Really great survival game which is great to play with friends. Wish there was some more in-depth content like more variety in building and enemies but overall fantastic content, especially for a game in early access. Highly recommended.

This game is FANTASTIC, except the fact that Polaris is broken as hell. They are so broken it isn't even fun to play anymore. I'll change my review if they nerf them but until then the game is unplayable if you PAY for the DLC tribe that breaks the balance of the game.

Suggested nerf:
- Decrease range power of the fortress
- Remove the ability to freeze water from the battle sled
- Make the freeze water/unit ability for the Polaris super unit an action not a passive ability.

Great game, easy to learn, and fun to play. I question some of the DLC tribes but as a base game it is fantastic.

UPDATE:
After thoroughly playing the game and 100% the achievements I can confidently say I think civ 6 is better than its predecessor civ 5. While different, once you get used to it civ 6 has far more content, a better (in my opinion) art style, and overall a better experience. Although pricey, you should be able to snag the Anthology edition for cheap whenever it is on sale which is quite common.


Original Review:
While I personally still believe Civilization V was the best installment of the series this game is nonetheless still a well made and strategic game. One of my biggest criticism of it's predecessor was the length some games took, and with this version they seem to have managed to add options so that if you prefer, you can finish games in quicker amounts of time and in more sitting, albeit one long sitting. Coming from Civilization V or any other Civilization game it is a lot of change and something that takes getting used to. However, other than the practically annoying religious system which will have you constantly having to pump out religious units to even maintain your religion these new systems are well made and thought out. One of the major bugs though is the Aid Requests, when a civilization is wrecked by a natural disaster, they have the option to propose to the world congress an aid request to help them rebuild and the civilizations that help out and send them aid through sending gifts of gold or constructing aid projects in their cities earn diplomacy points and diplomatic victory points. The issue is when every civilization is sending you gold and completing aid projects (which grant you gold per turn) in all of their cities you end up with 20k+ gold by the end of it, in other words it is very... very... broken.

But a TLDR is the game is good, not as good as it's predecessor, but still a strong game in it of itself and something that you will most likely enjoy and will continue getting updates. Once they iron out some major bugs the game will be even better and more balanced.

Fantastic Game and IMO the best installment in the Civilization series. The only downside to this game, or for that matter any types of games like this is the length they can sometimes take. If you start a game don't expect to finish it that night or even the next, hard competitive games take hours to complete and play through, although, you will most of the time have an idea who is going to win by mid game.

My friends and I often get nothing but bugs when we attempt to play this game. For example, one game 2 out of the three of us couldn't even press any buttons, it would just automatically choose everything for us. Once they fix their major bugs then the game will be much better and enjoyable.

Very fun game! I love leveling up my steam account! oh ♥♥♥♥.. I mean character!

Very Fun game, however, now that it is free to play, unless you buy the prime pass, there is no point to download the game. It is nothing but hackers in non-prime. Otherwise, VACNet seems to be working to an extent, and if they keep improving their anticheat it will improve the hacking situation in the game
