Sid Meier's Civilization VI

Civ 6 nailed deep strategic decision-making, player agency, and empire-building. Each game felt unique with meaningful choices in loyalty, great people, and diplomacy. The UI had quirks, but the depth of mechanics and emergent gameplay made it an endlessly replayable experience. A true evolution of the series.

It was a long way to get there. If your only question is: Should i buy this game? Yes, definitely. You should buy it over pretty much every other 4X game, even Civ5 and definitely Civ7 can be considered worse games than this. This game is thousands upon thousands hours of content for pretty cheap price (around 30 euro on sale for full game). So, if you didn't play the game review can be considered over for you. I definitely recommend this game. Final score is at the end, but there is gonna be not a lot of talk about basic stuff. Civ6 praise and critique. A long wall of text could be written about Civ6 issues, but let's talk about good things: 1) Repeatability. Many Paradox gamers can talk anything they want about how the game is boring and the same every game, but if you dive deeper into core gameplay there is a lot of things balanced around your decisions and game accepts many different strategies to reach any victory type. Also, every civilization, leader, spawn location influence a lot. 2) Deep. Core mechanics are very deep and influence all other mechanics a lot. Your early pantheon can make or break the game, districts are core for any victory type etc. 'Additional' mechanics from DLCs or mods are worse, but still many of them can change your game in even unknown to your eye things. 3) One more turn effect. Present and addictive more than in any game series.This things are the best things that Civ6 can offer, core game without any mods are balanced pretty good if you don't abuse it and your strategies work and work very well most of the time. You can influence every little aspect and change the course of entire run by little decisions. It is so addictive and fun! Bad things are present too and there are a lot of things I hope gonna be fixed in Civ8 ( because Civ7 is broken beyond repair ). Let's focus on two main problems: 1) AI. It's stupid, unbalanced, unfair and not fun at all. Early game you feel like punching bag, late game is walk in the park if you know any good tactic and understand basics of how to win. Even mods can't fix this things and you need to actively avoid abusing the game and AI to not break immersion. 2) Multiplayer. Bugs, unfair balance in the base game and stupid amount of time you need to finish even a duel on the smallest map breaks MP experience for ****, I love this game. I really hope Civ7 gonna become a better version of it or modders gonna create It, because some things are just impossible to ignore. If you want to improve your experience, please install mods. Be careful with them and play around to see what suites you the most. Around 150+ hours of Epic Civ6 version without mods taught me how painful sometimes is to play vanilla game. Time for final score! "Story": 6/10. Civ6 is NOT historically accurate game and it works badly with presenting it, but the immersion effect is pretty great and the game itself without forcing it creates a pretty funny liberal-communist situation. Gameplay: 8/10. There are issues discussed above, but game is still one of the best 4X games with deep mechanics that have meaning. Is it too long? Yes. Games on faster difficulties break immersion, games on longer difficulties are 40+ hours to finish. I recommend using mods to fix this issue. Graphics: 6/10. Controversial style, but very readable and 'stylish' in it's own sense. Final score: 76/100. Civ6 is not perfect 4X, jeez, it is not even perfect Civilization game but it is very deep and meaningful and addictive for you to spend 1000+ hours on it. Deffo recommend!

Civilization VI, grand strategy denince akla gelen ilk oyunlardan biri. Hatta Tunapamir’in dediği gibi “modern satranç” olarak bile görülebilir. Oyunda yapabileceğiniz sayısız strateji var ama yavaş temposu bazı oyuncuları sıkabilir. Şahsen ben satrançta bile hızlı (bullet) tempoyu sevdiğim için oyunun temposu bana ağır geldi. Yine de uzun uzun düşünmek ve gerçek bir strateji deneyimi yaşamak isteyenler için kesinlikle şans verilmesi gereken bir oyun.

This game is too weird and too complex, with stupid and cartoonish art style. Feels like a manga game for zoomers. Besides, with all DLCs this games costs more the 200 $. I have over 1000 hours of gameplay in Civilization 5, and I could never get used to Civilization 6. Civilization 5 is much better in every way.

Really fun to play with friends. Don't bother playing it alone, the AI is absolutely worthless. Also the graphics are somehow much worse than 5. Districts are a cool idea, but overall its inferior to 5 + Vox Populi.
