The game's portability is also a significant plus, with many praising its convenience on the Switch. However, some users find the controls challenging and require time to master, while others mention the game's complexity and steep learning curve. The smaller screen size on the Switch is also noted as a potential drawback by some players.

This is a great series of games, that only get better with each iteration (They do get harder too).

Steep Learning Curve

Civ 6 is a great game, but you have to invest a ton of hours in it do understand it - you can't just click "new game" and go in blind. I had to go through multiple built-in tutorial sections to understand how the game played, and often have to check guides to remember how certain functions work.

I've been playing Civ since the beginning and I absolutely love these games. They're very fun and extremely time consuming..... which is just fine by me.

Civilization is a great strategy game, but this version on the switch is inferior to the pc version.

This game brings me back to computer class in school while we all played the first game to this series secretly behind our work. It's a great game!

I bought this for my son to introduce him to turn based games, remembering how fun CIV 1 was when I was a kid. He lost interest during the tutorial so I gave it a shot. While I appreciate the depth of the skill trees, it is far too steep a curve for initial gameplay. I ended up playing less than my son.

I love the fact that this is in the switch. Probably wouldn’t have bought if not on sale but maybe since I can transfer the saves back and forth
