Civilization VII preview: The most complete package since IV
1 min read
Summary
With Civilization VII slated for release next month, early impressions suggest it’s a successful return to form for the series, feeling like a natural evolution while eschewing the prior entry’s design pitfalls, according to gaming news site Rock, Paper, Shotgun.
While not a reset to pre-VI times, VII notably refines that title’s hex-based city district system, and is the most radical overhaul yet in a single new release without any expansions.
Civilization VII aims to be an ideal entry point for new players, with improved tutorials, clearly laid out systems and guidance closely provided at the beginning, although the learning curve is still steep when compared to titles like Crusader Kings III and Europa Universalis IV.
