Average is currently Review Agreegator Metacritic With 80 possible marks out of 100. It is solid in itself, but comes back compared to the previous offshoot: “Civilization 6” scores 88 points on metacritic, “Civilization 5” 90 marks and “Civilization 4” even 94 marks. These “CIVs” games have shaped style in the last decade such as no other game series. In contrast, “CIV 7” looks like an average 4X game based on initial reviews.
The range is big
Personal reviews are quite different. Didiogame praises “CIV 7” on Chronicle Clover And 5 of the 5 stars. The game magazine wrote in conclusion, “Civilization 7 is quite brave that without losing the chain, he has created a creed to make big changes in its formula.” This is at the other end of the spectrum British magazine Eurogamar“CIV 7” rewards 2 of only 5 potential stars and enters the new offshoot. “It is a boring, contradictory game,” writes the Eurogamer. “Instead of showing everyone how it works, it has felt like a game from the beginning that leaves the 4x throne empty.”
Most reviews get a compromise between these two extreme positions – as well as IgnThe largest traditional sports medium in the United States. The reviewer rewards 7 of the ten points and with the user interface, as well as promoting evaluation with other things, justifies them for IGN relationships, which gives very little information. In general, the new part seems a bit simple, she writes.
Age system controversial
The center of several reviews has the “CIV 7” age system, which has been controversial since the announcement. A campaign no longer involves the uninterrupted flow of the game with the same group. Age divides a “CIV 7” game in three chapters: antiquity, age of investigation, and modernity. Players choose a new civilization during transition in a new era. For example, Egypt is available only in antiquity. While some examiners greet this fresh air, others find the new game as interchangeable. “But the feeling of solidarity disappears in the middle of the game”, For example Pcgamesn writes,
“Civilization 7” will be playable as part of the initial access to buyers of premium versions from 6 February. All other buyers can start playing from February 11. The final release has shown that the evaluation of the game “civilization” can change over time with the release of patch and extension.
