Putting in the effort to really understand the game is not easy, but once you’ve started to figure out all the different systems at play everything starts to get very satisfying - and also very challenging. Playing Civ skillfully is not something that comes naturally, and given how long a single game can be it’s incredibly frustrating to get deep into a run only to find that you’re hopelessly outmatched because of poor decisions you made over a hundred turns ago. For example, you are taught what civics are and how they can enhance your empire, but you aren’t given any guidance on what you should be focusing on based on your current situation.

Though Civ VI appears to have robust tutorial options based on your past experience with the franchise, it does a poor job of actually teaching you how to play. This is where my biggest issue with Civ VI comes to light. The amount of different resources you need to keep track of can frankly be overwhelming, and understanding how all of them interact with each other is key to successfully competing in the world stage. Facets of everyday government are represented through resources food represents how fast your cities grow, amenities represent how many citizens your city can comfortably sustain, production represents how quickly you can build new units or buildings, and so on. Starting with a single city and a single group of warriors, you grow over the course of centuries into a major competitor on the world stage in a gamified simulation of real life diplomacy, politics, and civil management. In Civilization VI, you take control of an infant nation at the dawn of history. Even so, it definitely took more trouble than I would’ve liked to wrap my head around the game mechanics. With Civilization making its way to Nintendo Switch I think I’ve finally come around to understanding what there is to love about the latest iteration of Sid Meier’s classic strategy series. The newest entry in the franchise completely failed to hold my attention and I found myself returning to Civ V before long.

Two years ago I bought Civilization VI at launch on PC and for some reason it didn’t resonate with me.
