Summary
Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 (Civ 7) is a new turn-based strategic game developed by Firaxis, and has been released on Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store
It launched in early access last week, and while there is no review yet from Rock, Paper, Shotgun (RPS), critic Sin Vega reviewed the game for Eurogamer and described it as lacking character and feeling largely pointless.
Civ 7’s new Age structure, which breaks up the campaign into narrative-driven chunks, was described as a source of irritation.
There are patches in the works for issues including the camera, AI and naval combat, and seasonal updates are planned.
RPS argues that this has warranted accusations that certain features should be included in the launch game.
The writer looks forward to playing the game in six months’ time.
