Civilization V is a very good 4X strategy game made by Firaxis. In this game, you have a build an empire to stand the test of time. Civilization 5 is a very fun game to play, especially if you love strategy games. If you do want to buy the game, I recommend buy the Complete Edition when it is on sale.

GOOD:
-The game has very nice graphics.
-The game has 1000s of mods you can download. These mods vary from civilizatoins to enourmous scenarios.
-Civ 5 is much easier to play for a casual player than any of the other Civilization games. This makes it easy for anyone new to the series to understand what is happening and to enjoy the game.
-The game has many scenarios that you can play. These scenarios can be fun, but they're not for everyone.

BAD:
-Playing mulitplayer with strangers is useless. This is because people quit half way through a game. However, they're Steam groups that play multiplayer games with no quitting.
-Games of Civ are usually long (6 hours +) even on the quick speed.
-The base game is alright. However, to get the full experience, you need to buy the 'Gods and Kings' and 'Brave New World' DLCs.
