I really wanted to love Civ VI — I’ve played the series in several of its versions and given how much I loved Civ V, I expected this to be a purchase I would love.Not so much.What I liked are the updated graphics, new techs, and I’m intrigued (but not sold on) the city districts. But I find the AI too aggressive (I spend a lot of time dealing with surprise war declarations) and even in settler mode, without knowing which victory you’re working towards ahead of time, you’ll lose. I really miss the versatility of gameplay in the older games. With other Civ games you could get aquainted with gameplay in settler mode and then challenge yourself later. Even on the easiest setting, I found I was struggling to earn a win with Civ VI.

The Good:- it’s Civ- more layers of complexity added to the gameThe Bad:- gameplay is slow. I have to wait just as long for the AI turn to finish as it does for me to make all my moves- the tutorial and civopedia do a poor job of explaining new features in the game (faith, religion, art,…)- No trackpad supportThe ugly:- just crashed on me twice in a day. Thankfully there’s an autosave function, but still kinda annoying.Overall fun game, but they need to refine it to justify the high price.
