If strategy games are your thing, then Sid Meier's Civilization VI is an absolute phenomena. The game is a perfect cocktail of strategy, historical depth and imagination. You have to lead a civilization throughout the ages. From how to win a war, to how to progress science or culture; the strategic options are limitless.

The stand out feature of CIV VI has to be the number of different ways to play the game. If you are an expansionist militarist, or a peaceful builder who won in a culture-dominated race, or even a diplomatic strategist – there is a route for you. Every civ has its own capabilities and units which makes every approach unique.

The graphics is great, with a new bright and colourful style compared to old versions. The likeliness of the world is astonishing because the maps are very artistic, and the cities are teeming with life. At certain levels, it becomes easy to forget the world you are in as you concentrate on the details of your cities, armies and various wonders you have built.

The new district system is also a fun twist, as it makes planning how a city will look and function a more entertaining part of the game. It is interesting to consider how to organize areas such as science or entertainment centers in order for them to function properly which adds another level when taking care of the city.

The only bad thing I can think of is that the game can at some points be badly intimidating and feel overwhelming for new players. You have to learn the game in order to enjoy it, just like other strategy games like Hearts of Iron or Europa Universalis.
