- Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2016Platform: PCEdition: StandardVerified PurchaseFull disclosure - I'm not really a gamer. However, have played every single one since its time of release, starting with the original DOS 1991 edition. It's my thing. Love to be able to play just a few turns if I want and stretch it our, or binge on a weekend when family has gone to bed.
Successors within the series have all dealt with the share of changing manufacturers, game improvements, game setbacks, and even WTF (looking at you Beyond Earth). No, Civ VI is not without it's launch flaws - just like all major releases of any franchise game. However, the do not take away from the extremely satisfy gameplay experience:
I'm running an older homemade rig: MSI gaming board; AMD FX 6300; Nvidia Geoforce GTX 960. Certainly not the most screaming system, but more than enough to run every setting on High with no lag and high frame rate. There is a benchmark test option in menu, in which computer plays itself to make sure it's set up correctly for you.
Pro: Great graphics for this kind of game. Reflections, shadows, sunlight glare off of the water, waves, topography detail, even an option to allow game to track time of day and ambience accordingly. Best of any Civ game yet. One must dedicate districts next to cities form many improvements, which makes original city placement more important than ever before. Every city can't be an equal monster, so you have to pick and choose carefully.
Pro: Satisfying game play with challenges even for long time veteran players. Changes to how Civics work, builder vs workers (huge improvement), Trade caravans build roads automatically as they travel a route for the first time.
Pro: I bought physical disc from Amazon presale. Loaded very quickly from disk (yes - still requires Steam, but I'm not seeing any problems).
Con: Even a veteran like me has been struggling on Prince level. I backed it down to Warlord and later even Chiefdom for my first game. It's a harder play, at least until you get used to it.
Con: A/I would be one of biggest complaints. Not nuanced enough. Even when I do everything another Civ seemingly wants, they end up launching surprise wars for which I'm usually not ready. Really have to pay attention to their personalities and game engine desire to oppose your progress, so they throw things like this at you.
Con: Effing Barbarians! New model sends out barbarian scouts, which upon finding your city race back to their hideout and spawn a non-stop army until camp is found and defeated. Barbarians can also immediately spawn several weapon characters beyond your own abilities. There's no option yet other than on/off for barbarians, so early in game dedicate heavily in scouts and find them before they find you. Kill their scouts before the return, and camp won't spawn (unless they've found another Civ).
Pro/Con: Mod community will fix all of this in time with added nuance and options. That will make this a tremendous game instead of just a very good one. We just need to wait awhile for Mod community to start cranking out all the fun stuff we enjoyed applying to Civ 5.
Conclusion: If you are a Civ series fan, then buy this without delay. You'll be very satisfied. There's no other title on the planet (turn based or otherwise) that is as satisfying to me as the feeling one gets from waging war, embracing pacifism and economics, or anything in between with this series. As an aside, Civ games are what always prompted me to buy or build new systems. I don't want to miss anything. As the requirements aren't that intensive, my older rig does just fine. However, have an older gaming laptop which always crashed CIV 5, so can't speak to how will the game will run on integrated graphics or mobile graphics cards.
"Yes honey, I'm coming up to bed now," ....just....one......more.....turn..... Hahah!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2016Platform: PCEdition: StandardVerified PurchaseActually, I don't hate the game itself because I never got to play it. I hate the Steam gaming service is that is required to play it. I actually LOVE Civilization and have been a big fan since Version II. I bought this game after good reviews and a wonderful gaming history with Civ.
Then Steam ruined EVERYTHING.
Steam is an online gaming service that requires online verification and the download of massive amounts of downloaded content, even though you purchase an installation DVD. The problem is that you can NEVER connect to the Steam servers in order to access this content. At first, I thought I was doing something wrong, had incorrect settings, or some kind of glitch. No....this is a KNOWN and extremely COMMON problem and Steam isn't correcting it. Google it. There are massive amounts of web-pages complaining about the non-service. There are YouTube videos showing you how to re-direct your server connections to other parts of the country and WORLD in order to get a live connection. They tell you how to clear your cache and delete the majority of Steam-related folders so to "start fresh" with a clean download/installation.
I followed every step and took every measure available, yet with OVER ONE HUNDRED INSTALLATION ATTEMPTS over 10-12 days, I could never get a successful connection. I had to replace my PC and even tried re-installing older Steam products (including earlier Civ versions), but none of them ever connected either. I changed my server connections to every region in America and then all over the world, and nothing would ever work. Sadly, if you read online, mine is a very common experience. If there were only a few of us, I would think "Well, the users are doing something wrong." But when it happens constantly and consistently over a broad range of users and NO ONE has come out with a meaningful and successful solution, it can't be just "US" doing something wrong. Steam has to bear the brunt of the responsibility, yet they do nothing to fix it.
The worst part -and this is why I hate them- is that YOU CANNOT CONNECT TO STEAM SUPPORT! They have a vague and non-specific "Help Guideline" page that offers no significant help whatsoever. Beyond that, they offer ZERO technical support. At least in my experience, I did every search I could think of and can't find a single phone number or email address for actual support.
Civ 6 might be the greatest game every produced but I'll never find out because I'm sending it back. Plus, I'll never spend a dime on Steam-related products again. Any company that has such a prolonged and broad-based customer service problem yet doesn't do a thing to correct can go screw themselves. I'll spend my money with companies that appreciate my business and STRIVE to give me a satisfactory gaming experience.

3.0 out of 5 stars Para ativar o game é pedida a chave do produto que infelizmente não acompanha a o DVD ROM.
Platform: PCEdition: StandardVerified PurchaseSou usuário dos jogos dessa franquia (Sid Meyer's) desde as primeira versões e até hoje me distraio com o Civilization VI, em modo single, que me parece a versão eletrônica que mais se aproxima do xadrez. Entretanto não pude ainda experimentar esta versão VI.
