Civilization VII
SCORE: 74
I will come right out and say it. I am a little bit disappointed with
Civilization VII. I did not think this franchise could disappoint me,
but Civilization VII certainly did it. First and foremost the different
ages are interesting, but can get really boring. For example the
Exploration Age is so slow. Part of the problem for me is I had so many
cities that were so far apart.
For some reason not every city in Civilization VII can produce the same
things. It is also really expensive to do anything. The main capital can
produce more troops over so many turns. So I would go turn after turn
with little to no progress. I also learned to amass troops at the border
of neighbors I wanted to conquer. Many times they accepted my peace
offerings if I only asked for one city from them. This was another way
to expand my empire in Civilization VII.
The issues families can have are violence, lack of attire, enticement to
lust, bad language, alcohol, tobacco, false gods, and more. Players can
pick from different religions in Civilization VII at a certain point. We
can even send missionaries to other civilizations to try and convert
them. There are different paths to victory in Civilization VII. I
recommend sticking with one path to try and make it happen. It can be
challenging to get that final victory in Civilization VII.
The leaders in Civilization VII are really lame. I have no idea who some
of these people are. There are really smaller and lesser known people
like Harriet Tubman. Is this part of the Biden Administration paying
video game companies to include more DEI in their video games? Is this
part of the woke mental illness? I do not know for certain. I do know
the leaders stick out in Civilization VII.
I live streamed Civilization VII on our YouTube channel for nine
episodes. Those episodes were an hour and fifteen minutes to one hour
and thirty minutes per live stream. I kept trying to get progress in
Civilization VII. The progress was slow a great many times. Civilization
VII kept throwing new leaders onto the map to deal with. To make matters
worse I would conquer someone but not realize they had another town
somewhere out in these islands. It felt like trying to squash a
cockroach. I do not see myself going back to this game anytime soon.
