There are lots of systems that are all extremely refined and work well together. These are the crowning jewel of the game. While many of the systems are borrowed from previous games in the Civilization franchise, the flavor, experience and style are all its own.Ĭivilization VI, like all proper 4x games, is about systems. I never felt asleep at the wheel just waiting for one progress bar or another to finish so I could move onto the next phase of my plan. You may have planned to be a peaceful alliance builder, but as you defeat a barbarian attack, military technologies and militaristic civics became a better investment, causing you to move in those directions. This had a lot to do with the new enhancement to the technology system which rewards you with reduced research times to technologies by completing certain actions. This is not caused by random events or the like, but simply by the amount of new opportunities I was being presented with. Instead of long-term plans, the order of the day seems to be immediate reaction and exploitation of opportunities. Civilization VI requires a more reactive playstyle. In previous Civilization games, I often found myself making extremely detailed plans and carrying them out over long periods of time with the occasional distraction or annoyance from the other civilizations in the game. There are also a lot of little touches which are very useful and neat, like news and intelligence reports which keep you up to date on the progress of the other civilizations and the old map style background instead of grey “fog-of-war.” The gameplay is also rather smooth, though it can take some time between turns. This makes possible some great gameplay diversity. You can end up developing your civilization in strange and lopsided ways.
Despite the marketing which seemed to take itself seriously, this game is all about cartoony fun in a historical setting. You will interact with them, trade with them and go to war with them using the military units you produce in your cities.Ĭivilization VI is not a historical reenactment, more closely resembling “Peabody’s Improbable History” from a Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon. You will also meet other civilizations who are trying to expand and develop their empires. Assuming you are successful, you will take a simple nomadic tribe and turn it into a post-industrial empire with aircraft carriers, nuclear bombs and the ability to reach another planet (though that is where the game ends). As the game progresses, you build more cities, more soldiers and develop technologies that will take you to our current level of technological development. For those unfamiliar with the Civilization franchise, the game begins with a settler who can build a city and a guy with a club.
It draws on the best aspects of the Civilization franchise, refines and explores them in new, frankly superior, ways and produces a complete, well-tested and incredibly fun experience on launch.Ĭivilization VI is, of course, a turn-based 4X (explore, expand, exploit and exterminate) game in a historical setting.
#SID MEIERS CIVILIZATION VI SERIES#
This game seeks to give new players a jumping on point in the series while providing fans with a new experience and succeeds on both fronts. The new concepts introduced work extremely well and the twists on classic elements are so well done they make one wonder why things weren’t always done in this fashion. The game begins with almost all of the features in Civilization V and adds new concepts and twists on classic elements of the game. Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, from Firaxis, is the latest installment in the storied Civilization franchise.
