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.
I want to add on that Sid Meier had a philosophy called the one third rule, where on third of a new game would be kept from the previous, one third would be improved systems and one third would be new. I don't think he is big into the studio at the moment, but i can see him still being a guiding light.
I don't play many games, but civ patches will get the game polished and it will be a world better at some point. Until then, you can be the part that is booming the system or wait until the product is in a place that the community loves
