***Sid Meier's Civilization VII***

Its in the Steam sale at the moment for £41.99, still mixed reviews. Anyone on here actually enjoying it? I still play Civ V.

I think it's worth the entry price. I haven't racked up as many hours as I did on Civ V, but I'm getting up towards 200 hours. I haven't tried the latest round of changes since this week's patch but they seem well received. I think it's substantially better than Civ VI which was the first Civ I didn't really get on with.

Tbh these days I judge games on the amount of hours of enjoyment I'll get from it. Rather pay £41.99 for something I might get 300 hours out of, than a single player campaign in a game that lasts 8 hours. Each to their own though.

Yeah that's why I'm waiting for this particular Civ to be £3.99

The first truly disappointing Civ game ever. I've played 50 times as much Civ 6 maybe 20 times as much Civ 5 and a little bit more Civ 4 than I have Civ 7 since it's release. I won't give them my trust again, I'll wait for it to be a mature popular release before I buy any subsequent Civ games.
 
Haven't touched it in several months and none of the updates appear all that tempting. AoW4 and Gal Civ 4 are keeping me occupied for my TBS fix.

Anyone who is still playing, or thinks they may go back to it later when its been updated, they're currently offering the Tides of Power Collection for free, providing you claim it in the next couple of months.

I claimed it and went in and played a game as Edward Teach. Got to the end of the first era, saved and shutdown. I still much prefer Civ 6 to be honest.

Are they still not going to cave and give the option to play without the age transitions yet then?

They're adding a single civ all the way through option. Dumb decision, imo. It'll compromise the entire design of the game to satisfy people who are never going to love this iteration.

Whilst I don't like Civ7 I do agree in principle that compromising their vision for people who will never like it isn't the greatest idea.

I'm not sure what to think of Teach so far, he has a very different feel to the other leaders which I guess is a good thing. The piracy thing is neat, but it effectively creates a low-level forever war with every other civ, including the ones you're trying to be friends with as until you get to the highest friendship level your boats are considered hostile by them. Finished the first age, now to try out "Republic of Pirates" in the second.

Exactly this. I think they're likely to end up with a game that fails to really deliver for those of us that like the ages whilst still disappointing those that hate them. A compromised vision is unlikely to really sing.
 
Still another 6 months on this stinker to air it out with free DLC.

And I bought the founders edition, boy oh boy.

It always amazes me how since 5 they seem to completely forget how to make civ games and what people want....

Turning civ into 3 mini era sub games was by far the weirdest choice for a decade, it's getting back on track.

They made the mistake of believing that people not finishing the game was a problem that needed fixing when it wasnt.

Its a perfectly acceptable move in chess to concede if you know youre in a losing position.

Far more enjoyable to start a new game than chase a king around

Yeah I got the founders edition - I keep going back periodically to try again after spending so much on it, but every time I'm left aghast at how janky it all feels. Civ 5 is still my Civ of choice :(
