Customers are delighted by the graphics, addictive gameplay, and strategic depth of Sid Meier's Civilization® VI. They appreciate the new features and improvements made from the previous version. However, some customers find the higher difficulty levels to be excessively challenging and express concerns about the AI's functionality and the steep learning curve.

    Got this for my son for Christmas and I've been playing it too. Good fun. I still love Civ 5. If you've played Civ 5, you should be able to hop into this and learn as you go. There are a lot of differences. This edition has more changes than any of the others and is going to take some getting used to.

    Honestly I thought that this game was a bit of a disappointment. I was expecting more from Civilization than what this iteration delivered. I would recommend just because I am an avid fan, but yeah. It's not the best.

    It's a lot like Civ V, but obviously added content. The look of the game is different, but the core mechanics are the same. There's nothing wrong with the game, but I wouldn't purchase unless you get some sort of discount- you could probably live with V otherwise.

    Yes it"s newer,bigger and more complex. The graphics are amazing but game itself in it's more indepth complexity in my opiinion has become that much more cumbersome. Maybe few too many things to have to think about and make the right decision at the right time.

    The most fully featured and ready to play Civilization computer game that I can remember, and I started playing with the original Civilization back in the day. Very nice roster of countries and units, sprawling and detailed map, excellent AI and AI variation. A must for historical 4x and general strategy PC gamers.

    Anyone that's played Civ for the past several versions will definitely enjoy Civ VI. They made several changes on how you manage city's, research, etc. that make playing much more enjoyable, yet challenging in an all new way. After playing for several weeks I'd say this is my favorite version to date!

    I have been playing Civ for a while going back a few generations and have always enjoyed the game play. Civ 6 has some new tactics that I haven't seen in the past which I have to get used to and figure out how to use those resources best

    I have always been a huge Civilization fan and this newest entry doesn't disappoint. The inclusion of districts is a welcome edition and really makes a difference when planning out your city layout. All aspects of the game are highly polished and what you would expect from the Civ series.

    The game is a lot different than the previous civ games. Game is very pretty and runs fast. The constant interruptions of the other leaders is super annoying. I've put about 50 hrs in so far and still trying to figure it out.

    Now you can fight the spread of other religions without going to war. Build districts to build your specialty buildings like workshops, libraries, and temples. Only negative is the amount of time it takes to build things.

    the game is fun but the game got boring playing alone against the AI. the real fun came against other players online...I always play as Gilgamesh since I love the stories of Gilgamesh plus he is awesome in the anime Fate

    Civ VI is exactly what you would expect from a Civilization game. The biggest change is with Cities being "unstacked", much the way that units were, moving from Civ IV to Civ V. It's also much more fleshed-out as a base game than the previous installments. A great value.

    6 is better than 5, for sure. There's a lot more to city building than we're used to in this series, which can be frustrating for a perfectionist, but it gives the game more options, which means more hours.

    This game has significant differences from the last. Sprawling cities, new strategies for city planning and wonders along with an incredibly complex diplomacy major this a hugely immersive game. This may be rough for a new player to the series to adapt to.

    Playing Civilization never gets old. This latest version keeps familiar old general concepts, but invents whole new aspects to the game to make it interesting for both the veteran gamer and the newbie.

    I am a hold out when it comes to the CIV franchise. I did not like CIV 5. I thought it was a really klunky interface and poor experience. CIV 6 has totally changed that. It kept all of the goodness of CIV 4 and retooled the experience. I love this!

    Fun game! The last Civilization I played was #3 I think. The only downside with this game is that you have to download and run Steam to play it.
