Need enlightment : what is so special ?

[DeLastOne]

To be honest I am not sure what exactly is new in this CIV .

I am reading the store page and it is a lot of marketing limbo I get nothing from.

Can someone explain to me what is so new in this game that will make it unique compared to previous iterations…

What makes you want to play it ?

Streamlined Gameplay to reduce clicks.

A whole new way for diplomacy

Optimised Warfare

The Progress is Split in 3 Ages, with own special gameplay features. It also force you to switch civilisations with esch age.

Core Points of Negative reviews:

Ui is bad and lacking sometimes important information.

German translation is bad.

Ai got problems in the 3. Age

Some combinations of leader and civs are extremly strong. Bad Bslance here

Nothing makes you want to play it except that it's quite different from previous games in the Civ franchise which, in turn, is making many players feel irritated / threatened / annoyed (or pick your own poison). For me the difference is the secret sauce that's encouraged me to buy and look forward to playing it. As for what's 'new', unless you've played previous releases in the franchise it won't make any sense to explain them. Well, to be fair, it would take too long to explain them.

Thanks for taking the time… I guess I will just wait a bit and look at the feedbacks. Still enjoying civ6 anyhow

I mean, earlier titles are different enough to warrant still playing them.

Not sure if you're really missing out if you don't get this new one day one when you still have fun with the previous titles.

What I think is notable about the Civ series is no Civ game is clearly "better" than the rest. Everyone has their preference; a new Civ game does not cancel out or invalidate previous Civ games. I still go back at play Civ 4,5, and 6, depending on what I'm in the mood for.

If Civ7 doesn't pull you in with its sales pitch, give it some time. If history is anything to go on, Civ games always get better with age and expansions.
