Sid Meier's Civilization VII

I've put in the hours and did the cultural victory, which came too fast. I did the military victory, which was too easy. I achieved both victories so soon after entering the "modern age" that I felt cheated, so I started a new campaign with only science victory as my goal. I haven't even built my first aircraft and I've already researched everything. There is nothing more to research! The game hasn't ended, but it is boring me to death! They left so much out from the previous civs that this has got to be the most lackluster civ game I've ever played! I'll do Humankind, Millennia, or even ARA next before I load up this wannabe Civ game! I'm glad I got it on a sale, though I'm still upset I spent any money on this. If Sid Meier had any part in creating this version, he has lost his touch! They need a massive patch to fix this, and that patch better not come with a price tag disguised as "DLC"!

I have been playing Civilization since Civ 2, so when I say I don't recommend this game, give it some merit. I'll give it to you in a few reasons: 1. It fails to be satisfying in either micromanagement or macromanagement. The towns/cities system punishes both for different reasons. 2. It is too easy for AI opponents to get runaway advantages for certain victory conditions, and equally impossible to do anything to stop them. Someone can be 30% to a cultural victory, you go to war with them, take half their civilization, and it barely put a dent in their progress. 3. Building on #2, it feels like your decisions don't really matter that much to affect the game. 4. War exhaustion makes war nearly impossible. War has always been part of the fun in Civ, but now it is the path of MOST resistance in almost every scenario. 5. The "independent states" aka barbarians have unreasonable amounts of units all the time. They field as many combat units as entire nations, and if you're unlucky enough to start near a hostile one, you might as well forget doing anything that age but dealing with the independent state.

On launch the game was a dreadful was of time. And honestly a disgrace to the franchise. I have recently re downloaded the game to see if it has improved? were features and content flushed out?. I may never know. The game has an updated User agreement. That in no way, shape, or form. Can I, in good conscience agree to. Then mandatory agreement to forfeit your legal rights and protections.... absurd.

they seem to have ruined this game, i have 6 and 7, everytime i want to play, i click on 6. Besides the navigable rivers, this is a step backwards

Worst game ever. They also won’t give me a refund. DO NOT BUY. I WANT A REFUND NOW.

Gosh. You know as a very long ime player of Civ (from the 1st Edition) I have to say that this version is a bit of a step backwards in regards to playing experience. I can appreciate the time and experience streams and they are intreguing but the pace ofplay is a lot slower than previous versions. Having to click on each individual unit to give orders is a major irritant. So far I have made 5 attempts at playing this version and have yet to complete one of them I keep on returning to Civ VI.

I have poured nearly 4,000 hours of my life into the Civilization franchise. I am exactly the type of dedicated fan who drops $130 on the premium Founders Edition without hesitation because I trusted this developer. I genuinely liked Civ 7 up to this point. But with their latest update, Firaxis and 2K have made it clear that they no longer care about making great games—they only care about how much money they can milk out of us.The blatant corporate greed and deceptive marketing in their latest patch notes is disgusting. They literally sneaked a paid $30 DLC announcement into the exact same breath as a free patch, writing: "And lastly, this free update launches alongside Part 1 of our newest paid Content Collection: Brush and Blade." This is predatory, insulting grammar. Bundling "free update" and "paid Content Collection" in the same sentence is a deliberate tactic to obscure the price tag and hijack consumer goodwill. After bleeding your most loyal fans for $130 upfront, you expect us to squint through patch notes like a legal document just to find out we're being nickel-and-dimed for more content? The monetization has officially ruined the experience. I have given nearly a thousand hours to Civ 7, but I cannot recommend a game that treats its community like an open wallet. If you buy this, prepare to be viewed as a cash cow, not a player. Fix your monetization and start treating your players with transparency, Firaxis. This is shameful.

An extraordinarily bad game. Buy any other Civ game but definitely not this one.
