I don't often recommend games, but Civilization VI has to be on the list of ones I do. Is it perfect? No, in fact there are some pretty major issues with it. Why am I still recommending it? It's still fun, particularly if you're playing with a friend, or just want to screw around. Don't like chasing victories, eschewing useful techs and civics in order to win? Don't! The computer is inept enough on normal difficulties that you'll have no problem banging out a victory whether you play tactically or casually.I'm sure that would stop many people from being interested, or cause them to criticise it, and that criticism is both fair, and relevant. That said, I have still gladly pumped hundreds of hours into this game, and will continue to play for hundreds more. If you can look past the stupid AI and the multiplayer glitches, you'll find a game which has interesting included content, and a pretty solid modding community, which helps to give the game fresh life once you've become bored or frustrated with the base mechanics and content.It's flawed, and poorly updated (the multiplayer glitch has existed since Civilization V), yet if you can deal with workarounds or just suffer through, you'll find Civ VI a very entertaining game which doesn't have to be taken seriously or studied intensely to be enjoyed. Just don't expect the developers to actually do anything about the issues.As a final note, I strongly suggest picking the game up on sale if or when possible. The game is still great for a modest price, but at full price you deserve not only a good game, but a company that gives a damn about actually solving problems with their games. 2K isn't it.
