Sid Meier's Civilization VII

奠基在哪，制作组老冯在哪，两个领袖加几个狗屁文明， 卖129？我去创意工坊随便下几个mod都比这勾八dlc强。

2k needs to resolve their account issues - I have my 2k account and steam accounts linked but the game says that I am not logged in.....this makes playing across devices impossible. Just implement steam cloud save! It's free! Don't make me use a worse thing.

This isn't even a Civ game. Illusion of choices, game is an autoplay slop fest. It looks nice..But you have no idea what you're looking at because it's all just filled with trees and fancy details blocking everything. Why is a grainery a entire tile?

My copy of the settler edition was acquired at a 65% discount from a third party scalper that got impatient that his keys weren’t selling. I likely would not have tried the game otherwise. Firaxis… sorry no that’s not right I know who the real culprit is… TakeTwo. This is not GTA V online. These prices are greedy even compared to Paradox games who are known for being greedy. In order to sell this amount of microtransactions and have Civilization 7 be the live service game you want it to be so badly, you first need to sell people on the product you’re selling. The launch did not do that. I know there are at least some alarm bells going off in your guys head after Alexander and Gilgamesh, two fan favorite leaders, were added to the game for free. If you want to keep pumping out this DLC you have to make the base game cheaper or, I can’t believe I’m even saying this, add a paid sub like newer Paradox games have added. Please. I’ve played every civilization entry since 3 and after the first big expansion and some QOL I could see this dethroning 6 as my favorite entry to the series. Firaxis is on the right track, give them the ability to flourish.

It's a bad game and it's even worse as a Civilization game. 1. Atrocious UI that bombards the player with information while most if is useless though. There are to many menus. Menu handling is terrible as well. Various functionalities are extremely confusing and frustrating in their use. Clicks are not being recognized. I want to cancel a simple action but instead the entire menu closes. Finding relevant information in this convoluted mess is unnecessarily difficult and time consuming. The supposed help in various cases didn't actually help because it contains self-referential statements. 2. Even the Tutorial is useless. You start a new map and get these giant popups with generic text that is supposed to highlight relevant functionalities which it doesn't really. Then there is supposed to be the "k" button to highlight something but it doesn't actually highlight anything and just makes the screen darker on the entire UI. I've tried to use that with various functionalities and it always just leaves me baffled in what it is actually supposed to do. If you have played Civ games before you can figure quite a bit out on your own but why have a Tutorial if it doesn't really help in learning the basics? 3. I do not like the visuals of Civ 7. In combination with the awful UI it makes a lot of things really hard to see. Where in Civ 6 it was usually quite easy to identify districts, basic tile improvements as well as general environmental aspects and units, it has become a lot harder as they have tried to go for a more realistic look that makes a lot of things just melt together in the background and it results in me always searching for stuff. 4. The nation and leader selection thing at the start in my opinion is also awful. I started two matches with mostly randomized settings and it resulted in an indian leader while playing as Japan and there other was some black woman leader while playing as Russia. It takes me completely out of the fantasy of playing as the respective nation. It just looks and feels disconnected - especially when after some time that age system kicks in an suggests to switch to a different nation. No.....just no.... 5. Also regarding the era system => I hate it. First off all, towards the end of the era the game forces debuffs on your nation (a "crisis") where you get mood penalties in the population or some other nonsense. It's not because of something natural that happens that you somehow defeat and get rid off. It's just that aftr 2/3 of the era, things are going bad and you for the remaining time till the era change you have to play with these debuffs which can be causing riots and other problems. I do not understand how this is supposed to make the game more fun. And then once the era timer reaches 100%, you switch to the next era which changes various things on the map for your cities and settlements, moves units around or even replaces them. You're basically put into a new game with a map looking mostly the same but a different status quo that you're now supposed to deal with. It's just bad design in my opinion. The entire idea behind it is awful and should've been scrapped from the beginning. 6. Military units no longer have experience. That is now entirely part of the leader unit. So if you want to fight wars, you're supposed to have these leaders in there, which then are supposed to be specialized either to something more melee or ranged oriented or be something of a defense supporter. They seem to also be used for certain buffs in the cities. It's definitely questionable whether this is good or bad design. Personally I think taking the entire experience aspect away from the combat units is a bad decision because it forces me to play with these leaders which makes the positioning and handling of combat more convoluted. It allows for movement as a single unit for the leader plus up to 6 military units but at the destination you then have to split them up again which creates another bit of a mess again. 6. The handling of non-combat units is also just confusing. I do not really understand what is going on with things like traders. I define a trade route and the unit moves there and then I select a trade route again but it's not really clear how or where things are actually moved or in what way. And due to Ui being bad it isn't really self explanatory what this stuff is doing. The game also isn't exactly motivating in a way so I'd want to look more deeply into it as it quickly just becomes boring and annoying. I'd like to say something positive about the game but it's really hard to find anything in Civ 7 that I actually like. It hasn't crashed in the couple of hours I've played it... In any way in my opinion Civ 7 is a complete failure within this series and the only thing I'm happy about is that I at least didn't buy it and was able to take a look at this mess for free (well I have spend time though...).

I was familiar with a lot of the negative criticism surrounding this game, but I wanted to give it a fair shot since it was free to play for a week. As a fan of the Civilization series and strategy games in general, there is a lot of positive things I could say about Civilization VII but I believe this entry has some very poor game design decisions that absolutely kill my enjoyment of it. I could elaborate on some of its many issues (poor UI/UX, civ switching, excessive monetization...) but at its core what fundamentally kills the game for me is the era transition system. Just like most civilization games the game is actually fun once it gets going but even with the recent changes the era transitions still feel like a punch in the gut. It almost feels as if you were having fun building your own sandcastle and then the game goes out of its way to stomp it to the ground. It also kills most long term strategies once you get close to the end of an era, since beyond triumphs and what's already immediately available to you won't have much of an impact in the next one. It pains me to say this, but I think above all else this core mechanic is antithetical to a strategy game. I get that they wanted to curb player snowballing and make the eras feel more special, but all it amounts to is taking agency away from the player in a very unengaging way. If I wanted a "reset" I could already do that by starting a new game, instead now I am forced to do that twice a game while slowing down the pace and limiting my strategical options for no apparent reason.

I give this game bad cuz the music in Explo and Moden Age have that old lady rapping, its so disgusting...cant stand it, every time it play I have to Tab outside to watch some Youtube to relax my poorly soul!
