Fantastic game, so many different ways to play.... What I like least is the user interface.

The game is disappointing compared to Civ 6. Maybe the next patches can save the game.

As a Civ 6 fan, I was disappointed by this opus, which isn't bad but isn't excellent, which is disappointing.

Looking forward to playing this great game! Continuation of a great saga that promises a lot! I hope they keep adding content to surpass their previous installments.

It lacks to polish some aspects. I do not like that the game ends and can not continue as in civ vi. Little variety of maps.

The game could be good, but it's not. The immersion isn't there, the UI is worthy of a mobile game, the progression system is poorly explained and literally destroys what the player achieves from one age to the next. Battles are simplistic and not that great, to the detriment of any strategic aspect they might have had...

The game feels incomplete, and more so for the price it has. Right now I'd rather keep playing VI than this one.
