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.
This right here.
I played 6 at launch and it was a huge downgrade from 5 but now it's been updated so much it's now unrecognizable from what was released as 6.
Every patch, update, and DLC will change it incrementally back into a similar experience as the others. They like to try to get real wild with the initial release but it tends to get back to the same sort of things eventually.
