Fairly complicated to learn, i had watch several videos and i am still unsure how to really play. i do like the concept, wish there was more of a campaign mode that exposed how to do things in small chunks before exposing a new player to full experience. Also need guided explanations instead of just having to read novels to learn. Overall, it's a game that, in its current state, you really have to be willing to learn.

Example reviewLooks great
Recommended19 hours playedEnglishI really don't get the hate... no, I did understand the thing about mandatory civilization swap, but now it's fixed! So... what's up? The visuals are gorgeous; the AI is smarter... I wouldn't say the game is better than it's predecessor - Civilization 6 - but then again It's still young and still got time to get even better...

Most helpful reviews, 24 to 30 September
Steam’s top-ranked review for and against it in these 7 days, in English. Votes as they stood when this map was made.
Unfinished game, outrageous DLC policy, insanely bad UI design. Feels like the game lost its CIV identity completely. CIV V and VI are way better as the new "features" of VII are so half baked and annoying.
