Customers are saying

Customers admire Sid Meier's Civilization VI for its addictive and engaging gameplay, offering numerous possibilities and extensive playtime. 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.

    Not for entry level, casual gamers

    I thought this would make for a good jumping on point, but the game assumes the player has played the first five. Don't jump on this without a handy youtube tutorial.

    I got a little bit bored. It has a lot of information. Although it remembers me a lot to Age of Empires, that is why I am giving it 3 stars

    Love this game but super slow on the switch. Would rather play on the PS4 or computer because it takes way too long to play a game.

    This is not the best version of the game. It had so much potential from the previous installments, but this version doesn’t deliver quite like the others.

    Great to play while trying to fall asleep. The game play is so slow and tedious that it puts me right to sleep.

    It started very slow and pretty boring. But I believe that others would enjoy the gameplay it just wasn’t really my thing.

    I like this game since I get to “ create” my own world. It is a game I can keep going back to and changing how it is played

    I was hoping for something more like Revolution. Maybe that’s my fault and I should have done more research before purchase.

    This was alright but it’s kind of difficult to control on the switch. I would much prefer to play it on a pc as intended by the creators.

    Thought I would like this game but, it was too slow paced for me. I’m sure many other people enjoy the pacing but, not for me.

    I have been a long time fan of Age of Empires and was expecting this to be a mobile version of it; not quite; but keeps you entertained.

    OK game but my 11 year son puts this down on his list of games to play. Buy it when on sale is on.

    Bought this thinking it would be like civilization revolution. It’s similar, but far more complicated. Good though.

    I've been enjoying civilization series...but it's difficult to control the game with Switch. I recommend playing PC version.
