Sid Meier's Civilization VI

Civilization VI will go down in history as the most fully-featured launch version in the series. Many of those are smartly revamped versions of Civ classics, but it finds its own identity with great new ideas like spread-out cities, customizeable governments, research boosts, and leader agendas. And even though the AI has some improving to do, it can put up enough of a fight to make world dominati...

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is the perfect balance of old school Civilization with some excellent new gameplay mechanics.

Civilization remains the preeminent turn-based strategy game. This iteration has a lot of good ideas and a few flaws in execution. The flaws will be fixed, the good ideas will stay and deepen over time.

Entering a golden age.

The grand-daddy of grand strategy is back and he’s looking more grand then ever before. Yes, it’s the dawn of a new civilisation, Civilization VI to be exact. No longer in its infancy, Civilization as a franchise has evolved a lot throughout the ages (sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse) but I have to say that this most recent iteration is seriously fantastic.

Civilization is finally back on consoles and boy is it still bloody fun to play. With plenty of new systems to get your head around, some fairly intuitive controls and the ability to wage war on your neighbours because they look at you funny, who can possibly say no to that?

Is the latest entry in the series going in the history books as a great one?
