The Worst Civ Game Ever?

[Omega Sirius]

Hmmmm the reviews aren't looking too good bros... It's over

As much as people may or may not like it on PC, I have been hearing it is even worse on PS5, where problems with crashing are making it borderline unplayable for some people.

You mean to tell me they made a console version of this mess? Lol

It is certainly the worst mainline Civilization, that is clear. That said, while it's an awful Civilization title, if we rank it including spinoffs I would say it is better than Revolution, as well as Rev 2, and about equal with Beyond Earth without the Rising Tide expac. In fact, it's about the same level of complexity as Revolution in a general sense. If it were titled as such I probably would have been singing its praises while remarking how I can't wait for Civ VII proper to release. Alas.

That is incorrect, sir. Civilization Revolution is better than Civilization 7, objectively speaking. There are literally people out there that still play it to this day.
I'm not sure what the appeal is with Civ 7. It looks like a worse Civ 6 in my opinion.

Every new civ release is "the worse Civ game EVAR" until people calm down and accept the changes.

Nah, this is really the worst Civ game I've seen. Civ 6 had a much better launch than this.

The obvious current flaws of the repetitiveness of the era game play loop and the few actual civs you currently start a game with and lack of game customization will sink in over the next days/weeks, lowering player count, right now the new feeling and the new combat system and graphics and mods / hope for mods/changes is keeping it in ok shape, not great, I think once the shiny new wears off we will see how far it falls in player count, this will determine how bad it gets compared to other games.

Rose tinted glasses, but sure, OK.

I think if this game was advertised as a spin off, it would have better reviews. But since it is literally a main sequel, it's judged differently.

As someone who has played every Civ, from 3 onwards - this is not a true statement. The game is far behind from Civ 6 and a bland copy of Humankind, as the customer we can demand and expect better.

Good news, started playing with friends on Civ 6 again

I've seen the "This game is not a real Civ game" comment being thrown around every Civ game release starting from Civ 3.

You can't treat every game the same. That's just not the fair to the developers or the players that play them. Sounds like to me, you are letting other people's opinions cloud your judgement.

The award for the worst game of 2025 has already been won without a doubt, because I doubt they will make a worse one than this one, there should also be an award for the stupidest idea in video games, they would win it too

[Audie_Murphy]

So you're posting like this and sounds like don't even own the game? Not cool, just not cool at all. How about get the game, actually play the game and then come back and speak. Oh and Revolution is in no way better then Civ 7 i don't know who told you that or where you got that from. Oh and why are you here in the first place if you do not like the game?
