Very complicated game. Controls are smooth and graphics are nice, but help and hints first time round were not enough. Steep learning curve.

It is a great match for my favorite type of games and the price was right so I picked it up for another option on the Switch... looking forward to log a lot more time on this one after the kids go to bed!

Good port of Civ VI

This is a good port of the game. If you're not familiar with Civ VI, this is the base game. There is a lot of DLC that you could purchase, but for the casual player of the game, the base game is sufficient.

This game is timeless. I can play even when multitasking with life. I can put it down with out having to worry I'm going to die. Turn based game makes it fun to play while being busy with life.

Deep satisfaction. I absolutely love this game and am thrilled that it came to the Nintendo Switch! Can now take it everywhere I go. Best Buy is phenomenal. Lowest prices and lighting fast shipping. I couldn’t ask for a better game buying experience.

I bought it at launch. Overall an excellent game. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the switch version has a few bugs but I am sure they will be fixed with a software update.

Sink hundreds of hours into this game playing as some very cool historical figures. Although it’s on other systems, the Nintendo Switch is my favorite version since I can play it on the go.

Great game and it's a lot easier to get into the simplistic 4x art-style with the traditional hexcomb feel of the Sid Meier's games. I'd say it's well worth the price.

This is a really good strategy game. You can create your own kingdom and either go to war against other nations or lead in peace. I’d recommend this to anyone especially for the Nintendo switch.

Plays almost exactly like the PC versions. It's a great update to a classic game. If you'd never played the CIV series, do yourself a favor and buy it. You won't regret it.

Complicated but fun

This game is really complicated. It’s a lot of fun and is very addictive, but watch several tutorials before you play. Even after watching how to guides, put it in a really easy setting to get the hang of the movement and city building/placement strategies. Resources are very important, and if you don’t have the right setup your cities falter and do not grow (making them borderline useless since they cannot make builders or military units).
Tons of possibilities on how you want to play. Boost science vs faith vs military vs building wonders of the world.

This is a fun strategy game. If you use the touchscreen it works quite well, but if you are playing on a tv screen the controls are complex to get familiar with.

Love the portability of being able to play on the switch however me and others I know with this game on the switch platform have trouble with it crashing during endgames. Auto save is your friend!

I had Age of Empires for the PC back in the late 90s and really liked the SIM City aspect but with military units.
Now that I own a Switch, CIV 6 filled that void.
Just one more turn....
