Never played the Civ series before, but I'm totally into strategy games. Recently got 200 hours into Pennon and Battle and kinda burned out now. The Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era which I'm hyped for isn't out yet, and there's nothing else in the strategy genre grabbing me. Was about to jump into Civ 7 but saw the mixed reviews... ugh.
Looks like the general consensus is that its not terrible, but is unfinished and not at all worth the price.
If you're looking to get into Civ, I'd probably recommend either five for a more complete, and polished game, or six for a weirder and more experimental game.
