    Civilisation VI is very much a marmite kind of game – you’ll either love it or hate it. While I am indeed a fan (of marmite and Civ), I did feel slightly let down by the laggy performance and seemingly slower pace than I remember. The wonderful aesthetics manage to make up for this to a degree though, and if you’re after something to sink some real time into the Civ VI will absolutely be your cup of tea.

    Although it doesn’t include all the PC game’s extra content, Civ VI comes to the PS4 and Xbox with both the Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm expansions and the latter in particular is a literal game changer. I can certainly imagine using Civ VI as an engaging educational tool to consider the many competing forces around climate change. That sounds dreary. Of course, Civilization VI on PS4 remains what it has always been: addictive, accessible and fun.

    Great Game.

    This was the first time playing a Sid Meier's Civilization game and I enjoyed it! There is a learning curve in playing this game but once you finish an entire playthrough on the easiest mode to see how the mechanics work you are set to go. I liked that you can choose the size of your map to extend your gameplay and has a lot of DLC. This game essentially expanded my view of what the strategy genre had to offer.

    Good but now great, compare to Civ 5

    I've played Civilizations games from CIVs 4 to CIVs 5, and I have mixed feelings about CIVs 6. There are a lot of gameplay changes that are, in fact, quite good, but I guess there are just some things that didn't quite make an impact. I like how simple things can be in CIVs 4 and 5 but rather challenging in CIVs 6, such as policy changes. In these strategy games, where there are lots of things to consider, I guess it's good that the Game UI should be as simple as possible.  For now 7 out of 10.
