This game ruined my productivity and sleep schedule.

Worth it, 10/10

[TGCidolfus]

The steam review of "I can quit any time I want." With 14, 671 hours played... is painfully accurate.

"as a single turn become a micromanagement nightmare"

I felt that

[Geffalrus]

My finest achievement was convincing my college anthropology professor to spend the last day of class playing Civ 2 on the lecture room computer while everyone watched. 🙂

Civilization 6 plays best on the Steam Deck. Not only does the combination of game pad, trackpads and touch screen feel like the most natural way to play it but the “3% battery remaining” warning actually creates a stopping point where you can’t one more turn anymore no matter how bad you want to.

I remember playing Civ V years ago. I started playing at around 8 pm. I had started a war and wanted to complete just one more turn. Many turns later, I heard a noise and thought, "are those...birds?" At that point, it was 5 am.

Great work on this trailer. Also, let's hear it one time for the Civ V: Brave New World cinematic intro!

This game saved me during CoViD lockdown.

Left screen, zoom meetings.
Right screen, work information.
Middle screen, Civ VI.

Always looked like I was paying attention to the meetings!

There was nothing quite like playing the Civ boardgame for building friendships! Just like Monopoly or Uno, but an hours-long slowburn that ultimately made you understand Ghandi's simmering nuclear rage to nuke these fools. lol

me watching the honest trailer for the series that raised me with tears in my eyes: it's beautiful

[boredguy]

The gateway to the hard stuff. One moment you're naming your cities stinky but and then you somehow have a crippling hoi4 addiction and a history degree.

[matthewgillies]

Funny how 23 years of my life can be so easily condensed down into a trailer less than five minutes long.

[douglasnunes]

"Hmm, let's not get cancelled" was genius

[ScytheNoire]

I didn't think you'd be able to capture the legendary Civilization series in such a short video, but you did an amazingly competent job of doing just that.
You nailed it. Great job!

[bobbyferg]

While it was an awkward child of Civ games, Civilization Beyond Earth holds a special place in my heart

[mzple]

Also has some of the best soundtracks in Gaming. Baba Yetu is a legit masterpiece.

[armelior]

They actually did it ! They didn't give us the best starring section of all times though, which I would understand if they hadn't done the entire pokemon roster. Several times.

[librarian]

Sid Meier’s Colonization is actually a real game.

[ozzya]

The end game where each turn takes about half an hour is a very different kind of pain

[anthonyzullo]

Civilization is one of those Perfect Games. Every form its existed it has been captivating. I have given a third of my life to video games and I am very certain that the majority of that time was strategy games. From age of empires at 4 years old all the way to today.

[sergioparentini]

Been playing since 1991 when I was 9 and now I'm 40 and still playing. Helped me a lot in history classes!
