Civilization VII, one month later: The community and developers chime in
1 min read
Summary
Civilization VII has generally received positive reviews from the gaming press, although its USER reviews on Steam and Metacritic were not so glowing when it was launched.
A month later, gamer feedback and patches released by developer Firaxis have helped evolve the game.
Civ VII made several significant departures from the usual Civilization formula, such as breaking the game into separate distinct ages, allowing combinations of leaders and civilisations from different periods in history and removing worker units.
These departures were welcomed by many critics, while others felt that some expected features were missing and that some gameplay elements required more polishing.
Despite this, the overall consensus is that this new direction is a welcome refresh, and players who prefer the traditional Civ formula can always go back and replay earlier Civ games.
