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.
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.
Got the base game for free on steam. Graphics are amazing and the gameplay is very immersive. Starts slow at first since you are just a newborn civilization that's steadily growing. You have to develop your economy and war potential since you could get in a fight at any moment if you're not careful.

CIv 6 without the DLCs Rise & Fall and Gathering Storm isn't worth getting. It's playable but it's lacking in many aspects. So if you plan on getting this, be sure to include the DLC packs. Otherwise, get Civ 5 instead.
