at first its a little hard but when you start thinking as a leader the sky is limitless.

Ten years ago, a friend showed me Civ 3? with some expansion pack on the PC. I played it day and night. I didn't realize how many hours would go by playing it. Fast forward to a month ago I saw this game and freaked out and wanted it. Man, did I forget how much thinking and time is put into this. I am a now a mother of three, and a student, and I was so excited to play, but I tell you what, you better be ready to sit down and figure out everything because although this is fun, it can take a long time building up civilationzations from nothing and I don't have the time anymore to sit and play this all day like I used to ten+ years ago.

Many a countless nights were spent playing Civilization Revolution back on the PS3. Those online gaming sessions with friends lasted until dawn. But alas, I've grown older and work a "9 to 5", as do most of my gaming friends. I've enjoyed the game so far. It's Civilization... on a console. It runs well enough, but isn't a graphical powerhouse - it looks like it could run on a PS3. The number of "Leaders" is huge (don't forget to download your bonus civs after installation). The game is deep, with a pretty steep learning curve. While the tutorial is helpful, true mastery only can come with practice and repeated playthroughs. My complaints about the game are minimal. As i said, the tutorial is helpful, but only scratches the surface of what you can do. This was an issue with Civ Rev, too. Controls aren't as intuitive as they could be (switching between units could be made easier). The camera should zoom to your units getting attacked on other civs' turns, but maybe there's a setting for it. One last complaint: This weekend, Civ VI is $20 (physical copy) for the Nintendo Switch, although it released only 1 week prior to the PS4 version. All in all, I'm happy to have Civilization on my PS4. Great strategy games are few and far between on consoles, and Civ VI scratches that itch quite weill. GIve it a go!

Bought this game for my husband. He loves playing it. The graphics are great.

This PS4 game comes on a disc. It is wireless, and the ink doesn't come off of the disc when you rub it in the sand. It is round and there is a hole in the middle! There is no way to play this PS4 game on the Nintendo switch unfortunately. It is waterproof also, so that's a big plus. I don't recommend using this game as a heart surgery guide. Overall it is a pretty good game, and I would buy it 5 more times to complete the set!

This version on PS4 is much more like the computer version. Slow paced and lots of details. The PS3 version is the one I was expecting it to be like, which is more built for turn and burn play.

I have no complaints about this game, and find it works great on console. The price was a deterrent at first, but at $30, it's great. I was enjoying it as it but checked for the add-on content everyone raved about and it's under $40 for both expansions. I downloaded those, and then it looked like there was even more in the game (not on PS Store). I clicked for more info, and it auto downloaded the newest add-ons for free ("Free" since I'd already paid for the previous add-ons). So, as Day 1 release at $59.99 and then another $50 of add-ons, I can see the critique for sure, but as it stands today, I think this game is worth it. For those who have played Civ, you get your money's worth. I have done two games so far, and the first one was honesly 14 hours, and that was just skimming the surface. There are like 30+ leaders, and tons of map variabilty. I will also agree that the game not easy. I have only played on the easiest for the first matches, and it has been challenging. But at the end of the day, this works great on console and I have zero complaints.

This is what world builders can be like. I have been playing Civilization since it first came out and have enjoyed all the new ones. This one I had not purchased earlier as I was enjoying several other games. Now that I have it I like that it is similar to the last model with some nice upgrades including the look of things. It is very crisp on a 4K tv. The gameplay is similar to others but you have many options for how you can play. This one is worth exploring.

Great addition to my PS4 collection. Just wish it would have came with the two expansion packs (or at least be available at Best Buy), but once you add those, it is a deep, difficult game!

its good, graphics are good, controls are a little complicated.

Awesome game ! Love the gameplay! Very detailed with tons of different victory conditions that you can manipulate to keep the game fresh and fun!

Gameplay is a lot better than expected. Visual graphics are also pretty good no issues found when playing. Have played over 8hrs and as time has progressed found no delays. There was one instance though where AI turn would not complete but if you click on a unit or city it will eventually continue with the game. Have only experienced this once, but many more times on the switch. Gameplay runs smoother and unit movement is quicker as well (switch has a lot of issues in this department). Overall I would say it is worth $30 at this point, love it.

I started out the Civilization series with Civ 2 on my PC. Have bought several incarnations of this series and have enjoyed most of them. This one is a good one but it does have a few flaws. The Barbarian system could use a few tweeks, they seem way too powerful too early. Also I have yet to play a world where the other nations are not crowded on top of me. I would like to have some time and room to explore and find stuff, its what made the other earlier games so much fun. I liked finding a deserted village and then getting something, but now you have no time for that because your neighbor is breathing down your butt. It would be nice to be able to explore and see the world. Also it seems like every other nation, no matter the difficulty seems to have the ability to build ships way sooner than you. All and all a good game and well worth the price. If this is the last game in the series then I'm cool with that.

Good game for simulation and strategy. It does have the ability to be expanded with extra content, for of course, extra money. It has come out on other platforms that, the extra content could have been included. Overall great game. Easy to learn and hard to master.

I've yet to win a game. it's been more than a few years since I last played civilization games. I somewhat like it. Be prepared to put in hours in this game.

I bought this after playing Civ Revolution for PS4. Apparently, that's a much stripped down version of the PC game. This game is supposedly closer to that version. I'm still learning so much, but I do enjoy this one still.

Amazing gameplay Lots of details Many hours of fun

This is a close to a PC version of Civ as we’re probably going to get. Much better than the Civ Revolution game of years past.

Steep learning curve on this game, best played on PC, but otherwise it's a great port to the console platform.

Long time lover of Civilizations. Finally got a great console version of it. Some great changes were made and I'm really enjoying this game. My friend finally played Civs for the first time after years of me pestering him to give the series a shot. He can't put it down. Definitely hits that "just one more turn" itch.
