Reacclimatising to Civilization is a breeze. Perhaps it is this refreshing commitment to change that has not merely kept the Civilization franchise around for 25 years, but has allowed it to flourish creatively so many years after it debuted in 1991. It may be hard to believe, then, that Civilization VI is significantly better. Civilization V, for example, is one of the best 4X games out there. It is a franchise that is willing to take chances when it comes to its own evolution, rather than settle for repeating a familiar formula in order to regurgitate the same thing over and over again, every couple of years. Yet what is truly most impressive, at least in the eyes of this reviewer, is the ability it has shown to itself adapt in response to the evolutionary technological developments that the last 25 years has witnessed to deliver titles that are not only consistent with Civilization’s core foundations, but to offer experiences that improve it. Within the genre, Civilization is known for its ability to masterfully combine strategical complexity with an overall vision that effectively encapsulates a genuine sense of wonder. Over the years the game has evolved, tweaking things here and there, changing things up, sometimes getting it wrong but more often than not setting the standard for 4X gaming.
It’s impressive to think that the Civilization franchise is now 25 years old. So, what does the next turn have to offer?
#Civilization 6 reviews series#
Civilization VI – the newest installment in this incredible series – is, of course, no different in its endeavor. Sid Meier’s Civilization has always been bold, offering players the opportunity to experience history via a gameplay experience that spans from ancient beginnings through to a future amongst the stars.
