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.

    Well I remember playing this game on PC and thinking that I loved it. Turns out that turn based mechanics are not my favorite afterall. If you like turn based games then this one is for you. :)

    Controls are terrible. It’s hard to just figure out how to play. Not as good as the old computer game that I used to play.

    Perhaps my family is not ready for it. Lots of description and hard to play for us. We tried one week and now it just sits on the shelf.

    I got this for my switch collection because it was on clearance. Never played the series before but I know it has it's fans. I'm not one of them.

    Never really got started because I have to watch a 20-minute long youtube video to even understand the controls and play scheme for just the first round.

    Would not buy again. It’s super complicated and the graphics are basic. My son did not play it more than 3 times. Waste of money.

    I was excited to try this game out but had never played before. The tutorial does not offer a lot of help so I was not able to figure out how to play..

    A coworker said this is a fun game and he plays it often but it’s just not my style. Best Buy car pickup was very convenient!

    Not my style of game. I would reccomend getting on sale. I got sale with discount and turned around and traded in for around the same price paid for.

    My copy of the game was perfect. I just don’t like the game. It is extremely confusing if you haven’t played before and online tutorials are not helpful.

    I can see what they were going for when they made this game but there is nothing fun or even informative about it. I tried to play a couple of times but quit when Ghandi was mad at me for not having enough military units and the other world leaders got mad that I wouldn’t trade oil for open borders.
