GamesRadar+ Verdict
Civilization 7 is a revolutionary strategy game for newcomers and long-time fans alike.
I know these things are bad.
Civilization 7brings a lot to the table, and notallof it requires abandoning your morality to play with.
The first thing you’ll notice is that you no longer pick a Civilization and get to work.
I was worried this feature would dilute the identity of factions, but that’s not the case.
Likewise, I’ve been dreading how Ages would work since Civilization 7’s reveal.
This is particularly frustrating if you’re in the middle of something important.

That’s not an indictment, though.
Since then, I’ve realized that it takes time to learn how Ages work.
I’ve got mixed feelings.

When all of that clicks, Civilization 7 is a thrill.
Volcanic eruptions change surrounding tiles, rivers flood, and powerful storms can wreak havoc.
That liveliness extends to combat’s impressive fluidity.
Commodifying diplomacy is an interesting choice (see Strong Influence).
That in itself is another can of worms, as Civilization 7 goes big on expansion.
I had no idea what to expect from Civilization 7.
Civilization 7 was reviewed on PC, with a code provided by the publisher.
