I've played a lot of Civilization in my life. Like, A LOT a lot. So much that I didn't play much of Civ 6 when it came out due to sheer Civilization exhaustion. But then it came. The hankering. The need to passively observe Gandhi eviscerating country after country in his quest for dominance as I watch on the sidelines and offer him endless sheep and uranium for prolonged peace. After finally playing a campaign of Civ 6, I'm happy to report that it is, indeed, another Civ game.

That means you know exactly what you're getting and what you're getting is the video game equivalent of pizza, pulled pork, chicken wings, spare ribs and BBQ brisket coming together to make an ultimate food baby. In short, it slaps. There's very few changes outside of storms that make you waste 7 turns fixing your 80 turtle farms, the addition of a districts mechanic and giant Pacific Rim death robots that Scotland will randomly set on you for unjustly nuking Birmingham (it's a shithole guys, I'm doing us a favour).

But listen. Sean Bean does the voice-over now. SEAN BEAN. And if that isn't a game-changing innovation, then I don't know what is.
