And I really always otherwise always love strategy games. Just feels very dull, unnecessary complicated, the parameters and stats illogical and just generally unrewarding and confusing. Expect much more on Civilization 6 on IGN this week, including a look at todayвЂ™s trailer from the developersвЂ™ perspective and a chat about the new art style. There is no red thread, no overview, or general purpose of anything. In each turn it just feels like: вЂњhmm I can move my scout a few spots, hmm okay still 14 turns until the next unit it ready, move my scout a bit again, oh itвЂ™s my turn again.вЂќ Seriously I have never been so frustrated on a strategy game. The gameplay seems incredible messy with various parameters that just does not seem logical in any way. But after several hours of really trying to get into this game, I just never got that feeling of excitement. After finally getting through the dreadful and confusing tutorial, I thought okay, I just need to learn this before it will get fun. Opening the game for first time was quite a thrill, and I really liked the intro and especially the music composition. I stumbled upon the various reviews in here, and everyone is yay-9/10 positive вЂ“ so I thought yes this must be it! A little pricy but what the hell if it is fun. I recently bought and Xbox one X, and naturally started searching for a strategy game to play.

I played every single age of empires game on pc for hundred and hundreds of hours, red alert, tower defence games вЂ“ you name it. I played every single age of empires game on pc for hundred and hundreds of I would describe myself as quite a strategy game enthusiast. The good people at Firaxis can do better.I would describe myself as quite a strategy game enthusiast. The endgame is mostly clicking 'next turn' for an hour and a half until you've won. Spy options are nice and I'm glad you can steal technology again. You can force them to cede a city but they will hold a 4000 year grudge against you.

Barbarians can stall out your civilization if you have a bad start. There is still no bulk move option and you are punished for creating large armies by having a large amount of work moving unites. Nothing is as good as conquering more cities, and I wish Civ VI improved the warfare from previous civilizations.

Many of the World Wonders and bonuses themselves are less game changing. These games are long enough without the additional busy work. In Civ VI, you first have to spend 10 turns building an Industrial Zone on a hex. For example, in Civ V you could build a factor to increase production. Others are just worse than the previous Civ V. Some of the ideas, like having World Wonders on a hex, are good. Culture and the trade routes are where the board game motif breaks apart. Culture is gained by individual pieces of art that must be placed into buildings. Religion is spread by 4 types of playing pieces with their own rules. The policies and governments are presented as playing cards which can be re-shuffled on demand. Each piece has so many moves on the hex board and each hex improvement and building shows up on the board. The game is set up like an interactive board game. Now we have Civ VI, which looks polished and approachable but in actuality is kind of a mess of new ideas and a miserable amount of busy work. Civ IV was pretty good but ran terribly on then contemporary hardware. As a Civ fan since Civ I, I've seen bad Civ games before. I really tried hard to give this game a chance. Civ VI's inherent problems are made worse on a smaller screen and intermittent play sessions.
