Great turn-based strategy game in Sid Meier’s tradition. Precisely what one would expect. I haven’t played Civilization before, but had played Alpha Centauri. Everything made sense and was well explained.
Classic game, the fifth iteration is by far the best!
After a bit shaky 4, the fifth take on the immortal classic by Sid Meier hits the sweet spot.
Not only is it gorgeous, smooth, and well-designed graphically, but it offers a great variety of features and complexity which does not feel forced.
Recommend to play with both addons available to date. “Gods and kings” was not particularly good when it came out, felt a bit early and not ready. The second addon though fixed all of the problems, while expanding those that felt a bit lacking.
If you got that turn-based-itch, look no further than this game =)
Great game. Steam is horrible.
Tried for three days and 20 emails to sign back into steam after I bought a new Mac.
Wish they had a way of playing the game armed with only the disk and the activation code on the back of manual.
I would give 9 stars to the game
and 0 stars for Steam. Maybe a five to steam if it worked.
