsformen kann man beispielsweise nur beim Zeitalterwechsel ändern – das fühlt sich für mich künstlich eingeschränkt an. Kriege machen mir ebenfalls kaum Spaß, und im Endgame läuft es gefühlt nur noch darauf hinaus, Atomwaffen ohne nennenswerte Konsequenzen einzusetzen. Auch die Stadtstaaten nerven mich inzwischen eher, als dass sie das Spiel bereichern. In jedem Zeitalter beginnt man wieder von vorne und muss sie erneut zu Verbündeten machen. Die Zeitalterwechsel selbst gefallen mir überhaupt nicht. Vielleicht kann man sie irgendwann deaktivieren – ich habe bereits gesucht, aber bisher keine Möglichkeit gefunden. Den Wiederspielwert sehe ich ehrlich gesagt momentan überhaupt nicht. Optisch ist das Spiel wirklich gelungen, daran gibt es für mich nichts auszusetzen. Da ich hier eine Empfehlung aussprechen muss, fällt sie leider gegen dieses Spiel aus. Stattdessen würde ich weiterhin Civilization VI empfehlen. Tut mir leid. Wirklich. Es tut fast weh, das zu schreiben.

Been playing Civ since the 90's. Superfan of the whole series of games. Civilization VII is awful. Completely out of balance. The mechanics are frustrating. Not fun or enjoyable at all. Probably one of the most annoying games I've ever played and I came into this one already a huge advocate of the franchise. This game would require a giant overhaul and all Firaxis has done is push out more useless, overpriced DLC's. Total money grab and not worth the time. Really sorry to write a negative review, but you guys used to be more interested in listening to the fans and building a great game. Not sure what happened...

Worst Civ game ever, Wish I had never bought it. Absolute rubbish

[h1] This Game Still Aint It [/h1] I've never hated a Civ game in my life, but here we are. I've played every single iteration back to CIV 3. This game just doesn't feel like it has the required moving parts to feel like Civ. Civ despite it's complexity was a game that understood it took time to play, and didn't go out of it's way to waste it. I keep giving this game a chance with the updates but, [b] There has never been an installment that dares you to enjoy it as much as this one. [/b] We're not talking about difficultly. We're talking about design decisions that make you realize you might have something, anything, better to do than play a video game right now. Even after all the needed polish updates since launch you can still clear a hostile settlement only to have a hostile warrior spawn in the cleared tile the very next turn. You can still only be 20 turns in and sanctioned blitz to the point you'd rather a diplomatically delegated kick to the d*** than get hit with one more. If you're a long time fan as of July 2026 this game still isn't it. And it may never be. [b] If you want a red flag just look at how many paid dlc items this iteration has compared to what it's predecessor did at this point in it's lifespan. [/b] It becomes clear any design ideas weren't to build the next foundation of a great Civ game you could play for years. It's just here to make you hope the next nickel and dime you spend may be the one that gives you that feeling of accomplishment a game of Civ could give you. Something right now it is not capable of giving you.

One of the single biggest requirements for a strategy game is that it is easy to visually process. You should be able to tell what everything is at a glance. No matter how good it looks, it won't be playable if that criteria is not met and that is exactly what happened with Civ 7. The only thing needed to fix this is a strategic view that past entries had, but who knows if they will ever implement one. For as much effort as the dev team put into reducing the burnout from micromanagement that past games had, the art team just made it 10 times worse by replacing clicks with eye strain. The game is exhausting to play and it's also frustrating because you will repeatedly make mistakes from misinterpreting the map tiles. It's a shame because I really like a lot of the ideas in this game. I genuinely think that it can be better than Civ 6 if given the chance. It has the tools to solve most of the complaints that other reviewers have, it just needs the continued investment to grow. I do think like 80% of the issue is with the terrain. If someone made a mod for a terrain lens, it would go a long way, but it would make the game look terrible and you would spend most of the time in that mode lol.

SIX WAS BETTER REQUIRES 2K ACCOUNT TO PLAY ONLINE, LOTS OF BUGS, GAMEPLAY NOT AS IN DEPTH AS PREVIOUS... MADE FOR CONSOLES OR TOUCH SCREEN, HOTKEYS ARENT REALLY A THING

This game is still BUNS as of July 9th 2026 the issue is basically the whole game mechanics is built around the different civ/leader hopping and even tho the devs has tried their best to make this game more engaging it still suffers from the underling foundations of the swap and match style i paid $47 for the base version with the new updates and the issue is first you cant beat the game in your first era. if you start off as antiquity or exploration you arent allowed to win even if you steam roll the other civs. it just will spawn more AI units or rebels and even your friends will declare war on you and try to drag you down. even if you beat them all the victory score wont appear until the next era or until the game lets you in the modern age. also all of the war stops when changing eras and so it resets everything. you could literally be one more attack on a city before the end of the turn and if you dont capture it then you have restart at attacking the city all over. this game really forces you to build your cities and town in the antiquity era and pretty much impossible to win a war against a civ in the antiquity era because the AI can spawn so many units at a crazy speed. you can take over a city or two but you really can't just wipe them off. PLUS THEY SPAM SETTLERS LIKE CRAZY they just create two cities while you take one i hate that the leaders dont have their own civs. it's so frustrating tubman is the worst one. its an odd leader and i dont understand it america civ honestly is really bad and lame nothing unique about it the devs just need to release a bunch of more free DLC to make this somewhat better value and just go straight to civ8 and learn from their mistakes navigable rivers is really nice i was never a naval player but this made it more useful and fun that's about the only good part
