Civilization 7 reviewed by Leana Hafer on PC, also available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, Mac, and Linux.
“With Civilization 7, the desire to streamline and simplify this legendary 4X series feels like it has gone a bit too far, particularly when it comes to the interface. It’s frustratingly inadequate at providing me with the information I need to play well, or even understand what’s going on sometimes. Even so, it does have improved warfare and diplomacy, a bit of added narrative flair, as well as mostly gorgeous graphics and sound, so it can still give me reasons to keep clicking one more turn late into the night. There’s good reason to believe that with Firaxis’s usual pace of patches and expansions it can refine its new ideas and become everything it ought to be, and while what’s here right now is at least still a fun time, it’s also a bigger step backward for the series than we’re accustomed to when a new age dawns.”

Whe it starts with "I dont hate…" then u can already guess the whole review. not hooked to finish the video lol. and 7 / 10 after that ?
This game is a disgrace. Please play any older versions. I've never seen such a confused game .
This game is an abomination.
That would be awesome to civ team add mouse and keyboard support for consoles.
Garbage
lol @ First "Staffed" Spaceflight. it's a meek new world.
My favorite part of the civ series is the ability to individually control everything. Streamlining this series is the worst possible outcome I could think of. There’s a thousand other games for simple people.
Do not buy this game if you're a fan of the old ones. I've attempted to play this game 6 or 7 times. It just doesn't have what the old ones do
so, until they drop the price i'm going to play CIV VI. No way I'm going to spend usd70 in this if ain't clearly better than previous.
the game is so boring i fell asleep in the review of the game
The fact that you can't keep playing is SO DUMB!!! Why am I spending hours upon hours building my civilization to have the game just end? CAN I JUST PLAY PLEASE!!?
Pro tip: The reviewer's voice sounds a lot less whiny if you set the video speed to 1.25
This dude talks so slow, had to put it at 2x speed for him to speak normally
that rivets nailed it
This is by far the worst Cov that's ever been released, so disappointed
I'm so sick of modern """intuitive""" design/UI
I LOVE Civilization VII and I really wish that I'd be able to play Civ VII forever but the game ends extremely quickly 😢
I played the "deity" setting and won the game within days after buying it 😬
I really wish that there's a setting to allow me to play the game forever, even after the modern era ends
The thing that turned me away from civ, is its kinda stale, needs a battle map mechanic.
it looks like shit and the leaders are ugly
Well dammit, that blows. Guess I'll wait and see if they fix it and probably buy in a couple years when it's on sale
Another nail in the coffin of a seminal 4x. It might be good with time….vs. Games that were great upon release. Incredibly sad.
Games used to come with manuals in the box. I miss those days tbh
Told ya'll not the buy DLC's.
Yeah heard this game was structured like a bag of dog sh*t.
