About what you would expect from a Civilization game, only that's kind of a problem because this is game number 6 in the series and I'm finding it very difficult to think of something positive to say about it that isn't also true for Civilization V. I'm also not a fan of the art style which honestly looks like complete garbage to me.
The cost of entry is also much higher, sure, the base game is often on sale, but without the expansions it's rather barren. Also, it comes with the crappy 2K launcher which adds nothing of value and it's only there to steal whatever personal information they can gather.
To conclude, Civilization VI is fine. There's nothing really terrible about it, but it's also not very memorable either.

One of the slickest games I've played in a while. Neon White takes a relatively straightforward gameplay loop, and tells you to go buck-wild with it, optimizing your movement and strats to chase the top of the leaderboard. Its simplicity works to its benefit, as it puts the pressure on your own strategy and execution, which means that if you gave this game a bad rating, it is in fact, a Skill Issue

Not sure why everyone is crying that the anime dialogue is cringe, I thought that was expected? Dialogue aside, I did find the overall story mildly interesting at times, though I have to agree that the "Good" ending doesn't exactly work thematically. But again, its all anime nonsense anyway so who cares about the story when you can literally hit F to skip all of it?

Definitely didn't expect this to be my runner-up GOTY for 2022, but it certainly deserves the praise its getting. Its a banger of a game and probably the best time trial/speedrunning game out there.
