The game just keeps getting better and better, without having to pay anything extra! Heavy recommend if you love exploration

Space, the Final Frontier. Fly your Millenium Falcon straight from Serenity Valley to the Tannhäuser Gate. This 4x has all your sci-fi covered.

And by now, the game also includes Space Cthulhu, Cybermen and Daleks, StarGate, and much much more.

Its fun zooming in on these tiny dots of special buildings on the map and recognizing something cool

When the first screenshots came out I was wary of the chosen art style as those pictures looked very offputting. When the gameplay videos started coming out it looked better and I started getting excited.

Now that I have finally gotten my hands on the game, and experienced it first hand, I cannot say anything but that it is a very solid game! It is miles ahead of Civilization 5's release, and nearly equal to Brave New World (only thing that keeps Civ 5 ahead with its DLC is the number of available civilizations and the ability to rename cities, but districts and religious combat make up for it greatly in 6).

The game's strategy requirement has gone up with the inclusions of Districts, forcing you to think further ahead on placing cities besides hill/river/coastal/mountain-adjacency, but rather you have to think about all the tiles in its future 3-tile radius. Add to that the need for walls to be able to bombard, and the increased strength of barbarians if you don't deal with them swiftly, the early game requires a lot more thinking than ever before.

Wonders are a lot harder to get with their requirements, making them truly an achievement to obtain. Also requiring a full tile on the map adds to the district strategy as well.

With over 1000 hours in Civilization 5, and countless more in even older installments, Firaxis has truly delivered a very good vanilla product, and I am already excited to see how future DLC and Expansions will upgrade it even more to become the ultimate in 4X gaming!

Great game, constantly being updated through patches and more dlc, highly recommended for those map-staring experts to last you through those insomniac nights. And yet still learning more every playthrough!

But, screw Austria. Seriously.

Just... one... more... turn...
