Best of luck to Firaxis on grooming a new generation of Civ VII fans on the Switch. Core Civ fans like myself have already written it off.

The sooner we get moving on Civ VIII, which should be Civ 6 with better AI and proper solutions to the challenges plaguing 6, the better.

I'm not so sure this time, although it will happen as you say with some folks. This is a nice entry game for Civ players, but I've played Civ since the DOS days and I abhor this game. Worse than Civ IV. But like that time, I will just play the previous version until the next one comes along. I learned my lesson here and will never just blindly buy a Civ game again. I just can't see this version generating the revenue to sustain itself.

I paid full price for the Founders Edition and I'm quite sure at this point, I will never drop another dime on DLC for this game. My play time in this game holds at the first 20 hours I tried it. Back to Civ 6.

Like some others, I'm already waiting on Civ VIII, which I want to be the improved version of Civ 6 I was expecting this time.

I too have been playing Civ since its inception. I hated Civ 4 and so far, Civ 7 is giving it a good run for my wasted money. I can't get to the good points of Civ 7 while overcoming the bad.

Civ 7 can be its own game, with its own future, but I I'd prefer to spend money on an improved Civ 6.

I don't like the look of Civ 7, which is so white/gray, I have difficulty identifying most terrain characteristics. I'm really put off by the mixing and leaders and Civs in Civ 7. I don't want to be Ben Franklin, founding Rome. I could go on, but many others have already complained and I agree with most of what I'm hearing.

There may be some game mechanics I grow to appreciate in Civ 7, but I'm not certain I'll spend the time to find out and am certainly considering whether its time to stop funding Firaxis.

I played 30 minutes of Civ 7 this morning. We'll have to see. I always have a hard time adjusting to the visual layout and this version is no different. I've been playing since the DOS versions and for many reasons, I hated Civ 4 more than all. But no need to re-hash that. I did like Civ 6 a lot - we ll into many releases. I highly suspect Civ 7 is more of the same. We'll have to wait for several releases with stupid names before Civ 7 is ready for prime time.
